We have a Labor Law that protects employees. Work here is not perceived as an ultimate goal in life, and someone who is a hard worker is seen just as that: a hard worker. Not some kind of saint. We like to works, this brings all kind of advantages in everyday life, but this is not at all driven by a puritan culture - rather like something you get to like because you meet people and so on. We earn less, but also take less to the grave.
