Not necessarily true, a lot of places allow people to work 4 days with a full time salary. In the end its about the job you do, not how many time you spend on i

  > In the end its about the job you do, not how many time you spend on it. Unfortunately most employers don't see it this way. Especially at corporations where the number of employees is large, I mean like > 1000 headcount. It becomes impossible for HR not to completely manage people's time through strict enforcement of working hours policies. They employ you for 40 hours a week and thus expect you to be there for 40 hours a week. If you work for less than 40 hours it means either you're overqualified, i.e. being payed too much, they could replace you with someone that costs less and works slower, or they need to give you more work to do to make up for that 40 hours a week they're paying you for. I hate it.

    If this experience applies to the Netherlands you should look for a better employer! In my experience this is perfectly possible at large cooperations (well known names) without any weird looks from HR or management.
