Citation? 40 hours is a standard full-time work week in many locations. Are you trying to suggest that “most nations” have work limits lower than 40 hours per week? Because that’s not true at all.

- ehnto 4y agoSorry I've made an edit since your reply, I meant to write western nations, but in fairness I can't find any good collated citations, and it's not likely to be "most western nations" as I thought anyway. So I guess just consider my comment an anecdote. But anecdotally (ie based on googling around) it is around 38 hours in NZ, Australia, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, France, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Luxembourg. It's usually reported as an average of hours worked by a full time employee, but in at least a few of these countries it's actually a government set maximum. It wasn't really the 40 hours I was taking issue with anyway, as that's pretty reasonable. But what does it mean to say that if you want to work remotely, you have to put in 40 hours at the office as well, shouldn't that be all you have to put in? It's just a loaded way to communicate.
