There is also the different attitude to overtime in Europe. In East Asia, friends work overtime to show they’re making an effort. The boss expects it. In Europe, structurally working overtime might make people question if you can actually handle your job.

Australians also work a lot of overtime. unsure what the attitude is though. probably closer to East Asia I'd say. The Europe approach sounds healthier.
