The holidays are worth it from the pov of the employee I don’t disagree with that. Not from the point of view of a company trying to extract as much out of employees. I don’t think you’re more productive because you get more holidays on the contrary (I mean the domination of the US in tech should show that)
- Saline9515 3y agoIf that was true, Japan, China and South Korea would crush the US tech as they do often do the 996. In reality, domination of US tech is a mix of factors: - Easy access to the wealthiest market of the world, and a very large population. - Brain drain allowing to acquire the best talent from other countries. - Access to the american VC network that is the mosy liquid of the world. - You could also add a piggy backing on the US soft power which helps market products accross the world. Don't believe that all French work 35h - this rule is only in very large and, wealthy companies. Now most French graduates work 40 to 50h/week. And yeah, given the high rates of cancer and similar diseases that I see consultancies where my friends work, I'm not sure it's good for companies on the long run. It's more akin to "employee mining" that human ressource management.
- baby 3y agoI agree with your points, and I don’t think it voids my point. The Asian way is completely inefficient because it’s way past the trade off that the US made. It’s nothing like the US. The US is “bring your work home” and Asia is “bring home at work”
