Made me think of a documentary I saw, on some Americans working in Norway, where an American guy was asked what the biggest difference was between Americans and Norwegians, and he proudly proclaimed "Norwegians work to live, Americans live to work".

    My company was absorbed by a US company, and it's pretty accurate.

    And, I think they think it must mean that this dedication makes them good at working.

    But they fucking aren't. I constantly have to remind my coworkers that they're not paid by the hour. Work hard, work smart, we can finish up and call it a day. Nope. I swear to god these people are actively contriving ways to ensure we work so badly that it necessitates working late. Which we do not get paid for.

    Then they flex about thier work culture, thier long hours. You fools did this to yourselves, voluntarily, for literally no benefit.
