    I have a funny story about being a baby sleeping outside. I don't remember this myself of course as I was less than 1 year old but my mother used to tell about it a lot. It was summer and there I was sleeping in the pram on our yard or so my parents thought. Until a teen aged boy from next door house rang the bell and asked my parents if the baby is supposed to be crawling on the lawn as I had managed to escape the pram 😂

    The most common full workweek in Finland is 37,5h , so 7,5h/day + 30min lunchbreak so working time is 8hrs, normally 7-15/8-16/9-17 , other variations exist.
    Also some people work 40h/wk, thats 8h + 30min lunchbreak for a working time of 8,5/h day, but then they usually also get extra days off, "pekkaspäiviä" , it's an old name for these, and they are separate from the normal holiday days we accumulate when in a steady employment.

      Is this also the case for doctors and especially for surgeons? it seems strange that surgeons work so "few" hours compared to other countries, especially surgeons like neurosurgeons who usually work impossible hours in many other countries😂

    With keeping babies sleeping outside is so good. My daughters slept outside and in the coldest winter nights we dressed her layers to stay warm. We put the pram in the kitchen facing the window. We opened it Nd colsed the kitchen door. She slept thru the night up to 10 hours. Many of us adults sleep with an open window all year round.

      Well, this is quite rare, even in Finland! 😅 Usually it's only daily naps outside, and night sleep indoors... 🫣😊 But no doubt: it surely is doable and healthy for the baby. Though you must have a baby monitor, of course. 😊

    Another commenter already wrote about the Finnish working hours, but I would like to add that the amount of working hours for a fulltime job per day or week (37.5 - 40) is usually determined by the collective labour agreement that has been agreed for that branch or sector. If the employer doesn't follow any collective agreement, the default is 40 hours per week as per our labour laws. We also have strict laws on how much overtime one is allowed to do per month and per year, but of course there are employers who try to break these rules. I never want to work overtime, unless it's stated in my work contract that I have to in some special cases.
    The norm is to have 5 weeks of paid vacation per year, of which four is held in the summer and one week in the winter. Some fields can have even more vacation time and some companies give you extra vacation if you have been with the company for a very long time.
    I work as a software engineer and have always had flexible working hours, meaning that we can start and end the day quite freely, as long as we work 37.5 h/week. Usually the recommendation has been to be available 9-15, so that your colleagues can reach you and meetings can be scheduled during that time. My schedule has usually been to start work at 7 o'clock, have only a very short lunch break at my computer and then leave work around 14:30 in the afternoon. I have worked 100 % from home for 4.5 years now, so quite flexible working conditions. It of course varies a lot how flexible your working hours can be depending on what your work is.

    And when it comes to being naked in the sauna, many of us go to mixed sauna with our friends/friend couples and there's definitely nothing sexual so it doesn't feel akward. But maybe it's because generally in Finland nudity isn't a big deal like in many other countries. It's just a naked human body, the most natural thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

    The work hours different a lot, I've been used to working 12h days a lot too and sometimes when working at festivals etc, it can be 16 hours of work, few hours between and then starting next shift but I think that's common everywhere in the world if you work in the festival and music production etc. With my one job I used to work almost 200 hours a month but because of that I could take almost 3 months vacation during the summer because I had worked so many overwork hours, I had the option to take the money and keep working or have longer vacation.

    Some workers in heavy physical labor (construction, foundry) start at 7 am and have a 30-45 min lunch so they can digest before they start working. The day is done around 3.30 pm. Finns do shorter days than many other people, but it is easier to concentrate on the job when you have time to eat, sleep and play.

