Ironically Greek workers have almost the longest working hours (I think they're 3rd) & have amongst the lowest pay in the EU, and now they're being screwed again via myths accusing them of being lazy.

Its only the public servants who are branded like that and their poor work performance, comes down to 1 thing, Job security.
They simply cannot be fired and I believe they continue to enjoy this priviledge at the expense of the tax payer.
