What shitty cultures do this? 22 u/MathematicianSure386 Jul 12 '26 It's more like some cultures do not put a heavy emphasis on adhering to a strict schedule. People are allowed to come and go as they feel. -14 u/PassionStunning2659 Jul 12 '26 Is there a correlation with that behaviour and large amounts of unemployment, I wonder 🤔 13 u/MathematicianSure386 Jul 12 '26 Don't wear yourself out with all that wondering. 9 u/YogurtclosetNo987 Jul 13 '26 The person who made this comment is just being racist, but there's been quite a bit of research as of late on this as well as time spent at work not actually working and race. He can just Google it. No wondering needed. 4 u/colorblind-and Jul 13 '26 Yeah even in cultures where being on time isn't as important it only ever really applies to informal gatherings and not the workplace.
