To answer you questions directly - no. With more detail, the 2 variables I feel impact this and makes it hard to compare doing this in other countries are; 1) Norway has a strong culture of being reasonable and non-conflicting. My theory on that is it comes from being stuck indoors so much with each other...but for whatever reason, it is the case. 2) Norway has had this system a long time. So when you take a job this information is available to you, not suddenly after years at a company. The latter could more easily cause issues I feel. So while this does not create issues from what I saw in Norway, I dont think its fair to lift and shift that view to other countries.
