This is evident in the non-existent European tech industry, hardly any mega cap tech stocks in Europe, and every European I've worked with is just lazy. The 3 hour lunches, the never going above and beyond, the massive vacations. Is it any surprise they get paid 1/4th of their American counterparts?
They're not lazy they're smarter and less whipped
Meanwhile Americans talk and talk and talk to get noticed by bossman, and will think youβre lazy because you donβt the same. As a European, I noticed Americans love to talk and and stay long hours, but theyβre not actually more productive
Theyre probably happier than us, slaving away our youth for overinflated living expenses
IDK I think they think theyβre smarter but theyβre just entitled.
Sorry you feel the inherent need to be a slave, weirdo.
I'd rather be a slave for 4x the money than be 'free' and retire with no money. Enjoy living on the pension in poverty in Europe in that 1 bedroom apartment, I guess.
By the time you retire, your wife will have left you, your kids will despise you, and your body will have fallen apart. Enjoy your wealth then!
Lol. You must be an American to ask this. π
They traded WLB for mediocrity.

I'll take WLB over making a corporation some more bucks
Europe has the following 1) Military charity from the US 2) Colonial wealth looted from India 3) Socialist policies and unions (it is impossible to lay people off there and hence job security) Europe has built a framework for themselves through looted wealth and American alliance through which they never have to life a finger ever again. The biggest innovation out of Europe in the recent times is the following message "We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, serve personalized ads or content, and analyze our traffic.

This is pretty much it - they used to be the height of civilization. Then gave up and let the US take over.
Probably because theyβre out enjoying life instead of thinking about how much other people are working.
They are coping by living with room-mates since they can never buy property, getting financed by the EU suing silicon valley and the US providing them military resources.
They're out there living their best lives, while you're just helping the mega-rich get richer. You hustle every day, only to spend your hard-earned retirement savings on healthcare. Meanwhile, Europeans are chilling, enjoying their robust safety nets.
Is it 'living life' to be lazing on a beach drinking alcohol? Don't forget, due to the lower salaries they'll often 'retire' into a nursing home where they are fed slop and watch daytime TV all day. It's really not any life at all if the last part of your life is spent in a state institution because you didn't work hard and got paid peanuts. How does it make sense? You never move up in life.

Any Indians Think Kashmir Should be Independent?
Are they lazy or is there a well balance between life and work? I would think the latter..
Unless the laziness turned into a well balance between life and work, I would think the word you are looking for is 'latter'..
Lazy, their "life balance" is financed by the US.
