>Japan and Germany stereotyped as hard working
>gets beat out by the Italians :^)
Italy superpower when?

Because to Germans work means work, not fucking around on social media. They have an admirable devotion to efficiency. It's a shame they're undergoing cultural suicide.

Because we're not all that materialistic.

labour productivity

On average germans have a different forma mentis regarding work

Greece is too high, this is bullshit data

SAGE

well if i leave for work i will work for 9 hours with a 30 minute break. and not fucking around. think this is all

..israel

>kikes
>hardworking

>sandniggers
>hardworking

well for one its the most populated European country. Every other euro country has scandinavian tier population. This gives them more workers to pool into companies that makes Germany money.

We have a work oriented lifestyle. People define themselves by their work and identify themselves with their workplace. Of course they are giving a lot into it.

Cultural enrichment

There is a difference between working and merely being present.

i'd bet on less overtime and more part time jobs

>Why is Germany so successful in spite of least working hours?
Dying population, on the short term it solve every social and economic issues you can have.

Germany has a new "working poor" class stuck with part time jobs barely making ends meet and relying on welfare to get by.

time spent at the workplace ≠ working hours

they work efficently and well? We are so high upthere because working hours are nightmare and everyone is lazy so it this data doesnt really prove shit

This. I worked in Frankfurt for a while. When a German enters the office. He will get some coffee. You won't hear him for 4 hours until it's lunch time at exactly 12:00 sharp. At 12:30 he will work for another 5 hours, not 4 because he doesn't like to waste time in traffic, so he does a little overtime. They are like machines.

You know this is mostly a measure of how many people work part time?

In Germany and the Netherlands it's very common for women who gave birth to only work half time for a few years.

Germans don't dick around with coworkers

No BS chats at the water cooler
No talking bout somebody has a case of the Mondays?

Productive workers, intelligent workers.

More importantly, why is a 3rd world country with some of the happiest, healthiest and longest living people in the world, Costa Rica, able to work more than everyone BUT mexico and get off being so chilled. IS PURA VIDA THE ULTIMATE RED PILL?

Could you say they are Master race employees?

but where is China?

Efficiency user Germans go to work and fucking work. A German series like the office wouldn't be watchable Cos everybody would be doing their job instead of being a bunch of faggots.

Kek confirms

Checked.

/thread
Greece etc log working hrs during which they do god knows what, then complain why their countries are shit

In the US, most white collar workers and execs never stop working. They respond to emails all day, take calls, organize events wirh clients. This doesnt count towards supposed working hours. When I lived in Japan, and when I lived in Britain, I found a similar culture. In France however, they have a signifigantly more leisurely lifestyle.

Do Austrians have the same work culture?

I have two bosses an italian and a german
The german one is kind of autistic but he actually does things
The italian talks alot of bs, im not sure what he does exactly, but it seems to involve "cutting costs" by cancelling all our raw materials

At a certain point, you should probably question how that data was collected. Mexico, more hardworking than Korea? Greece and Portugal more hardworking than Japan? It just doesn't seem right.

Mostly, yes. You can tell plumbing done by an Austrian from that of a Pole from afar

I aim to be the example, cause fuck the rest.

Because they abuse the rest of the EU?

>tfw when you have a 35 hour work week, free health care, paid overtime, 35 days of vacation and a permanent work contract

quality > quantity
Basically, we actually work when we work not like greeks who take a break every five minutes and then whine about the coffee

because the allies ensured german economic success and poured money into them post-ww2 to stop them from chimping out again like they did in the 1930s

they did exactly the same thing in japan

and by "the allies" i mean america

You can either wörk, or you can "wörk". Also remember that we have a lot of Kurzarbeit since the economic crisis, that brings down the average.

The graph is a measure of hours on the job a year, not productivity.

>Germans known for being the hardest workers
>work less than everyone
>Greeks known for being lazy
>work more than everyone
How

Pretty much britbongs payed how much taxes to european union German politicians that eventually goes back into Germany. Krauts are sneaky and it is not as obvious as Jews.

Fucking 35 days vacation are you serious? You would be the best country on earth if you didn't have so many shitskins and niggers

jesus. the mental gymnastics.

Hours of work does not equal quality of work.
It also does not mean the hours they clocked had any bearing.

>The italian talks alot of bs, im not sure what he does exactly, but it seems to involve "cutting costs" by cancelling all our raw materials
Kek, ask him if he has relatives in the mafia

I can second this, doing my PhD in Physics so having some non German master and phd students is rather normal. Fkn lmao at their work ethic. The Germans come in, work their ass off, prefer to cut their lunch break short to 30min to get home earlier for other life activities, basically working all the time. After 8-9 hours they fuck off home exhausted.

The non German students usually sit around, barely even know wtf they are doing all day long and sit around long hours, sometimes 11 or 12 hours a day... and barely complete the same amount of work I do in 8 hours. It's as if they have nothing else to do.

The worst thing for a German in his work ethic is doing "face time" at work, i.e. sitting around doing nothing productive.

So far we had people from the US, Ukraine, Japan, China, South Korea, Italy, France and Austria and literally everyone was below expectations. The Austrian and US guy were somewhat ok, but the rest just spend too much time while doing nothing. It's as if they live in a tent somewhere and don't want to go home so instead they sit around at work all day.

Multiply hours worked times average IQ and you get productivity.

>poured money into them
We got a lot less from the marshal plan than you and it was not very much compared to what we made during the korea crisis alone.
Try having more than just banks in your next life.

