It depends on the culture: I work for an absolutely normal company in France (I'm the sole dev) and at noon I go home (10 min drive) cook my meal and eat leisurely, then get a 30 minutes nap and go back to work at 2 PM.
Pay isn't great, but quality of life is high.
- rileyteige 6y agoI visited France a few years ago. It was incredible how e.g. the entire Vieux Port market in Marseille would close down from roughly 1-3pm. Just about nothing was open. Storefronts, restaurants, all closed. Seemed like a very peaceful place to make a living. I guess money's not everything.
- moltar 6y agoHave not been to that specific market, but I know other market sellers (farmers) in Canada. Probably what you are not seeing is that these market sellers woke up at 4 am to get ready for the market, and drive > 1 hour from the rural areas to beat traffic and setup shop. Then they take rest 1-3pm, and then continue until 6-7pm. Only to get home at 8pm and then still have to make dinner and rest.
