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...

piskertariot @lemmy.world 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

The US values company profits over all else. It's different in Europe because we have legal protections.
2 0 ReplySauerkraut @discuss.tchncs.de 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. :)
