35 hours a week?!

When I learnt that my new employer required me to work only 35 hours a week, I could hardly believe it. Surely that kind of thing only goes on in places like France? Well, no, it’s for real and it’s happening right here in the UK. It’s seriously weird working in an office that’s three quarters empty before 5pm. My last boss would be doing his nut! Can’t say I’d blame him either.

Your last boss wouldn't have minded if his company made 200 million profit last year. Lots of hours does not equal lots of profit.

You beat me! My new employer wants 36. Still it's a pleasant change, n'est pas?

Think I'm gonna stick to a respectable 40 a week. That said, check back in a few weeks' time and we'll probably find that I've taken the stance of "When in Rome..." ;-)
