Which countries have a general attitude of gratefulness and appreciation in that sense? I especially mean about work/career/business rather than personal life.

    So many people saying US. I’ve worked, as a Canadian, for US companies. Americans are kinda assholes, tbh. The Canadian arms were superior in terms of employee appreciation.

    America Canada Australia Japan South Korea China Germany

    These seven will comfortably outpace and outlap everyone on this front.

      IMO, Germany shouldn’t be on that list. People are not used to praise. That cultural aspect is totally different. Coming from a South American country that praises to the bare minimum, that was a cultural shock. Here, you’re expected to do your work, and that’s it. If nobody tells you something (good or bad), you’re more than good. Of course, I’m talking from my experience, but I’ve heard the same situation from different expats.

      China lol. You must know very little about the place.

      China views work and workers as disposable and fungible commodities. Workers are given no rights and any self-initiative is frowned upon culturally as workers are expected to be instruments used for the whims of the all-powerful boss. If you do any normal job, your work won’t be “appreciated”.

      If you own a company on the other hand, sure. For example you won’t need to follow any of the laws and so you can also dodge taxes.

    Another vote for the US - boss always told me continuously how appreciated I was and gave me performance based bonuses.

    Finland.

    Not financially appreciated as in it gets you big salaries and bonuses, but you’re left to do your job. You get the responsibility that comes with the tasks. Management is leading, but you’re the one “in charge” of what you do. Your boss trust you to know what you are doing. I think that’s a very important form of appreciation of your talent.

    Everyone says the US, while Americans are running away from the US cuz they don’t want their kids to get shot and inflation is so high. I’m american and my wife and I are waiting for my wife’s green card and we’re living outside the US and feels like we’re trying to get a ticket to the titanic.

    So long story short, money and work only matter so much. If u don’t mind living somewhere that’s essentially a warzone (the whole country) where you can get arrested for trying to go save your child in a school under attack by some pissed off gunman, then go ahead, go to america. We live in turkey, we don’t have to worry about any of these things but we’re worried that we’ll have to go back to that…

        Who’s looking at Twitter? My parents live in Iowa and have been near 2 mass shootings and were extremely near the shooting at the mall in Dallas when visiting family, and the schools in Iowa have been getting bomb threats and shooting threats (and hit lists being posted online that make the schools close for 2 days and the students not being allowed to take any backpacks or purses to the school) for the elementary schools, as well as hearing about shootings almost every week at the University of Illinois at Champaign-urbana from my friends that take classes there…so again, who needs Twitter?
