I’m part of a union and I work 36 hours a week (and would like to go 32 once I have a bit more financial headroom). But 8 hours a day is pretty typical right? I don’t know anyone who works less than that. I use the hours I don’t have to work relative to a normal 40 hour workweek to take days off, not work less per day. On a 6 hour workday I’d probably be as productive as an 8 hour one, but that’s my employer’s problem and not mine.
Depends how many days a week that you work. 8 hr days x 5 days is 40 hours. So if you’re working 36 hours a week, and 5 days, then you’re already working less than 8 hour days.
Though I’d guess you’re likely 9x4. My place of work, for people who do 5 day weeks, its 7hr days (including 30 min paid lunch and two 15 min paid breaks).
No I work 8 hour days, I just have every 2nd Friday off. Though those 8 hour days do include random coffee breaks etc, as is probably normal in office spaces. Not lunch tho, so I tend to work from 8:30 - 17:30 with 1 hour lunch break.
