- StartupTree 7y agoSwedish resident here. Absolutely correct. 99% of "Sweden does" stories are absolute and total nonsense. Publishers publish what their audience want to read. No-one* uses this 6 month sabbatical for startup purposes.
- seppin 7y ago3 comments in support of what I said and -1 total votes, this website is broken. Anyways whatever Sweden's PR people are getting paid, it's not enough.
- jolts 7y ago100% Correct. Also you are still unpaid, all you get is job security. This is something im sure other companies would be cool with it if you are essential enough...
- alkonaut 7y agoThe 5 hour work week was an isolated thing reported as somehow a national change (i.e. BS). This might actually be true (that people are entitled to this) I guess, but you are correct that basically no one does.
- kzrdude 7y agoHeadlines are misinterpreted and the rumors travel far on the internet. I've also seen that "finland has UBI" being re-told as a story, and that's just from the trials that have been done in Finland. I'd say the onus is mostly on us, to read the articles and not the headlines to understand what they say. And be critical of what the articles say, too.
