The biggest culture shock came when I entered the workforce.
It’s well-documented that the American office culture is pretty different to the way we work in the UK, in part fuelled by the notion of the American dream, that unwavering belief that anyone can be successful if they’re determined and willing to work hard.
And it seems that an all-work-and-no-play mentality has bred a workplace underpinned by a sense of fear that you’re never quite working hard enough.
And nowhere is this quite as obvious – to me at least – as Americans’ attitudes toward vacation days.
