IIRC Mexico and Chile has the highest average workhours per year in the OECD. I remember once arguing with a guy at work about “protestant work-ethic” being a myth and showed him the graph. He’s quite the neoliberal, so he puts a lot of stock in graphs compiled by NGOs, so after a while I finally shut him up.
Sorry if my post was unclear, but yes. Mexico and Chile are both extremly catholic countries, while my part of Scandinavia is extremely protestant and we famously work 37 hours every week and not a second more.
Protestant work ethic is just being at work all the time so you don’t have to see your family that hates you and you hate. Nothing to do with actual productivity lmao
jesus christ, the fact they weren’t already there. 5 days of work is bad enough, but 1 solitary day of leisure is hell
