For most Danes, the principle of life is that we work to live, we do not live to work.
For most Danes, family and friends will always be more important than work.
On the other hand, Danes are usually fiercely loyal to whoever they work for.
We do come around as a bit reserved but when you have been accepted, you have a friend for life, who will always be there for you any time if at all possible.
TheChiefEng I like Denmark
Balance between work and home life will pay very positively for the Danish people. It is one reason for their being the happiest people in the world.
Danish culture has a lot focus on a good work/life balance. That is a important factor in thriving.
BEAUTIFUL!! Being watching the videos of Denmark and I sooo felt in LOVE with the culture. That used to be like our culture. Working time cut off early kept the Danes healthy. WELL BALANCED. Time to unwind from the stress kept each person more energetic for the next day. BRAVO!! To the Danes and the Denmark government. Please share more. Spread Love everyone!
Watching from all the way out here in the BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS of SAIPAN. COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANAS. HAFA ADAI TO YOU ALL DANES. STAY STRONG IN YOUR CULTURE. EXCELLENT ONE !!
All that thanks to strong unions
The best way to get to know the Danes, and here I speak as a Dane is to keep trying. Just keep pushing, go with the social activities from work, and do some free time activities around Danes. Through your attendance it gets easier for you to get to know us.
Its because Danes generally form their sphere of friends in the teens, and its friends we keep through our life. Ones you befriend a Dane you have a friend for life. That is why we are not as outgoing and as open as most other countries, because we might be happy and content with the friends we have at the moment. BUT that said, it don't mean we never get new friends, and we all love to get more, so I can only hope all you lovely people coming to Denmark will come out and befriend us!
That sounds like the average Dane sees few things of interest in the foreigner. Your words depict a one-way flow.
@@ngs8022 I'm sorry but he wrote nothing about foreigners. He described that nordic culture of choosing friends with similar interests and values and continue to meet them It's the same if you're new as a dane. To get to know danes personally what he wrote is the same as in the clip, go to the social events and start networking. Also seek contact with people outside from work with similar interests and values. That was a University and people do put a lot of flyers of different events and activities. Universities also have associations for different interests, student unions.
@@lottalarsson4121 I'm sorry, but he only spoke of "we, the Danes"; anyone else who is not a Dane is a foreigner. That's precisely my point, he said to the effect of "(you) keep pushing (...) If *you* attend the events *you* will befriend us". That "you" means the non-Dane, i.e. the foreigner. He's expecting the foreigner to do all the befriending work, supposedly because (he said to the effect of) "we, the Danes, are already settled down, have our old-time friends and **therefore** are not in need to get more." Well, that's my point. It happens because of conservatism or lack of curiosity for the different, the novel, a change of life, need of exiting routine. And it's not a purely Danish thing, it happens in other cultures, too.
@@ngs8022 Again it has nothing to do with being foreign. He just explanined danish culture. It's just the if someone nordic moves to a new place. Please stop making stuff up.
@@lottalarsson4121 I'm not making stuff up, I gave references in inverted commas to the effect of. You can go back to his text & match them up. My criticism is that he's happy saying it's the non-Dane (the non-local if you want to transpose it to any other culture) who needs to make the effort of befriending; instead of saying it's *also* the local (Dane in this case) who, if s/he had any curiosity for the different, the unusual, the non-local, s/he would **also** make an effort to befriend the non-local s/he sees as workmate, classmate, etc.

We have a joke about work in Denmark.
3 Kids talking:
1) - My farther can run 100m in 11 seconds.
2)-baah, My farther can run 100m in 10.5 seconds
3) You know nothing about speed. My fathers work time ends at 5 o'clock...... and he is home at 4:30!
Lovely 😁
Interesting
It really depends of where you work and what type of job you have. If you work construction 70 hours work week is the norm most places.
maybe if u r polish
No it's not stupid comment to put I work with that
Danish waiters definitely do not stress over customers. Customers can wait. A lot.
What is SUND?

In Danish the abbreviation of "Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences" is SUND
Very long work hours doesn't mean high productivity ...
In Denmark we work to make money to us self and our family. Not to the ceo
0:50 - People arrive at 8 am and leave at 3:30? But that's almost nine to five.. It's just half an hour less than working from 9 to 5. Is this work-life balance really that much better than in other countries?
the pay is good
lol, most of the people in the rest of the world leaves home at 07:30 to get to their jobs at 09:00 and then work until 18:00 to get to your homes at 19:30, and that is the job if you have studied and get into a big company, you can have much worse if you dont have a proper job, i once get a job from 08:00 to 16:00 and people called my lazy
I work 7-16 most days here in Denmark. Hmm
I only work 34 hours and then I work 4 a days week and 3 days off it's different from person to person I get hour pay and get 250 dk PR hour so it's okay with those hours I work to live okay not best pay but it'd survivable
Hm...
I have worked for Danes and, I have worked for and not least with Americans!!
The last point "with" is very, very important!!
What I've experienced in Denmark is sadly - it's the Danish way or no way..
Americans are more flexibable - at least the companies and people I have come across(banking, software, hardware) and when it comes to my work in research, archives etc the US have been much more honest to me than Denmark...now 2023...I have stopped 100% to contact Danish Historians which is very sad to have to do - simply because they refuse completely to cooperate and it seems the Danes neither can nor will share their (our) very own History..
Thankfully facts can be found elsewhere but, not the point here dear Danes 🥴
America with 335 million people can be compared to Copenhagen?
Ofc not, America is more like 51 countries rolled into one system.
Work is a necessity to survive, because welfare sucks!
Welfare, in terms of the support it gives, does not suck in denmark.

@L M Then you remember when France imposed 75% tax on the rich and 99% left France/

sigh.. get to know other cultures.. we love it here even though we have our troubles too.. but we do have a great life..
only alumni, not really respresentative for the title
"Danes at their finest" *rofl* You mean drunk of our arse?
Indeed.. xD
Are you druk?
why they interview only females?? and the men's? oh... never mind in name of equality males can't work in such beautiful and clean place... but they still need and use men for built that ...
Dude take that American-anglo gender bullshit somewhere else. It is not how we do in Denmark. This is clearly a video from the field of pharmaceuticals, where women are quite a majority especially in the younger age demographics. If you went to an electronics or industrial robotics company, they would be interviewing the men. We don't do bean counting or quotas here. Don't paint politics into things, that aren't political, it is a very narrow and sad lens to see the world through. It is actually some good advice on Danish social bonds in the working environment. It is usually a very flat structure with a work week of 37-40 hours. You don't automatic points based on your degree, gender, job title or religious status here, it is about what you bring to the table in turns of skills and abilities that count here, be a slacker and you will get shunned here, but that's really it.
so where are the men? " shut up , keep your sexiest bs out from here... " but about where are the men no answer... nothing! now if you reverse it like a video that show only men and a woman was asking where are the women...you can bet that, this two mangina was come in with different attitude...
this confirm my theory that in countries where women not reached just equality, but superiority and are treated like semi Gods... it's because an high concentration of simps and mangina like the commenter above... two perfect examples...
