Have you tried to negotiate four days week trial with your employers?

I work for an American company situated in Europe. I have been trying to negotiate working four days a week.

I am on salary and work long arduous hours daily, roughly 10 plus hours. We are expected to perform but performance dwindle due to exhaustion. Studies have shown the longer employees work the more their productivity levels drop.

SW has helped sedate my brain from exploding. I wake up thinking about meeting deadlines, I go to sleep dreaming of deadlines. It's a nightmare but every time I suggest this to my employer, I'm told you're paid a hefty amount to perform and complete the task. How you manage it is your problem. 馃槩

It鈥檚 hell and will make you ill, but you鈥檒l feel like a real American! Just get obese and you鈥檒l really fit in.@Random1Thoughts
I went straight from my graduation gown to working for this company. I can't complain because I am lucky to have been offered such a position considering I have no experience and still a junior.

I'm 28 years old and feel like I'm in my 50s with the amount of work I'm facing daily.

I guess that's life, in order to survive, one must make sacrifices. @SW-User
