EP65: "Work to Live" or "Live to Work"?

When it comes to adulting, one thing is inevitable - we have to work. Whether you have a 9-5, do shiftwork, or are self-employed, we all have our own ways of financing our lives. While it is something so fundamental to modern society, there are many differences between how work is seen in the U.S. and Germany. A common saying is “In Germany, one works to live while in the U.S. one lives to work” - but is that true? In this week’s episode, we talk about our work experiences in both countries, what stereotypes exist in the work world, and even the physical environments we work in. Whether you’re currently in a “Großraumbüro”, in a cubicle, or just enjoying the podcast in your free time we hope you enjoy this week's episode and make sure to let us know your thoughts on this topic too!
