  Holy shit. 15 hour shifts aren’t uncommon at all where I’m from. No wonder we placed well below Japan on work-life balance statistics.

  The fact that there are places where people legitimately only work 8 hours a day is kind of mind blowing, thinking about it.

      Colombia. Solidly placed among the worst countries in the world in terms of work-life balance.

      I have a decent job and I don’t work that much, but I’m basically a freelancer, so that’s already pretty different.

    Don’t worry, that’s being actively eroded. People cost too much to hire, at least according to the businesses, so they’re just gonna find ways to make less people work more and more.
