Best Working Hours
2005.03.04 23:30

I am working 60 hours a week. 12 hours times 5 working days is equal to 60. It is the best working hours I ever went through. When I had to work extra 8 working hours, I lost a balance.
Last summer I worked 15.5 hours a day times 5 = 77.5 hours in a week. But it was one of the rarest things in my life. I like working. I can learn a lot of findings every day, if I lost anything to find in my daily job, I will quit my job... It's not likely to happen, as long as I am an earnest worker.
I think average working hours of ordinary Japanese guys are 60 hours -indeed it's a best working hours.

The law here says they have to pay me time-and-a-half (x 1.5 my hourly rate) for any hours over 40 (or per day hours over 8). I'm already expensive - there is no way they would want to pay that.
Technically, any hours over 12 in one day is paid at double-time. So your 15.5 hour days would bring in a ton of money - so if on a normal day you earned $160, a 15.5 hour day would net you $360.

I think the law - labour standard law, labour relation coordination law, labour union law -we say labour 3 laws - basic laws which regulate the working conditions, wages etc. says the same as you mentioned above. Maybe those regulations were embraced from the precedents of USA after the war.
We know we are less paid. But I am very optimistic. They will learn my value, soon.--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters
