Alex strikes back! Are Greeks really … lazy? Animated video to crush negative stereotypes

Alex strikes back! Are Greeks really … lazy? Animated video to crush negative stereotypesThe Omikron Project strikes back! With a new animation video about the “lazy” Greek, Alex. In an effort to bring down stereotypes and statistics confusion, Alex is compared with the rest of Europe. Why does Europe manage everything in time, while Alex gets stuck although he works longer than the average European?
The world says Alex is lazy… but is he really?
The Omikron Project is “a group of girls and guys trying to show the world the untold side of Greece’s current crisis, and crush the negative stereotypes of our country.” Last November the Omikron Project introduced animated Greek Alex in an effort to crush negative stereotypes against Greeks.
Nevertheless, I cannot but answer the Omikron Project question at the end of the video.  I could list just a few of  all time classic Greek pathogenic: the huge bureaucracy, the partial implementation of the laws, the lack of ergonomics culture and know-how, the absence of proper consultation and … the unexplained difficulties to carry out tasks and projects to the end. 
If I have to wait 5 hours to get a stamp to renew my social insurance book, then Yes! I return to work exhausted from doing nothing than standing queue…
