  Lol. I had these guys beat in terms of hours, and their job was no wear near as physical as mine was.

  Now I get to be a desk jockey, and it’s fucking sweet. Gonna milk it, because I put my hours in.

    Milking the fuck out of mine. It’s not quite a usual “desk job” but i spend a lot of time sitting at a desk.

    Thanks for having a sense of humour about the meme. I’m also a desk jockey. Be sure to stretch frequently and take care of your back! The tension has a way of sneaking up.

  40 hr work week would be great to be honest.

    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.

      But let’s be honest working through lunch eveyday it’s actually 42.5

        That’s the trick. Don’t work through lunch. Leave the building if it’s unpaid.

        I work a flat 40 with paid breaks. Canada too, but it's a union plant.

      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.
