I worked I Germany for 4 years.
At some point, a German colleague and I went on a visit to a French Institute. Their schedule:
9.00am everybody arrived.
9.30-10.30 coffee/chat time
10.30-12.00 do sone work
12.00-1.30 lunch time
1.30-3.30 some more work.
3.30-4.30 coffee/chat time.
4.30-5.00 wrap up work for the day
5.00 everybody left.
After 3 weeks working with this schedule, my German co-worker commented that she had no idea how French managed to get anything done.
- agumonkey 8y agoThat institute is probably high on the exception scale. My mother has 20minutes to eat and there's no restaurant in her company. That said French people don't have the work 101% mentality but slacking off is not the norm either.
