    There is no "siesta break" in Spain. Perhaps that was normal decades ago, but not even my parents had that. I believe that's just a cliché. Normal working hours here are starting at 7-9am, 1h lunch break, and ending at 5-7pm. 40h a week. If you work for the public administration usually you have 8 to 3pm and 35h per week.

      In Spain, the 2 to 5 pm break isn't electible. It just means you have a shitty schedule xD bc you work in the mornings and afternoons, but you get paid ordinary salary. So that break is wasted time. Companies don't have beds or sofas to sleep on (it would be thoughtful though haha). No one I know who works that schedule likes it ^^U It persist bc lots of stores and companies have that opening hours. It makes sense in some places here in summer, where 2 to 5 pm is so hot you can't make physical effort and need to be inside, sheltered from the heat. That schedule, we call it split schedule (horario partido).

      They are mostly employees of the regulatory authority "Ordnungamt". The regulatory authority is an agency that deals with matters within a community or a city. Stationary traffic, garbage, noise emissions, and such things. And yes, it's of course about illegal waste disposal in the environment. Waste disposal costs money, and there are always idiots who think they need to dump their garbage just anywhere. All citizens pay for disposal. So it makes sense to take a closer look and see who caused the costs. So this job makes totally sense.

    The siesta hours in Spain are a bit different. They mostly only apply for stores and restaurants, which actually close from 2 to 5 to have proper eating and siesta. This happens because originally most of the time a single person did all the shifts, so they had to have a bigger break time. In other jobs like in offices, most people work 9 to 5 without the "siesta" break.

    Hello Loic! Love your stuff!!
    As a Japanese man living in Korea, the Korean drinking thing after work is called "hwé-shik" (회식), although every Korean above drinking age uses that word as an excuse to "drink while discussing business".
    But it's not a "fun bonding" thing as you said, many of the workers actually dislike it because of the hierarchical structure of Korean companies. And you REALLY gotta kiss your boss' ass HARD. It's the same in Japan, which we call "nomikai" (飲み会).
    Recently with generations changing the hweshik and nomikai culture is disappearing for the mental (and physical with all the drinking) health of the workers. Some higher ups prefer this too, like my boss, who'd prefer to spend that at home or Friday evenings with his kids! Oh, did I mention most nomikais and hweshiks are on Fridays? So you get to enjoy your weekend hungover (fun!).

    Hi Lou, love your content. One thing you forgot to mention was how cultures discuss salaries. In the states, openly discussing how much you make to other co-workers is not only frowned upon, but can get you fired. It’s considered so personal that even with most family members or friends it’s not discussed. In Colombia 🇨🇴 where I was born however, it is very openly discussed (from what I remember) and even strangers ask you “how much you make?”

      In Australia too it's historically been frowned upon to discuss salary and companies were even allowed to put salary secrecy clauses into their contracts. But the law changed last year that made that illegal in new contracts, because it's a blatantly unfair practice that stops people from being able to organise and demand to be paid what they're worth!

    Spain’s lunch breaks aren’t for siesta by design, but taking a nap during lunch break is still possible and even a sensible thing to do for some.
    Small-business retail is usually closed from 1-2pm to 4-5pm. The reason might not be siesta per se, but the egregiously late dinner hours (9-10pm) make it so that people tend to buy groceries and stuff after office hours.
    One important thing to consider is time is shifted at least 1 hour too late, being that Spain is misplaced in Central European Time since 1940 because Franco wanted Spain to be in line with German time during nazi regime. And it stuck. Daylight savings time and being closer to the tropic makes it so that dusk in summer hits well beyond 10pm, making it customary to dine out late. E.g. restaurants throughout Spain rarely serve dinner before 8pm.
    While we’re talking summer, it is dangerous to be out and about in the densely populated south coast from 12-4pm, at ~40°C. People just won’t and shouldn’t work in these extreme conditions, elders are instructed to stay in etc. so it mostly makes no sense to run any kind of outdoors business (and there’s A LOT of that in Spain).
    All in all, being that the workday starts at 8-9am and ends at 7-8pm. The reasonable thing to do with those big lunch breaks is to take a good nap after lunch while sleeping less at night. It’s particularly telling that the evening news start at 8.30-9pm and late night TV usually starts at around 11pm lasting until well past midnight. Yes, workdays too.
    Thanks to Franco, to intense heat and to lasting daylight, considering retail and hospitality are big economy drivers, Spain’s day schedule is tits up compared to anywhere else in Europe. Italy and Greece fare similarly, except they do belong to their natural time zones which eases things off a bit.

