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

Isn't it against the law to work over 40 hours in a single week?

@OnixBre No, it's not. I think they did change the overtime laws, even for salaried employees.

@OnixBre Average American works nearly 50 hours a week. It's illegal to not pay overtime for over 40 hours a week.
