I am working in Vienna (Austria) and I am not sure whether the company's time-keeping scheme represents the majority of companies in Vienna or it is a manifestation of an ultra-lean mid-size company. I've worked in consulting and, sure, you need to track project time, but I am now working in an R&D role and it seems so unnatural to clock-on and clock-off. We receive a 30min lunch break, during which we need to clock off. We need to have an average of 40 hours logged per week during the course of a calendar month. By Austrian law, an employee must take a 30min break after six hours’ work. IT and software receive dual 24" but R&D (also programming-intensive), along with project managers, HR, etc. receive one 24". So I and the rest of the R&D team are constantly thrashing the Ubuntu Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 4/8/6/2 command to sprawl four windows onto one screen. I think it was a poor decision not to group R&D with software in terms of monitor requirements.
