From experience, I'm not sure the 40 hour work week is an actual thing outside of highly bureaucratic organizations. In part time jobs like retail or restaurant work, it seems very difficult to get enough "hours" assigned. In professional fields such as software engineering, there seems to be an abundance of possible work. However, I find that even working 50 hours a week is far more enjoyable and easy when compared to a CS/engineering degree from a top school.
- CydeWeys 8y agoIt's very common in government work (and there are millions of government employees at local, state, and federal levels). I'm at a Big 4 and it's pretty common amongst everyone I know to work 40 hour weeks.
- thenewwazoo 8y agoWhat’s your level? I’ll be very very surprised if you’re an associate. When I worked at a big 4, the associates didn’t leave until after the senior associates, who left after the managers, who left after the senior managers (if they were around), etc. The reverse was true in the mornings. Because we were expected to maintain appearances. I didn’t play that stupid game (as a sr assoc) and definiely heard about it through back channels.
