America's Overwork Obsession
Added 2020-08-04 17:11:50 +0000 UTCHowdy, friends! This week's episode is all about the American obsession with work. The desire to accumulate more wealth is so ingrained in the American psyche that we're not even aware that our work/life balance is one of the worst in the entire world. Hope you enjoy!

2020-08-07 02:43:33 +0000 UTCYou get taken aside for some kind of performance evaluation and get told you're on thin ice. It's not very incredible when you consider the cost of taking that little time off is you might get fired and your family gets put on the meager food stamp program we have.

2020-08-05 17:44:57 +0000 UTCI always find it incredible that American's don't automatically get entitled to sick pay of some kind and generally don't take their full holiday allowance

2020-08-04 21:52:58 +0000 UTCI just posted a comment on the YouTube video itself, and it got me thinking: it could be great to have a video about how unions in the US went from powerful to virtually non-existent because of systemic lobbying. And I might be wrong and shortsighted here, which is why a well researched video about this topic would be amazing :). It could be sort of like a sequel to this one, actually.
2020-08-04 19:16:35 +0000 UTCWent through 2 cars. My wife is a respiratory therapist and works per diem. She doesn't believe in a 40 hr work week. I think she's right.

2020-08-04 18:20:20 +0000 UTCI once held a job that had a 2.5 hour round trip on top of the 9 hour day of work.
2020-08-04 18:14:18 +0000 UTCI’m not from America and my jaw dropped looking at these horrific stats. I mean...I didn’t have high expectations to begin with but this is just too shocking and depressing.
