Hermann the German: Casting a Cold Eye.
The Germanic work ethic is a hilarious myth.
Apparently, it's not just Yanks. The work ethic is suffering globally during The Recession. In "Here people work until they are 67?", Hermann, our long time Berlin-based stringer, learns that Germans are telling Greeks to work harder (get “a more Germanic work ethic”). Hermann's not buying it. Nonetheless, we know that Germans on occasion are overcome by motivation and resolve.
