I'm too busy I say. I got a raise, new fancy title and haven't had time to stop even for a coffee break since. Yay! Well, nothing has changed in the end still working the normal 7.5h a day :p I've heard that in other countries *cough* USA *cough* people tend to work ridiculously long days (for the team!) on their own time, have minimal vacations and all for the illusion of the company really caring about you, maybe? I don't really know but eventually they burn out... :/
Well, here, as long as you are just an employee without any executive powers what so ever, we work for 7,5h per day. And our vacation is 5 weeks, 4 in the summer and one in the winter usually. In this field you need to be a bit flexible on the working hours but for longer period of time if the want us to do long days they need to pay overtime salary or nobody does nothing extra.
