    Do you guys work 8 hours every single day of the year? I work 1800h and already feel like a slave with no free time

      It’s worse than that. On average, we spend 2,080 hours at work. This doesn’t account for holidays, but there are also businesses that don’t close during holidays, and of course vacations are a luxury for a lot of people. It’s a ballpark estimate for working 40 hour weeks all year.

        US government uses 2087 hours as the annual amount for employees. Gotta squeeze in that extra 7 hours.

        I just realized if I count my commute, I will spend nearly 3,120 hours of my year working…

        And that’s why you don’t join the military. Problem solved.

    Puts the 4-day Time Cube to shame, really.
