This must have been a very special place. Most people I know in Germany work from 9-5 maybe and then go straight home.

Similar from my experience with family working in a Germany. Cellphone corporate email disabled after 7pm at one firm IIRC.

The crazy thing is French gdp per capita (measured hourly) growth was cited to be higher than America’s in this book by Mitt Romney’s partner at Bain. Aka, hustle porn measures hustle not output. The French just work 1700 hours a year versus the Americans who skewed up towards 2100.
