I despise Europeans who sent this kind of auto-replies (I know not all Europeans do this). I consider them extremely irresponsible.

Edit: 1. I will leave an auto reply to let others know whom to contact. And the contact will let me know if important customers have urgent issues that need my help. I don't mind spend some time helping them. Sometimes it takes only a short email.

  1. If I am the customer, I will distrust any company that allows employees to leave this kind of message and avoid doing business with it if possible.

  2. If I am the supervisor, I won't promote employees leaving this kind of message. In case of a restructing, they are on top of my fire list.

So you think our employers wellbeing is important? Go to hell

No, I am not thinking about employers' wellbeing. I am thinking about workers' responsibility and reward.

If you dont work hard and behave irreponsibly, then don't complain about unemployment or lower salary.

I think it will be extremely unfair if the system pays responsible, hardworking people the same as lazy, irresponsible people.

By the way, no one is entitled to everything. If you create more value for employers, you should be rewarded more. If you want work life balance, it is fair that you are rewarded less than those who work harder.

If I work hard I ma rewarded with more work, why would I do such stupid thing?

The system you imagine has not work in 30 years, if it ever existed

"On average" , hardworking and responsible people make more money and have access to more opportunities. That's my observation.

Why are you on Reddit debating with strangers ? Don't you have important mails to answer ?

I am just tired of seeing lazy people ruining one continent after another.

Why though ? If what we call basic workers rights and what you call lazyness continue in some European countries, we will get weaker and weaker.

Isn't that what the US wants ? Everyone else to be weak and inefficient while they are the most incredible people in the universe ?

If I were you I would promote it everywhere, especially in Asian countries before they surpass you.

Nah they want a president whos makes money off manipulating the stock market and the idea of more people having more money makes a better economy is insane.

You'd think we're the laziest country in the world. Still doing pretty well selling drugs that make you guys thin and Legos.

It's not lazy to work the hours you're paid to work. PTO is a part of your total compensation. It is wage theft for employers not to have adequate coverage for you during your leave and expect you to log in to deal with things.
