Yeah, nobody else in the world has to work that much. They’re so lucky /sarcasm.
The 40 hour workweek is standard pretty much everywhere in the world, except maybe Greece and Spain. Go take a longer lunchtime nap.
Working 40 hours in China, means working from 9 till 11:30, then taking a 2,5 hours lunch/nap and starting again at 2 till 5.
Hard life…
My homeland is a country not renowned for it’s strong work ethic (hint: it ain’t Switzerland or Germany). However, if one were to do what alot of the locals do here (ie. openly, brazenly sleeping at the desk/counter etc.) you could be pretty sure of getting an on-the-spot dismissal. The building where I work here has shared toilets for the whole floor. Doesn’t matter what time I enter the male facilities, but i can be assured of a cloud of smoke, all the cubicles occupied, the sound of newspaper/video games/movies. The receptionist at my company (god bless her, she’s a national treasure), can be relied upon to be surfing the internet, doing online shopping, chatting, basically anything but receiving (receptioning?). Working hard, or hardly working? 🙂
refresh and cheers, we almost arrive the middle stage of socialism, to reach the full maturity of communism,your hard working spirit will be highly appreciated……
I lived in Beijing before I moved to Chengdu. And here I noticed that people are kinda more relaxed and easy going and are not in a constant rush like folk in Beijing. I also heard from friends in China that Sichuanese have the reputation to be lazy.
What I saw so far: in Chengdu sometimes it takes quite a while until you have your meal in a restaurant. Also at my work here in Chengdu as engineer partly I have to work with ancient outdated master data, because as we all know keeping data up to date is actual work… And yeah I saw sleeping people as well in office.
40 hours? Tons of people in Chengdu are “working” 60+ hours a week!

This is hilarious and so true.
