I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

    I start working the moment I come to work and finish work when the place is closed, 6-12h. I work in a kitchen. Only times there might not be work is during the quiet season when we’ve managed to do a deep clean already the day before. But mostly I only work and then rest on my days off these days.

    Only time I have for even thinking about my hobbies and friends are when I get two days off in a row once a month. Probably going to have to look for a new job before I burn out. These comments about only working for a couple hours a day are really making me envious.

        Worst part is the owner has been saying he has too much staff and that kitchen should also start running some of the food. We are stretched so thin we do prep at the same time we handle the service as well.

      2 days off excluding weekends. Right? Right?

      I get weekends (sat, sun) and 30 days off a year. Plus public holidays like Chrismas or Sylvester.

        Thankfully Sundays are double pay in Finland, so we are always closed on Sundays. Then the second day off we have a random weekday (excluding friday and saturday). Monday off rotates so that everyone in the kitchen gets 1 Monday off once a month.

        We also get vacation days, but mostly during the quiet season. Always working on public holidays, unless it’s the kind where people go to their summer cabins, out of the city.

        Sylvester? Is that an auto correct issue, or is this a public holiday that I might want to move to lol.

        Please forgive my ignorance, the schools really failed in the US.
