In communist states it was a standard as recently as in the early 70s.
- simtel20 6y agoAnd in a capitalist 3rd world society, they're still happening now. A lot of people I see here in brazil are at their doors selling stuff on their feet and doing whatever needs doing 6 days a week. The saving grace is that there are more holidays here than in most of the first world.
- Tade0 6y agoAround here(Poland) we never really went off the 40h+ workweek. My parents both either worked some Saturdays or after hours. Looking at the statistics our countries have strikingly similar annual hours worked. That would make sense, because it's a public secret that we're actually a third-world country propped up by EU money.
- huachimingo 6y agoWhy is this being downvoted? This happens in 3rd world. Here in Chile we are not that different than Poland or Brazil in weekly working hours. At least we have more working holidays than Mexico.
- Tade0 6y agoAlso very curious why would anyone take issue with that comment.
