Episode description

On this episode, Colleen and Allard discuss Dutch working culture; Allard wants to know if it really is as different as foreigners say it is, and Colleen is here to answer with a big "hell YES"! 

But the big question is: are the Dutch slackers? They work the least amount of hours in Europe, have tons of holidays and seem to be home on time for the school pick-up. How do they do it? 

With their love of meetings and lack of hierarchies, Colleen and Allard discuss the pros and cons of working in a Dutch office. Colleen's used to it now, but Allard sometimes wishes the Dutch worked a bit more like the Americans!

The episode concludes with Allard's favourite topic: Dutch snacks! This time he wants to talk milkshakes and fries. Oh...and who could forget mayo!!!
