No, you're not. Also, Europe is large and diverse. Source: European.
- cocochanel 8y agoSeconded from another European. HN and Reddit are big chunks of the work day. Heck, people even watch YouTube.
- drilldrive 8y agoMost people unfortunately refer to Europe when they mean north-west Europe or even the Nordic countries alone.
- seppin 8y agoYes sorry I was being sloppy with language, I was describing northern/Germanic Europe. Southern Europe has their own rules
- balfirevic 8y agoI still find it hard to believe that it's universal across all or even most companies in (for example) Germany. Do software shops there not have Playstation/table tennis/table football or whatever that people use to take a break during working hours?
- disgruntledphd2 8y agoThe GP is right about Germany, at least. Probably not right about Ireland or the UK though. Can't speak for any other European countries.
