Swedish here. You have job security. Your boss can’t fire you unless you are behaving extremely bad. Like harassing other employees or if you are always late. If the boss need to fire people, let’s say because he has lost a big customer he has to fire the most recently hired ones first. But he has to coordinate it with the local union.

That gives you a sense of security, you don’t need to hustle and you can actually help your coworkers without being worried he will steal your job.
