I work for a company's whose headquarters is in Poland and we rely on eastern europeans for a fair amount of work. For context on this statement, we (americans) all believe our 2 hours of work is equivalent to their 8 hours of work.
To massively oversimplify, eastern europeans believe american corporate speak and many meetings are a huge waste of time and inefficicent communication. Americans believe eastern europeans miss critical context that leads to work which needs to be redone because its incorrect.

Since they're only working 2 hours but billing 8, your 2 hours of work is actually equivalent to their 4 days. b. They aren't taking 3 extra days, your 2 hours is equivalent to their 2 hours, and they're billing you for 8 as a lesson in humility. :)