    I really can't work for longer than 16:00 in the evening. I get really tired and my inner clock have already ended this day.
    But we have one week with opening at 06:45 and then we end that day at 15:15. Then the next week is from 07:45 - 16:15...
    So the last 15 minutes after 16:00 is only for closing down the place, and the time 06:45 is because we need to open and start up to 07:00. But I would NEVER take an extra customer within these 15 minutes... No way.... So if I open at 07:00 and my cusis outside waiting already when I'm arriving at 06:45, we'll that person will have to wait outside and I will not even talk to them. But at 07:00, I will become the most polite and nice person that they have ever met... 3 minutes before, is that person just air for me, I will not acknowledge it at all..... 😊

    13:40 This is for transparency reasons. Every food item is always priced per kilo or per liter. It has to be shown on the price tag. When you weigh your own produce (this only applies to fruit and vegetables, as fish and meat has different and stricter hygiene standards), you know how much it actually costs. I know people who regularly make sure their grocer calibrates their scales, by bringing their own 1 kilo weight with them :D It's a little insane and not at all common, but perfectly within their rights :D

    Yup, babies sleep outdoors even in winter. Lots of layers, wind cover on pram. thermometer and other monitoring equipment means they are safe. Fresh air means better, longer sleep. It's like well-insulated little igloo. Mom told us our sister was such a heavy sleeper outdoors one time she didn't even stir when snow began to melt and water dripped into the pram she was sleeping in...

    The thing about leaving work at 4pm is usually for office type jobs, people who work at example the stores or supermarkets have around the same time of work hours but if the store is i.e open for 16 hours, the first worker gets in at the morning and opens the store and is there for their work time (7-8 hours) and the next worker checks in around the time when the morning worker is checking out and they are in work the next 7-8 hours and close the store, obviously if there is a smaller store somewhere that only has one worker then they do long hours, also many restaurants do long hours aswell but usually cafes are open during the morning to mid-day and then close while bars are open later in the day and stay up until midnight or in some cases over but yeah if you try to get any of your paperwork done there is usually no way to get them done by an office worker past 4pm, sometimes if you have designated worker they might take some work to home and answer some emails etc, offices are also usually closed during saturdays and sundays, also lot of stores close earlier during the weekends, in the bigger cities where they have more workers the stores are usually open more and some may have stores open 24/7 but as stated before usually the hours they work are still the same.

    I don´t know anyone who speaks while inhaling.
    It totaly depends where you work, do you take your shoes off or not. In many fields we have to use safety shoes while working.
    Once again it depends what kind of work you are doing how long the shifts are. I drove taxi almost 15 years and our shifts were 9-12 hours normaly.
    Well at least if you start new job or if you meat some new people like your friends friend, you´ll introduce yourself.

    • @bslizardette4669
      @bslizardette4669 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As a Finn, it's very hard to notice the inhaling speech as it's not really that pronounced in most cases (although, I've also ran into couple people who REALLY inhale occasionally, usually to emphasize). I have started noticing it more lately as I've paid attention to it.
      Many words can be said with either outward or inward projection and the clearest difference in these can be felt in the diaphragm; it squeezes when exhaling while speaking and expand when you inhale while speaking. Usually this goes unnoticed by us Finns, because that just changes the tone of the word and we don't think about it. I even do it when speaking English! I find myself mid-sentence drawing the vowel longer for just a moment and keep on talking. It can sound silly to people who are used to taking short breaths in between.

    I don't really agree with the name asking thing, that sounds like it depends on people. I was always taught to introduce myself properly and in my experience the different thing about finns is that we use first names primarily.
    We don't really say "Hello Mr. This-and-that" or "Excuse me, Ms. Example, can you help me with this?"
    Its pretty much always "Hey Lauri, so how long have you known Hanna?" and "Sorry to bother, but is Aleksi (the boss) here?"

    • @bslizardette4669
      @bslizardette4669 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I guess it depends. In my family we recognize frequent first name use as a manipulation technique, so we tend to bristle at it. Of course there are situations where names are needed, such as getting someone's attention from distance but my sister and I at least actively avoid using personal names. The first name over surname is universal here, indeed, and I think a great example of Finnish equality.
      For clarity, yes "Hey Lauri, is Aleksi here?" is perfectly fine for me (even though, I personally would knock and wait for Lauri to notice me before asking and thus no need for his name), but "Good morning, Lauri.", "How's your day going, Lauri.", "Lauri! Is it busy today?" just... no. My sister actually grew a great dislike to one of her ex-colleagues because they would always approach her like that and it just felt so fake to her. In Japan I've had real tough time having to constantly address other people by names because it's so unnatural to me.
