As a Scandinavian who moved to the US, my impressions from my limited personal experience is that

- Swedes do clock out after 8 hours, but they work all that time.

- Americans can spend a lot more time at work, but there is a lot of "just hanging out" going on.

I have heard this exact statement from multiple Swedes. I have seen them goof off just like their American counterparts.

This was the Stockholm office, but the foreigners (especially the English) absolutely had an impact haha.
