A typical Swedish workday
Most employees arrive at work any time between 7 and 9 am
Some choose to start the day early
Some go training before work
Some bring their kids to the kindergarten
Normally, if you are at work by 9am, everything should be fine
This flexibility is fantastic for family life
And for people who have different routines
But Swedes are not flexible when it comes to other aspects of work life
Meetings and breaks for example
You are supposed to arrive just on time
And when the meeting is done
Everyone leaves
Even if you are in the middle of a discussion
Or the conclusion is not made
