You guys should come to New Zealand... working outside of your work hours is not cool here. More and more companies expect only 37 hours per week... a new trend

You guys should come to New Zealand... working outside of your work hours is not cool here. More and more companies expect only 37 hours per week... a new trend is 4 days workweeks. Nobody checking their email or phone after work... Ridiculous.

Ummm, we want to but New Zealand ISN'T TAKING PEOPLE ANYMORE! I looked into it =( it super bummed me out. EDIT: I should say, from the U.S. anyway.

  Whatever do you mean? I still see NZ companies hiring USA engineers.

    Yes, but now with restrictions on buying property. (It makes it much less of an attractive proposition.)

Same in the UK mostly (although there is a bit of this culture in London). I remember my first job, it got to 5pm and my boss gently prompted me to go home. He was happy to let me stay if I wanted to on occasion to finisb something off, but made clear that it wasn't expectsd or the norm. It's something I've stuck to ever since.
