This ranking is bonkers. Turkey, India, and China are in the top 3. The bottom 3 are Norway, UK, and finally Japan. Mexicans work some of the longest hours in the world, but has a ranking similar to Sweden. Norway and Sweden are some of the happiest countries in the world, with some of the strongest safety nets and worker protections. Why do their “employee well being” scores not reflect this? I don’t trust this ranking at all.
Edit: misread Netherlands for Norway. Still, the Netherlands actually ranks even higher on happiness than Norway, so my point stands.
Are you allowed to complain? Is obviously the big factor.
This is Japan is worse to be an employee AND have the right to complain about. Being a slave does not count
I don’t know why you wouldn’t be able to complain to a pollster in India. I’ve seen other polling done in China that finds extreme dissatisfaction with the brutal 996 work culture. This ranking contradicts so many other data points.
