48 hrs a week contracted. That’s not counting the extra hours needed to keep on top of things. I try to limit myself to 1 hour overstaying at work …the amount of work piling up is getting uncontrollably out of hand since I started limiting myself to these hours. It used to be a routine of 2 hours of overstaying and 1 hour of logging in remotely before bed.
If you want the full answer to the question of “how fucked are you”, then this work involves constant people “coming at me” (disgruntled and immature employees I’m managing and endless barrage of service user complaints) and needs to fit around 2 young children (1 has additional needs) and a wife who has a nightmare employer plus exams coming up; and a house that has an ever increasing list of maintenance tasks that have been pending. So overall, I think this describes my situation pretty accurately.
So how fucked are You? 40h is actually quite a lot for Europe. In Poland I work 40, in Ireland I worked 39 and in Denmark 37.
Canada checking in with 37.5.
But let’s be honest working through lunch eveyday it’s actually 42.5
I work a flat 40 with paid breaks. Canada too, but it’s a union plant.
That’s the trick. Don’t work through lunch. Leave the building if it’s unpaid.
