There is a magic word in German that we say to our bosses when they ask for overtime: NEIN!
Maybe you have a similar word in your language. If that’s the case: try it.
google ‘female employment rate’ and observe the anticorrelation
We are going to become real Latinos soon.
This isnt correct at all.
Portuguese people don’t work under 35h (and I am already reducing 4 weeks we have of summer holidays)…
Said it once and I’ll say it again, alot of small hotel owners are carrying Spain and Greece here who say they work 80 hours a week whilst infact they usually just sit behind the reception all day watching TV and occasionally perform a task here and there.

Credibility: none probably..
Those at the top re slaves
Work will give some Greeks, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese freedoms they longed for 🥹
And dont forget to unclog my toilet Lollek while I make double your salary on a third of the hours.
It’s about how much value you create per worked hour.

So Hans … Is work tiring today ? Do you want to go home early not being productive ? Do you need a nap ? Maybe we can get Pedro to do your work, they’re such hard worker.
Good for our germanbros and schwesters. We should all do like them
Total number of hours worked in full-time jobs in Germany is ~1.600 hours per year.
The graphic shows the average hours of all employees. In Germany a lot of people don’t work full-time jobs, cause they have kids and want to spend time with them or they’re still studying. That’s why the number is so low.
We are honorary Mexicans
There’s no way that japan and South Korea work less than mexico
2 nations famous for their overworking of employees and crazy work/life balance
Efficiency not laziness
Productivity > time spend at work (“working”)
Hans calls everyone lazy only to be lazier then half the world.
I think he is projecting.
Imangine needing 2000 hours to get a 1000 hours job done.
Wait so GUNS are turning into PIGS and viceversa??
We live in weird times
All those questions here can be answered by looking at a working ALDI cashier and comparing it to it’s European counterparts.
What I have learned working in international teams, there is work and there is “work”. Spanish people will stay long at the office, but will do nothing for hours. French will talk a lot, but get very few works done and the work they do get done tends to be very superficial… Also, they tend to be late for all appointments, mostly because of taking longer breaks. Germans just do their shit and then go home.
Overtime had record numbers a decade ago, but since it became common practice around the financial crisis for employers to (illegally) not pay overtime anymore and since our taxes on those hours that actually do get paid are massive, people just don’t bother anymore if they can avoid it.

Look at all those shithole countries who have to work quite a lot to make ends meet.
It’s easy to get the work done in less time if you don’t count naps as work time
Germany is probably the less worst country in Europe
Working and being productive do not necessarily align.
Work smarter not harder.
Sweden is so good
Basking in rain rigth now
Uk – France try not to be exactly the same in every poll challenge: impossible
Greece 1900 hours “working” = 14 people for 1 grocery store, all talking to each other while 8 customers are in line waiting
This chart does not take mini Jobs into account (more people in Germany working less than 4 hours per day, compared to Spain for example)
my reaction to this information:
