The average workday is over 10 hours?? We still work the same hours. 7.5hrs per day five days per week. No more or less.

Our managers had set Education KTs daily for 1hr because "you aren't spending travel time to come to office so let's use that time"

  What are Education KTs?

    Educational Knowledge transfers as in I teach X to the team and each one teaches something or the other

That‘s the question I asked myself too. How did they measure that? Average working hours: So Switzerland: 41 hours [1] Germany: only 15% over 45 hours [2] Austria: around 41 hours too [3] And it seems European average is also around 40 hours [3] . Edit: Ok, that‘s what i found: > Workday Span- The average daily number of hours in between the first and last email sent or meeting attended by an individual in a 24-hour day block. The 24-hour day block is determined by 12am-11:59pm in the user’s local time zone. This variable is calculated by taking the number of hours in between the first and last meeting or email for each user’s 24-hour block and then calculating the average across users for a given MSA. So if I write an email at 6am and another at 6pm, I would have worked 12 hours in this statistics, even though I was the rest of the day in the mountains (or otherwise out-of-office). I ahree that it‘s a nice way to measure working hours like that, but I myself sometimes write an email before breakfast and then have a lengthy breakfast.
