The 40 hours week? I thought some countries were already trying 32 hours weeks.
- gnulinux 8y agoIn US, especially in tech industry, "official" workweek is 40 hours (9 to 5, five days a week) but most people work 45 to 50 hours a week. It's very normalized to work overtime. In my current company my manager told me repeatedly that working overtime is _discouraged_ yet everyone including him work 9 to 6 pretty much every day. I leave work around 6 on a normal day and sometimes it gets as late as 7. Again, this totally culturally normal.
