How Finland Thinks Americans Work | Morning Brew 

Replace a million dollars with $11.75 and it's pretty accurate.

I laughed so hard that I cried. Then continued crying cause it was so accurate - save for the million dollars and Jeff Bezos tucking me in.

This made me laugh out loud! I saw a video about an electrician in the US, she gets up each workday at 3AM, gets a bus to work at 4am and starts work at 7am. I was so confused and horrified. She goes to bed at 9pm so only gets 6 hours of sleep a night. A very commendable hardworking woman but I'd have burn out after about a week if I had to live on 6 hours sleep and get up at 3am for work.

I'll never recover from that coffee kettle to mouth lol

This is accurate, jeff tucks me in every night after half my paycheck goes to him

Aside from the Jeff and 1million dollars that about right. 😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂 this made me burst into tears - yes we are ball and chained to our jobs. I had a boss tell me to schedule my personal lofe around my work calendar - i quit the next week

At 1st I was like "no this is all wrong" then I realized it isn't bc I am finnish living in America

This is remarkably accurate.

"we are ok with this, they are ok with this"... I feel called out xD. I'm def the "I'll just do it myself" person - not because the other person can't do it, but just because I can.

As an American, I'm genuinely impressed that you understand the cultural nuances of the American workday! And don't forget that during tax season we put the tax paperwork under the pillow

You forgot the pound of delicious bacon. I also sing “America the Beautiful” when I’m in the shower. With my guns.

This video is criminally under rated wow I had genuine laugh out loud moments to some of these lines, comedy genius!!!

….and these are just the lucky ones who work from home. For most americans, add an hour or two sitting in the traffic jam making zoom meeting calls from their cell phone while driving😵‍💫☺️ because they are running late for work.

I came to this video looking for answers as an American now working with Europeans. Getting tired of sending reminders and then doing all the work myself is the current situation. And, I do actually start work on Sunday, about 2 hours on Sunday evening to plan the week.

On Sunday, they go to church. On Monday, they do what you said in the video lol

I love the videos this guys makes,, he’s so funny😭

I work at a capital investments and advisory firm and the whole “say big numbers and make a million dollars” is true since that’s our minimum cost😂 But I don’t say the pledge every day..

Lmao, I'm an American and even I'm laughing

As an American, this is surprisingly accurate

I can't stop watching this and laughing.

Watched this after working an entire work day in the U.S. without so much as a lunchbreak! Your video made me laugh out loud--but it was completely accurate!😀

Squats at the desk is true

I DO sleep with a spreadsheet tucked under my pillow!

"Every fast food there is" Hahahaha!

Outside of the Sunday part, I approve this message.

Spot on!

Love it.... but the only thing correct for me is the 12 eggs and gallon of milk, then eating every fast food there is. And bed by 1 am.. pretty close 🤣🤣🤣

Nailed it

You forgot about the shootouts on the commute to the office.

True 🇺🇸🫶👏🤙

Maybe on a monday, but not a Sunday lol

That coffee cup…

Yes

Replace the coffee pot with a bigass thermal mug and you're all set.

*with Jeff Bezos tucking them in* I’ve never laughed so hard in my life!

Yep, step by step on point

😂😂 love it

I'm 1% Finnish.

I couldn't help but lol

any one got a link to the finland workday one? or his other video on this?

I laughed 😅 so hard at this video. Im a nurse in US . I work 3, 12hr shifts a week. I'm off for 4days a week 🙌😊

As an American this is very accurate

I start work at 5:30, but I also get double time for working sunday. That's a lot of motivation to work weekends

As an American, I was ready to watch and be one of those people in the comment section who criticizes the video, but luckily I realized it was a joke lol.

Legends say if you go above and beyond what's required and do an amazing job, the Business Fairy comes and rewards your hard work with more hard work. He takes the spreadsheet and replaces it with 500 more.

The rally accent needs some work 😂

As an American, this made me smile like an idiot 😂

I thought it was a time zone joke but I would also ask why Finnish people have not woken at 4:30am of an American time zone

This was so freaking funny!!!!!!😂😂🎉🎉

This is geniut❤😂

U forgot one thing: church 😂

You forgot the random and agressive yelling of "freedom!" But other then that its perfect

All true, except for the squats... everyone skips leg day

that is very funny

I've been doing it wrong. 😊

How else you could fit 2 jobs into one day?

True

Pretty good.

Take out the million dollars for "barely enough to survive if you're lucky" and youd be right.

Hahaha like Americans knew how to cook, give them a microwave breakfast or some snacks

Hilarious!

My dude….. have you been following me?

😂😂😂😂

Where is the original can’t find it anywhere! >.

Except we don't wear suits and ties any more, especially if we work from home. We just wear whatever is comfortable.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

3.5h sleep per night. Pretty accurate tbh

...FACT!👍

But don't they also have a second job, and a side-husstle? And they spend lots of time in their cars, stuck in traffic. (or is that just California? 🤔)

Close, except instead of milk for breakfast they drink coke.

😂😂😭

So funny! Makes a lot of sense, however unlikely!

I see no lies here

I can attest this is a 💯 accurate American work day. 😂

Considering 5am in east coast is 4pm in Finland the Finns must have had quite a day already to be asleep.

Where is the original??

lol

😂 try 2.36 an hr as a server… plus tips.. maybe no tips… maybe tip out 4% of sales… work holidays and weekends no family time. maybe one holiday off …

430 am wake up hygiene, coffee,mild cigar out the door by 530, arrive at 6am. Open yard up, check outbound loads, set work tasks for the day start loaders cranes and mags, air compressors, bring tools out, start crusher, begin receiving customers at 9am. 5PM shut down arrive to kids welcome & wifes questions shower, interact w kids wife have dinner , seek isolation but talk w kids more, hug wife again, seek isolation but falls asleep. Lol maybe

Sadly most Americans will be at church for hours as well on Sunday lol

Hilarious! Love Jeff Bezos tucking him in!

I get up at 4 am to get ready for a 12 hour shift starting at 6am. I work three days a week trying to reach the goal of processing 4500 items a day or get written up.... I don't eat during my work days. ┐⁠(⁠‘⁠～⁠`⁠;⁠)⁠┌

As an American, I can confirm that yes, we do get tucked into bed by Jeff bezos, however, we don't do squats, we just eat McDonald's and that's a good enough workout

Eh... Timezones?

I got your newspaper. I thought mroning brew was american not finnish

This isn’t accurate . We don’t all have little office jobs . And no one is waking up pleading the allegiance .

As an American, TF is my million dollars? 🤔

Accurate because Jeff Bezos is the Sleep Paralysis demon.

As an American this is exactly spot on. This is the privilege we all as Americans have. Be prouds bothers and sisters!

Bezos!!!! aaahahahaha

Very inaccurate. Where's the 3 hour commute by car

You're confusing us with the Japanese community

the only thing i know about Finland is that it is miserably cold and they made a movie called "my life as a dog" ...neither is appealing

Pretty realistic....sadly...

Get outside and grow a garden do real man's work

If you don’t have money they see you as sub human
