So... The countries that live under the umbrella of US defense and US taxpayers have the most time off...

Just wait until those Muslims start raping your women and beheading your sons... Oh wait...

The self-unaware suicide of the western world.

“While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”

BS!

All in Europe except Abu Dahbi.

Did Klaus and the WEF make this up?

So US cities don’t offer enough goof-off time (paid holidays)? That’s barking up the wrong tree. I will admit that too many US cities have accepted too much violence and lawlessness, especially in the Biden years. Are European cities so far behind?

Small town America has a lot to offer, IMO, but then I’m retired. The same probably applies in Europe. Do Europeans still have to queue up for the loo?

The diagram is misleading...the USA gives unlimited paid vacation, free medical care, free housing, free food as long as you check the right boxes. And best of all, you don’t really even have to work.

This list is crap. They don’t measure the best “work-life” balance, they’re measuring the best “life” balance with maybe some work thrown in.

I can guarantee this so-called analysis didn’t take into account any real measures of work balance - what are these cities’/countries’ measureable outputs? Are they actually producing more income/output compared to hours worked? Sure, Abu Dhabi might be high on this list, but that’s just old money investment and easy oil, not much real production. How much RnD do these cities/countries actually come out with?

Crappy work ethic does not mean you have a good work-life balance, it just means its probably overtilted towards the life half.

This notion of “work life balance” started cropping up in job interviews right around 10 years ago. At first it meant “I want three weeks of paid vacation.” Now it means that, plus “I want to work from home whenever the mood strikes me.”

This puzzled the boomers who ran the company, including myself. At first, we tried to humor them, but now if someone blurts that out during an interview, it’s a hard pass. They can go pretend to work somewhere else, and find their karmic bliss or whatever it is that they’re seeking at someone else’s expense.

And one other thing. The tic of using “around”, as in “boundaries around work”, rather than “policies at work”, or “work requirements” or other more direct phrases is a red flag as well. It’s imprecise, and downright lazy. Plus it sounds weird to most boomer’s ears.
