This is such a US thing…
nah, a lot of people are miserable at their jobs all over the world. Just because there might be a decent social system that could tide them over should they lose that job doesn't mean they'll just quit
I think they mean the "working at a non-essential job on Christmas Day" part. Or the no extra pay part.
oh yeah forgot about the title, that shit will NOT fly in europe at least
I disagree. I'm from Europe and it would fly definetly, at least in the eastern part.
I actually just meant the "act positive" part. It's super weird how every worker in the US is forced to be insanely fake friendly, while here, people are just… normal and don't hide their true emotions. I mean sure, people still try to be nice and don't let their anger out on customers, but it's a huge difference to the absolute uncanny and forced fake friendliness (even when denying something) that's omnipresent in the US.
