If you are aspiring to be “average” in any endeavor or to emulate the Europeans, not only will you never amount to anything of substance but you were raised wrong. Average is only useful as a yardstick for what the other guy is doing so you can do more to beat his ass.
This is why quotas, affirmative action hires, and race/sex-based anything grinds my gears to no end. Meritocracy, ability, and effort are the only things that should determine success. Life has always been a competition, and to the victor goes the spoils. What’s that old line from Top Gun,”And for second place you get a plague put up in the lady’s room”?

I don’t know nuttin’ ’bout working for the weekend, I work those too. I have the hour commute of Germany and the overtime of Saudi Arabia as well.
But they left out the part where all of Europe goes on vacation at the same time, in August. Make sure you get anything you can’t live without from Europe before then or you’re going to be leaving a LOT of voicemails to funny numbers that won’t get picked up ’till it gets cold.

I worked for a company for about the last 40 years.
It was nothing for us to put in 60 hour weeks when i was youngish.
Yes we made money and were content.
I retired several years ago,but guess what,yes i get text messages asking me to come in and straighten shit out.
I like it because retirement can be boring.
