In relation to someone who chose to and did spend only one minute of his life on recreation, that person was lazier than someone who lived as long and chose to spend every minute working hard. American companies in Europe are not as leanient as European companies. Supposedly people who had gone to America found that there was less free time there and have returned to Europe. European clockwatchers' working times per week are less than circa 46 hours, approximately four hours less than in Europe before the Second World War. People have been protesting in Europe against raising retirement age. A friend in Europe is about to retire at the youngest permissible age. Not all Europeans are the same. Someone I am acquainted with in one European country had a client which needed to outsource work because labor laws in another European country forbade forcing the employees of the client from doing enough work.
