I'll just make a comment from my cosy European perspective. He's still working 9 hours a day. But it's okay, he "doesn't feel as burned out". Seriously, is this what is expected, or is it just the default?
- aschepis 15y agoIn many cases it is expected or at least the cultural norm. However, I think that there is a growing body of research that shows how unhealthy it can be.
- pnathan 15y agoYeah, 8-5 is absolutely expected.
- tobych 15y agoI think 8-5 is actually 8 hours in the US: federal laws guarantee you an hour lunch break, just as in the UK. Of course, I imagine in a lot of start-ups that's ignored or perhaps doesn't even hold.
- stygianguest 15y agoAh, so that probably means he's not actually working 9 solid hours per day. That's better. I admit to doing the same, albeit at different times of the day (10h-19h).
