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

50 hours a week is around average here in the state's....

Many of us do more than that.

It a thing here
I work roughly between 60 plus hours a week. I spend more time working than drinking wine. It should be the other way round. @Callmewhatyouwill
@Random1Thoughts I average around 65 sometimes as many as 100, but that's rare.

Gotta make the time for yourself
@Callmewhatyouwill
I go to work when it's pitch black and return the same way. No wonder I look like an albino white tiger.馃槀
@Random1Thoughts Same. But I'm outside all day. Rain or shine.

Sometimes dawn to the next days dusk
