    My German roomie would get a kick out of Sweden and Germany being side by side. Anecdotal of course but I don’t think he’d agree.

    For starters, he hasn’t been almost killed at his job here in Sweden, even though truck driver is probably a more dangerous job than his old office job. No flying saw blades here.

      Germans are notoriously grumpy so we’ll always be at the bottom at anything that tries to measure happiness.

        To be fair though, Germany seems like a miserable place to work. Outdated tech, weird social hierarchies, expected overtime, free labour by exploiting students.

          Your experience in Germany doesn’t really seem typical. And social hierarchies will appear weird in any foreign country.
