I appreciate that the stereotype of Americans abroad is no longer that we’re lazy and stupid. Unfortunately, it’s now that we work ourselves to death for no reason because we’ve basically resigned ourselves to being a third world country, but with smart phones, and also we’re stupid.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.
When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.
Unacceptable.

So few people here seem to think beyond "more hours = better" to realize that burnt out workers are much less productive—a strong argument for shorter work weeks, too.
If that helps, I´d say the stereotype that americans are lazy isnt something ive heard in a long time. I guess the bad stereotype is mostly on food nowadays.
And I have to just shrug cuz... yeah kinda. That is quite a lot of us right now huh.
