So you say it's a myth that Japanese work 50-60h a week?

How long do you actually work?

I find it incredibly hard to believe some of these numbers, how are they measured? Self-reported, taken from employers?

I said truth.
Adolf, are you a racist?

obviously overtimes aren't counted here
in italy are mandatory

Yes, I am.

How long do you actually work?

protip : grorious vorunteer for ouru companyru is not counted

this is a bit lower now since previously many ppl didnt take their free days as a financial safety option, because if you were fired they had to pay it off

now if you dont take them its lost and cant hoard it

>you knew you were about to get fired when they start poking you about your 80 free days

I'm NEET

what is so hard to believe, jobs dont grow on trees, you wana keep your job so you work hard, you work hard and mr shekelstein knows you dont wana lose it

theres no welfare

Why are germans so racist?

on paper they dont work much longer than in western countries but they are pressured into unpaid overtime more

Because we're better than you in everything.

fucking racist shut up

wtf already feel like in the netherland i do nothing but work
how the fuck can koreadogs and mexifats work almost 1k hours more

bullshit must be self reported

Wow, such insight, very comprehensive, great statistics

>Portugal
Average hours per day = 8h
Average days per month = 24
Subtracting 20 days for holidays and whatnot (this number is smaller sometimes: (24*12-20)*8 = 2144h
Some people work 7h a day, that gives 1876h a year.
Now the fun part. Most companies try to get unpayed overtime work. Some people at my job do an average of 10h or 11h, giving them 2680h a year (for 10h).
People that only work part-time do on average 1072h a year, which drives the average down.

I think the statistic is lower than the true number for Portugal.

For Germany, that value tells us that, if they work 7h a day, they only work 16 days a month (without vacation). That's retardedly low.

Of course, this high number and overtime also stems from retarded employees.
Another example from my job.

>friday, boss comes around
>there's been an amergency at client X, we need you to go there and look into it during the weekend
>everyone knows the extra hours won't be payed
>are you free to do that, user?
>nope, it's weekend and I already had stuff planned
>what about you, guy #1 and guy #2?
>well, someone has to do it, right? We'll do it
>boss goes away happy
>their eyes are full of contempt, yet the decision was their's
>they proceed to work that friday until 23h and saturday from 8h to 18h, for a total of 15h extra unpayed hours

In general, people are retards and bosses like them retarded. One of the things that make this country not advance.

you are a literal endless NEET so wont ever realize this shit graph is made up

Japan's overwork culture is probably exaggerated especially in the West but I don't believe this kind of statistic anyway

Even after accounting for the 23 days off a year (Vacation, Holidays, Personal days, sick time) I still work over 2,000 hours.

How is unpaid overtime legal? Are they getting paid salary and not hourly?

It's illegal if it's forced on the employee.
Not that the boss didn't order them, they simply said yes.

But are they paid by the hour or just given a lump sum for the year?

It depends. Mostly it's hourly or monthly wages.

Well that sucks. I worked for one company that tried to transition me to salary and I refused and left because it was actually going to be less money because of how many hours I work.

Now I work for a company and do about 9.5 hours on the clock a day and get 7.5 hours of time and a half a week. They don't complain because I'm the only competent person though.

what's the point of working 50-60h?

you definitely wouldn't be able to keep up the productivity. software developers effectively work 4-5h a day when spending 8-9h in the office.

Money

theres no point, they dont make a point bout it in the first place thus they systematically work like aunts.

In the US you have laws that guarantee overtime pay, or so I've heard?

Japanese cannot understand productivity, they just do as what other robots do for confirming teamwork. very silly people tbqh even myself as Japanese.

Yes at a federal level and some states have even more overtime rules. Federal is anything over 40 a week must be 1.5x the normal pay per hour.

This peasant mentality holding you back a lot.

And they say America has no workers' rights laws.

In this regard you're better than Germany, where it's legal to hand out contracts allowing unpaid overtime.

Well, the greeks are definitely lying

If you work salary instead of hourly you don't get this protection, but you should only accept salary if they offer you a lot of money.

About 60% of Americans are paid hourly

really?
only students get paid hourly here

...

you are jealous of Greeks and got bullied by me

Yep.

First paragraph

not really
it is true
it is just there is a diffence between quality and quantity of work

What is 過労死? Also サービス残業.

Of course unpaid overwork would not figure in official numbers.

I work 50h-60h a week

But you're pretty much the same at beating Americans

Yes. Germany is the country where things are done the right way.

if you get 過労死, you will be reported as a headline news and the company gives a press conference to apologize, which means it's very unusual even in Japan

Too bad you'll be dead, but thanks for clarifying. But I suppose the diagnosis isn'tstraightforward.
