Huh, in tech companies?

[Freak_NL]

Absolutely. Totally normal in the Netherlands. I do this (28 hours). My wife too (32 hours). We've got a kid to raise and a house to look after. We earn more than we need, so why work more hours?

[amrocha]

That’s awesome. I chose Japan as my place to live, but NL was a close second. I’ll have to think about it again next time I move.

[EtCepeyd]

Wow, amazing. Super progressive.

As I believe Deadpool said in the most recent Deadpool and Wolverine movie - ‘The Dutch are never going to the moon, but damn do they know how to live.’

It's not only common you can in many instances force your employer to lower your hours and keep you on.

Think I'm starting to see why so many people immigrate to Europe. European labor laws and lifestyles are so reasonable. No wonder American life expectancy is so bad.

Switzerland too. It's pretty common for parents to work 80% or 60%.

[chgs]

Is that typically shorter days or fewer days?

[snovv_crash]

Fewer days.

[dopidopHN]

Yah, France as well. My boss was at 30h / week.

[gloflo]

Belgium and Germany too.