When your country has such a tiny populus and a huge amount of oil. So they pay you to sit at home.

the lawful minimum amount is 24 days per year. Average is about 27 I think. But some companies actually value their employees.

Now you know why the others needed to destroy Germany twice. Imagine a "German only Germany" with pre WW1 borders and current population density. We would have a 120-130 million population rivaling the economic strength of the US with 350 million people. The white man is just that superior to importing niggers.

Because they drink piss. Piss is full of pheromones that activate specific behavioral instincts which boost your productivity.

Drinking piss = $$$

That is not that much. In norway one can expect around 54 days.

I don't get it. When you're at work, how could you so something other than work? I mean wouldn't your coworker and boss notice and see that you're lazy? You can talk during your break, that's what it's for (besides eating).

Because a relaxed worker doesn't wear down so quickly.

Feierabend is really important to us

I know rite.

work smart not hard, thats the key.

Productivity. When (west) Europeans work, they fucking work. Then they slack off.

I've noticed burgers spend crazy hours at work, but most of that time is them talking about the meetings they plan to have.

>5.5hours work every work day

yeah, no, sorry.

I personally do mediocre work because doing mediocre work is the most surefire way to be promoted to middle and/or upper management.

If you're too shit at your job, you get fired. If you're too good at your job, you end up in the same position with mild salary raises for the rest of your career. You should only really start doing your best work when you could be happy with your current position and salary for the rest of your life.

they have least working hours because they're successful, not the other way around

Cerntainly not all Germans. I can safely say that I am nothing like that.

Because plenty of womyn do not want to really work and are working part-time only (their "hobby").

I just went through last year and I'm on Greece-level. Some years ago I worked way more, had around 1000 hours overtime in the end.

Geh wieder zurück in dein sicheres Herkunftsland.

...

I wonder if Mexicans count their siestas as billable hours.

Also, as an excuse for theirs and Greece's culture: tropic/ sub-tropic areas mean less productiveness, more mistakes, more danger, etc during the middle of day b/c of extreme heat.
>assuming the graph isn't only about an air conditioned office worker

Real Germans have work ethic. Have you ever noticed your dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin? Your inability to control your impulse around women if they're wearing anything less than a sleeping bag with eye holes cut in?

Yeah, but you are socialists.

it's 100% this.
I don't even know if you niggers bringing up race are doing it ironicly.
This is very much related to culture. I can say that people here just delay tasks for quite a bit.Honestly I can't explain why that "drag" is.

Germans do not lie about their hours. When they work they ACTUALLY work.

that sounds like it includes taking vaction days for weekends?

in germany: taking one week off reduces your remaining vacation days by 5 - not 7.
is that the same in norway? if yes, 54 is amazing. too bad we dont have any oil.

This is also correct.

Bolivians here work 15 minutes and need a break in the construction area.

>lazy germans propagate the myth of german efficiency so they can use the euro to jew money out of the hard working countries of europe
disgusting.

Automation.

Being motivated to work harder in those less hours knowing you're gonna get a nice break soon is a lot nicer and more encouraging than knowing that you have to slog on doing the same shit over on autopilot with no break. I lived in America before and would sometimes work 12 hour rotating shifts and I didn't even want to be alive anymore let alone try to do a good job. Now I work 35 hours a week and get 30 holidays a year and I am way more productive but I still wish we had fewer hours and more money.

this desu

i know so many ppl workin 50-60 hours a week. some of those dont even make decent money. others love their work and seem to hate their life anyway.

why does the mediocre worker get promoted instead of the hard working?

It is called efficiency or E=W/t
the more work you can do within a time limit the more efficient you will be

Because the hard working are efficient in the work they are doing so no need to promote.

Same as Danes and the Dutch: effectivity at work

Less hours means better rested employees that have more drive and think better and work better.

And when we get off we spend time with families and friends and get retardedly drunk or high on the weekends

because we actually work at work

1. Because management is about dealing with people so the skills you are looking for arent the hard workers
2. Hard workers dont kiss ass as much

Because they produce high added value goods, like technology and engineering. An hour of a German is worth 3 of mine.

American here that can confirm that. Our culture is way too influenced by the Southern Italian work ethic.

They control the EU

WE IZ WORKERS N SHIET

Because you want the hard worker working their ass doing the same difficult role. While the mediocre one you want them to do multiple things. Jobs in the US the more roles you take and learn in the workplace the more favorably you are to employers and job application. Working hard not really sign you are intelligent more like expendable.

Lol that bay looks like he has one too many chromosomes.

Fucking disgusting. Your cultureless, valueless shithole needs to die already.

beautifully written

It makes sense.
Management doesnt do anything except try to get others to do their work, so if you want to promote somebody, its the guy that does nothing himself but gets other people to

its not
its just rest fo socialist europe is so pathetic as well
germany would be 10th from bottom of 50 states if it joined usa, and germany owes usa trillions in military money

Here's how it usually works in the private sector:

>Work hard and finish workloads quickly and efficiently
>Boss sees this
>"Hm, clearly I'm not giving user enough work to do!"
>Result: You now have twice the workload while gaining no more extra pay or respect than Slacky McSlackoffFace

Never ever start a new job and give 100% from your first day on.

Because if you're hard workingyou become too valuable to promote. By doing good work, you make management look good. If you get promoted, they'd have to find someone else, who may not be as good.

Whole weeks yes

Thats silly because you can just quit
It has everything to do with politics, in a corporation, the most important skill is KISSING ASS, everything else is secondary

today (8hours work) i moved around 1.3tons of steel with my bare hands (lots of steel pipes) to the second floor.

what have greece done today?
