If you are doing 7-5 days, is that really... 32 hours?

  Maybe that includes 1h lunch break plus some short coffee breaks? I think that, in Germany, lunch break does not count towards the paid hours in salaried jobs.

    Yeh, he was including a lunch break which is not in the paid hours

      It's still not 32. 7 to 5 is 10 hours. Subtracting 1 is 9. Times 4 is 36.

        Maybe subtracting two per day, or the "leave by five" had an implied "at the very latest." Surely he did the math before putting the number in the title of his blog post.

          He worked four 10 hour days and called it 32 hours a week. We don’t have any reason to trust his math.

          There is a reason why it's called a 9-5 job, and a 40-hour work week. They are the 'standard.'

  I think he was saying before his 32-hour work week experiment, he was working 7-5
