1. In Europe, you can say no to working more than 48 hours a week.

3. In France, you can disregard work emails when you're not on the clock. Instead, answer emails when you return to work. They call it your "right to disconnect."
4. In Finland, you can have a business meeting in a sauna. They're really popular there so a lot of companies have in-office saunas.
