- ethbro 10y agoWhat's the typical work schedule in Norway like in the summer? Curious (from a US perspective) how the startup death march applies to seasonal variation. Are substantial vacations / outdoor enjoyment normal when the weather turns nicer?
- chillax 10y agoIn a normal company (as in not a startup) you'll work 8 to 16 year round and have at least 5 weeks of vacation, most of them usually to be spent during the common vacation time (Fellesferien) which is in july. If you're lucky you can expect at a good chunk of extra days days of in may when we celebrate different christian days and of course constitution day on the 17th. Oh, and at easter you'll have 3 days of. Most people (at least families) take the whole easter week of. Working in the government you'll often find a concept of summer time, where you work from 8 to 15 from around may to sometime in august. Those hours are to be worked extra during the rest of the year though.
