you work from 9 in the morning to 5 at night? damn, american working hours are harsh
8-ish hours is normal in Norway to. Allthough 8 - 15:30. With 30 min for lunch. 37,5 hours is a normal week for me.
Uhhhhh you don't? 8 hours are normal pretty much everywhere. Maybe I misunderstood you
Get in a union and fix your work life balance
I'm part of a union and I work 36 hours a week (and would like to go 32 once I have a bit more financial headroom). But 8 hours a day is pretty typical right? I don't know anyone who works less than that. I use the hours I don't have to work relative to a normal 40 hour workweek to take days off, not work less per day. On a 6 hour workday I'd probably be as productive as an 8 hour one, but that's my employer's problem and not mine.
Depends how many days a week that you work. 8 hr days x 5 days is 40 hours. So if you're working 36 hours a week, and 5 days, then you're already working less than 8 hour days.
Though I'd guess you're likely 9x4. My place of work, for people who do 5 day weeks, its 7hr days (including 30 min paid lunch and two 15 min paid breaks).
nah, it's 9 9 6 or some new shit they came up with
.
