that tends to happen when missing a day of work means missing a meal
‘Less exploited’
And that’s a good thing.
Maybe. But it’s not a bad thing. We have a safety net, we have laws regulating work so we don’t work ourselves to death and get a proper pay check# we get to see our family, we have affordable daycard/kindergarten so both parents can wok and not one be home in som outdated traditional role while the other works 80+ hour weeks and never see kids or wife
Good
Less hard working because hard work is barely rewarded In this country. Shocking find
Live to work vs work to live.
That’s why productivity per hour worked is…. higher in Norway?
Well Norwegians do not *need* to be as hard working due to the oil industry and the effects it has on the economy.
As a Norwegian in America, I’ll say this is not really true. However, as usual, people bitch alot. Understand the assignment, understand how shit works, and its easier. I get paid pretty well, for almost nothing. I do my job well, and I don’t bitch about shit that’s already established. Easy.
I’ll say this though: Mexicans are better workers than Americans are.
I worked with an American some years back and he had worked in the same company in the US, and he said that the main difference was that Norwegians were at work to do the job and go home whereas in the us there was much more BS time, where people hang at the coffee machine and talked, and thus had to stay longer at work
