In many cases taking that job means accepting you may be forced to come in and work. Often called 'unlimited liability' for example. If you can't accept that, then leave the job to someone who can.

In this case apparently it's fine for it to stop with a dead person.

People that do a job where they can save lives accept the fact that saving lives is not granted.

People don't die because someone is slacking.

Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

Not sure where you read this argument?

[notreallytrue]

That's a terrible apology...

Free time is a right

If someone dies during your free time it's not your responsibility

Besides: US have the worst life expectation of the whole west.

You should ask yourself why.

> That's a terrible apology...

I'm not apologising for anything. I never said anything about 'slacking'? Just confused where you got this idea.

> If someone dies during your free time it's not your responsibility

This isn't reality - look at how people criticise presidents who are golfing during a national crisis where people are dying.

> US have the worst life expectation of the whole west

This article is about the EU isn't it? What's the US got to do with it?

> You should ask yourself why.

I don't know why the US does anything. Why do I need to explain it?

> ook at how people criticise presidents who are golfing during a national crisis where people are dying

Isn't the job of a president to handle crisis?

The job of a doctor is not to prevent any death, just those that they can prevent during their work hours.

> What's the US got to do with it?

Because they are the champions of working non stop and yet their results when it really matters (you brought up saving lives) are worse than anybody else

Do you think he stops handling the crisis at 5pm? No? Why do you think not?
