The USA is the only advanced economy in the world that doesn’t guarantee paid holiday for workers.
Most people I know working from home put in a solid gelatinous 3, MAYBE 4 hours tops between watching television and running errands, and I’m cashed after 2.
Any other WFH people agree with the number of hours worked?
Personally I’d say a majority of the time it is true since insurance is a bit swingy workload wise.
not when I wfh but I make it a point to push harder from home and take my time in the office because if they are doing metrics I want wfh to clearly win.
I put in a solid 40 working from home. Most people I know do.
Definitely not for me. That might be the case on a day here or there (say, if one of my kids has a longer doctor’s appointment), but usually I’m working 7-9 hours in a day. I do tend to work a slightly under 40 hours a week, though.
I honestly just wouldn’t be able to get all of my assigned work done in time if I only worked that much, as nice as it might be.
Author has weird shots against the US obviously being lazy because remote work is fake
Why is Canada so high and Japan so low?
Does Japan just have a lot of public holidays?
Work smarter, not harder.

Such statistics are almost always meaningless. In Germany, the total volume of work has increased significantly over the last 30 years, but the number of hours worked per worker has fallen over the same period. How can this be? This is because part-time workers are also included in the statistics. This can lead to the bizarre situation where more work is being done, but the average number of hours worked is falling, for example because more women are working part-time instead of not working at all.
Therefore, we should either compare only the total volume of work in relation to the population or only the average working hours of full-time positions. Both of these approaches, however, have their own problems.
Nevertheless, it is of course ridiculous that people in the USA are not entitled to vacation. That said, I wouldn’t put my faith in politics. But strong unions can change that.
