Well... I work as much as I want... but usually, people here work about 8 hours per day. Most people work 5 days a week, when Friday is half day and Saturday is total vacation (there are laws against working on Saturday here - only certain businesses can work on this day). Do you really work that much? I think working 40+ hours per week is not such a great way to spend my life... so I work much less, and enjoy much more.

Different kind of jobs have different number of working hours. On average, for office jobs, working hours is about 44 hours per week. And fixed off days on weekends. Some companies may choose to work half day on Saturdays, but the number of hours worked on weekdays could be slightly shortened. Most service lines would need to work on weekends, and their off days are scheduled on weekdays. Overall, no matter what kind of working days or working hours per day, the total number of hours worked per week is around 44 hours.

I work 8 hours a day with 1 1/2 hours break. In my work I don't need to work on Saturday but if I have something work to be done immediately I need to work on Saturday and file for an overtime.
