      It’s too much for everyone, unless your work is your life.

      In jobs where 8 hours are no problem, you usually have some periods of time, where you can shut off your brain. Driving to a new location, frequent breaks in the office or practical duties for some variation.

      Corporate desk jobs are awful longer than 6-7 hours.

        In most of my jobs I like to use the last hour to lay out what im doing the next day

        I’d say I only get 6 hours of work done a day. With WFH I just potter about and go on my phone for the rest of it.

        I felt bad about it for a while, but the alternative is that I quit and leave my employer in the shit because the team is tiny and they struggle to recruit.

      I work 12hour shifts. 3 days a week. I’m telling you, that’s way better. Sure the shifts are long. You won’t do anything else those days. But you get used to it in a month or two. Once you do adjust, having 4 day weekends each and every week is life changing. I could never go back.
