What do you think about / would say to a job with a 42 hours week?

    Depends on if it's 7 days 6 hrs, which i wouldn't like, or 6 days 7 hrs which would be fine with me

    Beter if it's 5days 7 hrs, one day 5 hrs

    I would say that's 12 hours too many.

    Pretty chill. I've got 42,5 and that's just fine if they let you show up late in the morning. It's a 5 day week with 8,5 hours per day.

    I'm on 35 hours and would decline even a 40h job, except if I were unemployed and couldn't get a 35h job. 1.5 hours more time for myself every day is huge.

    I work every damn hour of the week.

    @Fast-Nop Damn, I'd like to have 35h!
    Instead it seems like I'll get 2h more ☹️

    @Lensflare Germany has a law that gives you some rights, the part time working law (Teilzeitarbeitsgesetz). Basically, if you're not in a super small company and don't work actual shifts (like fire fighters), the employer cannot say "no".

    Of course, it won't make sense to go that way within the first 6 months because they can fire you during the probation time for no reason.

    It’s weird to have fix work-hours in 2020. Usually if i have done all the task for the day i am done even if 8 hours is not completed, although i have tendency to start every late like around 11:30 to 12:00

    @hardfault I have flex-time, with mandatory core time from 0930 to 1500 (1300 on Friday).

    Depends on the pay, I've done jobs that are 40+ plus 27/4 on call.
