In my experience, some of the most exceptionally skilled and hard working people are from the US, but the average US worker is way behind in skills from almost every other part of the world, and pretty far behind Asia and parts of Latin America in terms of work ethic. They've still got a lot of Europe beat in terms of work ethic though, but from my perspective, that's not necessarily a good thing.
- Doxin 3y agoI feel like a lot of people are conflating "work ethic" with "works a lot". Sure EU workers tend to work less than US workers, but I'd be very surprised if their work ethic during work hours is any worse.
- namaria 3y ago"work" ethics or any other kind doesn't exist in a sliding scale. Germans and Nordics in Europe typically work fewer hours then others but have much higher output per hour. If you're using "work ethics" as euphemism for "keeps outwardly busy" you're just supporting drudgery.
