Depends on sector. Back in Poland I "worked for" companies where that ratio might be even higher. It is not healthy at all, it's super fake, and courts in many places can, if they want to bother with it, actually reclassify s

That is also feedback. Having unresponsive customers is a bad sign, often suggesting that maybe they're not as interested in the product as the smiles the hyper-gregarious sales team receives would suggest.

That amount of squatting will help you about as much as walking to your nearest bus stop every day. It's really not that much. The image westerners have comes from a shock of seeing anyone squatting ever, not from how much the "sl

Even outside of US, 40h is standard, some places have 35 hour work week. 30 is less than 4 days a week, or 5x6h. I actually think that _might_ be more efficient _and_ healthier, but it's unusually little, I think it's a typo.
