Comment Europe Does It Better (Score 3, Informative) 199
Fuck American work culture. It sucks. It's unhealthy. It's unsustainable.
We shouldn't be living to just work. Work should pay for our life, but not be our life.
Europe does it right. Less work hours a week. Some countries like France have rules about contacting employees after hours, 4 weeks of vacation to start, and great benefits.
By contrast, The USA and Canada expects people to be available 24/7. They treat employees like property. And without worker protection and the "at will" work legislation, if you don't like the burn out your employer can fire you without cause.
