I feel like a lot of people are conflating "work ethic" with "works a lot". Sure EU workers tend to work less than US workers, but I'd be very surprised if their work ethic during work hours is any worse.

"work" ethics or any other kind doesn't exist in a sliding scale. Germans and Nordics in Europe typically work fewer hours then others but have much higher output per hour. If you're using "work ethics" as euphemism for "keeps outwardly busy" you're just supporting drudgery.
