    I leave at 3 pm on office days to beat traffic. Everyone does that. What is this 5 pm thing he talks about? Must be America…

    • When I worked in healthcare there were days where I clocked in at 7am and was forced to keep working until 11pm without any lunch or dinner break. Worker rights in the US are almost completely non-existent and the way some workers get treated is hellish

        The US values company profits over all else. It’s different in Europe because we have legal protections.

            Yeah I agree. I will never be filthy rich but I will also never be very stressed out or risk ending up on the street. It’s a fair deal. :)

        I knew someone would see the logical flaw here… :)

      I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

      The bus to the office was always empty.

      The bus home was always packed.

      Now I work from home
