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...

How do you beat traffic if everyone does it?

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

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.

[-] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.

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. :)
