Companies in Thailand lose 73 days of productivity per employee each year due to health issues, study says

Not surprised.  Thailand sanitary and food and toilet conditions are fair at best.  Open food, open latrines, flies really do fly around and pass bacteria around things.  Garbage sits uncollected in the streets.

... and the rest of the year is spent productively gawking at a smart phone,  playing online games or looking in the mirror.

If you combine sickies with religious, royal & national holidays, then about 20% of the year passes with - broadly - 'noone at work'. If you then add in the mind-boggling waste of time, inefficiency & incompetence that is so common even when people are 'at work', productivity levels are so low they don't even register on the geiger counter.

 

No wonder 90% of the population are poor.

 

But you could say similar things - mutatis mutandis - about France, Greece, Italy, UK & US. As I have commented in the past, the default policy position of people everywhere in the world is to kick the can further down the road.

and the rest of the year is not so productive also...
