One of my friends works at a technology-adjacent (i.e., technology enabled, but not technology-focused) company that was recently acquired by a Korean chaebol. They put in place a Korean-American country manager who was aghast at how much vacation time and public holidays Europeans have. The rift between the US and Europe is already sizable, but we’re talking major culture shock here. Anecdotally, he was also a bit amazed when people started leaving the office before nightfall.
