Very eastern end Austrian here:

Working from 7:30am to 5pm. Cannot understand the German work ethic and the often seen German workaholics.

You work to live, you do not live to work!

I’ve been working in Germany for a decade and I’ve unfortunately never witnessed this so called German work ethic.

I do hear about it a lot specially when talking about my home country and ironically during coffee breaks.

I hear that a lot whenever I'm holidaying in Greece. I totally agree with it. :-)
