It's a more grown-up arrangement where businesses realise that regular time off (and as much time as you need if ill) increases happiness and therefore productivity.
I still miss the food at home, though.

still, weirdly enough, i think that overall work life balance and quality of life is much better in europe than in places like sydney. i think that this is actually because australia has turned into a nanny state in almost every other segment of life. europe in this regard treats its inhabitants as adults much moreso than australia
> still miss the food at home
in europe? im actually the opposite. i miss the great variety of great restaurants in sydney and melbourne
Yeah that's what I mean - harder to get good east Asian and Middle Eastern in Europe - although there's more African food here (Europe) than straya.
Pretty much yeah. Austria (the Mozart one, not the kangaroo one) has in general pretty terrible workers' rights and benefits compared to most other wealthy EU countries, unless you work for some government institution or some big and wealthy Metall unionized company.
Sure, it looks good on paper from the outside, but in practice it's not that great, it's just good PR.
Is there a metric of some sort that I can share with other people that demonstrates 4 weeks PTO does work and has led to increased productivity in Australia?
I personally believe in shorter work weeks, but my experience is anecdotal, so was wondering if there was a study or some kind of economic metric that reflects that statement for increased productivity in AU.
Zero local innovation, and the relatively healthy economy is mostly due to exporting stuff to Asia (education, tourism, and resources).
Productivity can be measured and if that productivity was increased then those statistics should be more visible!
I would love to have a 4-day work week.
