This is just an anecdote though. I work in the US and can come in after 10am and leave by 4pm if I want. I can work remote when I want to and have done this for a week out of state and just random weekdays. This is all on a 40hr salary that hasn't been cut. I bring my dog to work and go to lunch when I want to. I shoot the breeze with coworkers when I want to. We still get our work done. There are some times when I work later, but it's because we're trying to get something out and I want to help.
Just saying not everywhere in the US is as bad as people make it sound...
- wott 10y ago> This is just an anecdote though. No, it is not. The guy is telling about a generic situation. And I can tell it goes the same way in Finland too. Yours is an anecdote though. You know pretty well your case is not common.
- jupiter90000 10y agoNot sure how common it is here or anywhere else based off these comments. That's the point. We now have 3 people saying they've got flexible jobs in 3 different countries. It doesn't generalize to 'everyone/most in those respective countries' from that alone. And country-pride or whatever isn't enough to sway me, sorry. I know a number of people here that have more flexibility in their jobs than the Sweden job as described. Did I say 'generically, US is better' or anything like that? No, because maybe it's not true. Maybe you two are right.
