Doris Rauter
Buffet and canteen worker, staff canteen kitchen of a large institution · Klagenfurt, Carinthia
Before Doris Rauter’s fixed costs are even deducted, she already knows what the rest is for: a concert ticket, the down payment for the next cruise. The 51-year-old has worked for more than twenty years in the staff canteen kitchen of a large institution in Klagenfurt, is divorced, and lives in a housing-cooperative flat. Day shifts instead of evening shifts leave her with evenings for her own enjoyment — and a reliable instinct for whether an offer takes her seriously.
