Australian employees now have the right to ignore work emails, calls after hours

Look at how dominant the USA is compared to the europeans who love to make fun of us for working so hard. The USA is about to be flung into another golden century due to its dominance in GenAI. Frogs/the EU will be too busy eating caiver served by rude waiters to realize that huggingface and mistral are all they have to compete with us. Eventually they won't be able to afford the caiver anymore. You laugh, but look at how the UK economy is doing. That's the future of Europe.

Yeah it sucks to have a bad wlb work culture, but the alternative is losing what makes America so awesome.

And that's the confirmation. But given how emotional your response is I guess there is something personal to it so I won't push it.

I'm just curious as to why did you make a distinction between France and Europe.

I’m not disagreeing with you but are you directly benefiting from the US’s “dominance”?

The way I see it, unless you’re in the top say 5-10% of tech workers you probably aren’t seeing great benefit from the US’s leads in anything. And anyone outside of that is seeing their general QoL being slowly degraded by ever higher prices and an ever weaker government (due to monopolization).

You're not reaping the benefits of that “hard work”, executives do.
