I just started a new job in Hamburg, Germany, same location as the author, and one nice thing they have here is an extremely negative view on overtime, making it very encouraged to remain within hours

Wait until your probezeit ends and your POs metrics get strained.

My coworkers have passed their Probezeit, do you think it's also like them too?

Also, what is with the negativity? Are you depressed? I bet you're just going to say "I'm a Marxist" or something

It's not just a "negative view on overtime", there are also very strict laws around the amount of overtime, how much rest you need between workdays and compensation.
