Some poll said that the US employee worked much harder than their EU counterpart. Of course, that was pre-pandemic. Thanks to the pandemic shutdown, US workers have learned that they can get by with less and want a better lifestyle, to boot. Hence, employers, still stuck in their old school rules (see above), are struggling to get staff. This might signal a worker revolt and even a resurgence of unionism.
There’s a whole series of those posters called the “Demotivational Series.” “Leaders are like eagles. We don’t have either around here.” “Retirement: When the company has used you all up.”
Then, of course, there is the other extreme, sit around stuffing yourself with unhealthy food, that unfortunately can also lead to early death. I’m sure moderation is the secret….maybe.

Love the banana logo on the laptop. Are they cheaper if you buy them by the bunch?

That IS the obvious secret to an early death……

True enough: the “work ethic” is the “heart attack ethic”!
As Aristotle would have it, All Things in Moderation….
