It means nothing. Had a permanent position in a big Portuguese company and everyone in the whole team was working 12 hours plus per day.

Is uncommon to have people in Portugal working less than 40 hours. Tried to find a study to put some numbers in context of the reality I know. In the link Under "Duration of work" you can see that 78.6% of people work either 40 hours or more. http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/observatories/eurwork/compara...
