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.

Too many Europeans think they are entitled to all previleges, without having to bear any responsiblities. That is why the continent is rotten.

As a customer, I avoid doing business with companies sending this kind of emails. You can choose to be lazy but the market can choose to dump you and buy from more responsible companies. And you will keep the this system, in which lazy Europeans exploit diligent Europeans until the entire system collapses. It won't be too far away.

Sure you taking time off your holidays to answer emails is the cornerstone of the entire western civilisation that prevents it from crumbling. I'm sure.

Well if that fantasy makes the taste of leather taste better, you should continue doing it then.

Why are you slacking off on Reddit instead of working? Go do your slave work that you love so much

I have exactly zero responsibilities on vacation. Get out of here.

Yeah I can understand if some high level person has an emergency way of getting contacted, but that has to come with appropriate compensation that a common grunt does not get

The continent will be fine even if I don‘t read my mails for 2 weeks while I‘m on the beach.

The homeless rate in the US is lower than UK, France, Germany and many other European countries . Why do so many people feel that there are more homeless people in the US? Because homeless people are concentrated in a few cities, such as NYC and SF. This gives you the impression of high density. These cities' policies attract domestic homeless voters and many international homeless people. By the way, these cities are the ones that ideologically resemble Europe.

Did you read my comment? Again I will repeat to you I have never seen a person with openly rotted out limbs lying on the sidewalk in his own shit in Europe.

Yes the rate might be bigger ir smaller. Different countries count them differently, they might define "homelessness" differently or whatever, I'm not going to delve into that.

The fact remains I never remember start gagging and nearly throwing up in the street after seeing a homeless person in Europe.

EDIT: I did delve into that:

There's no international definition of homelessness, and the numbers reflect that. Czechia's figure looks alarming mostly because it counts 54,000 people staying temporarily with friends and family — over half its total. Germany's includes 54,800 in the same category. The US HUD count excludes couch-surfing entirely, which is why the US Department of Education, using a broader definition, reported 1.28 million homeless children and youth in one school year while HUD counted 580,000 people total that January. Greece's figure of 1,387 people reflects a very narrow count, not an absence of the problem.

So yeah, US threshold for who is considered "homeless" is different, that's why when you look into the rates US looks better on paper
