Yes, many places are willing to have lower productivity in exchange for higher quality of life. The US has a different culture and has most economically dominant companies.
- africanboy 6y agoI think it's the opposite, productivity is the GDP output over worked hours, in USA they work a lot more than in Europe on average, so their productivity is actually similar, not higher. More hours = more productivity it's a myth https://time.com/4621185/worker-productivity-countries/ https://time.com/4621185/worker-productivity-countries/
- emodendroket 6y agoDon't know that you can really make a meaningful comparison given the political and military dominance of the United States.
- rualca 6y ago> The US has a different culture and has most economically dominant companies. The US's post-WW2 dominance doesn't explain why layers of lower management from the US stationed abroad insist in scheduling 3 weeks worth of work into 1 week in spite of being fully aware of how long the task takes, and afterwards boast to their leadership that their non-US teams outperformed US-based teams by a long shot while leaving out that team some non-US developers had to pull consecutive all-nighters to pull it off.
