You have managed to be both the stupidest bítch here - and with @Procus and new blood @It Hurts as competition that's a mantle you can be proud of - while also being stuck in norms old enough to collect social security. I mean, ghey blade? That's quite a pull from last millennium. Congratulations on being so ridiculous that only and old **** like myself can even begin to appreciate how completely irrelevant you are. Well done. I look forward to not reading your posts for another year until I'm as dumb as drunk as you on a meaningless Sunday to respond.
January 6, 20251 yr I'm surprised. Sweden seems like it would be the kind of place that has random goofy holidays, like celebrating the patron saint of herring

Having said that, any C-level person worth their paycheck should be putting in time more or less every day even while on vacation. I know some over here that don't do that but they suck

It's pathetic, and emblematic of why the EU is not a real global financial player. When it is someone in France, they are gone all friggin summer.

My experience with people from other places outside of France has been a mixed bag but plenty that do keep up.

I remember meeting a couple of parents in their late 20s or early 30s who left their kid(s) with grandma and were on a 6-week holiday in Europe. no way either of the grandmas would have done that for us

The Brits are solid, French and Spanish are exactly what the stereotype says they are, Central Europeans/Germanics/Nordics are usually available during "work hours” but the problem is finance isn’t a 9-5.

Yes, I'll include the Spanish in with the French. The Brits are solid as you say. The others are a mixed back in my personal anecdotal experience.
