> 12 hour days. Sounds pretty dystopian
And quite common in certain industries. I have relatives in oil rigs and aircraft maintenance who work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week. But they do usually get 3 day weekends and other perks.
- Beldin 5y agoAround here, in certain areas, full-time is 36hrs. You can arrange to do 4 days of 9 hours each and have 3-day weekends. 12 hour days may be reasonable in certain situations, but "3 day weekend" doesn't sound like nearly enough of a perk.
