In which world do you live where employees work 8 hours per day ? They clock 8 hours per day maybe, but they don't work that time

I agree with you.

I am on Dutch subreddits a lot, to get a local pulse and not to be too HN minded.

A lot of them would have vilified you by now. Some even would have even questioned your morality.

Again, I agree with you. But clearly not everyone has this view.