    Talk about weird jobs - in Singapore, during the pandemic, they created the job of 'safe distancing enforcement officers' to police the public areas as there were so many people out of work and the government was trying to create new jobs and tackle the spread of Covid at the same time. Needless to say, the people who took these jobs (usually those who were very working class and not very educated) often became over-zealous with their new found power and went over the top power crazy and they became so hated in Singapore during that period. There were horror stories of these safe distancing officers trying to separate husband and wife in public even though they sleep in the same bed and even separate parents from their infants - like there was a total absence of any kind of logic or common sense and that's the kind of ridiculous crap that can only happen in Singapore.

However I would gladly take her vacation time! I have 4 weeks including the shut down during Christmas while she has 9 weeks of vacation (including RTT because she works 39 hours per week and the extra 4 hours over 35 are pqid vacation)!

    American here, lived in Germany for a few years. Another difference I noted was in "customer service." In the US, it's generally expected to be friendly and enthusiastic with customers, "put on a happy face." In Germany, no one was going to fake a smile to make the customer feel more welcome. That's not to say people were always grumpy at their jobs or rude to customers, they just weren't going to fake it to get a good customer review. The important thing is that they do their job well, not how much they fake a smile throughout it.
    I'd also posit that part of the issue in the US isn't just the companies/owners making their workers work too much. It's often influenced by the customers. Where I live, Walmart used to be open 24/7. (Covid changed that). It was convenient to have the store open in case you needed to get something suddenly at 3 am. Convenient, but not necessary. But I guarantee people were upset when Walmart switched to closing at midnight, because that option for convenience was suddenly gone, even if they almost never used it.
    Customer expectations and demands often influence the companies and what they'll force the workers do to please the customers.

    In my country you only get half an hour for lunch. My french teacher had a culture shock when we were learning about food, and she said in France it's 2 hours... Well, in my industry it's pretty lax and nobody is watching whether you came on time or not, as long as you work that lost time later... but I know places, that you are timed to the seconds *cough cough* supermarkets *cough cough* and you get reprimanded if you clock in later. When I worked there, I usually just ate small little sandwich in the changing room, cause there was literally no time to go to the food court to buy any warm meal and eat it too in just 30minutes. Enjoy your lunch hours XD

    The professional mourners were very common in Europe in 19th century. I think this is one of the oldest jobs. If a person was rich they would employ them.
    Th other weird job I heard of is queue keepers. I think they became popular in the USA and mainly done by students or retirees. You pay the person to stand in the queue instead of you. This is mostly common when a new and very popular product comes to market.

    Also I thought, that French do have a siesta, because I assure you the breaks they take in the middle of the day are close to those in Italy and in Italy if you happen to need something - even medicine - during siesta hours, you better be prepared to wait a ton of time to get it.

    Living in a small town in Spain with everything within walking distance, it was not uncommon to leave during the workday to get some personal business done while the shops were open: buying stamps, picking up clothing at the dry-cleaners, dropping off an item that needed repair, etc. Also, doing the same for things that were needed at work, like buying a replacement lightbulb because one burned out, or getting a cake at the pastry shop for a co-workers birthday, ink for the printer, a duplicate key made for a new employee, stuff like that. Also I wanted to mention that the downtime of siesta in Spain is offset by the evening/night work hours that extended almost until bedtime. Spain's normal work day is in two parts: breakfast to siesta, and then siesta to dinner. Breakfast is right after waking up, and dinner is right before going to bed at night. USA work day is in three parts: breakfast to lunch, lunch to dinner, and dinner to bedtime.

    Hello Loïc !
    I am french and i do work more than 35 hours a week, and it is not conferred as overtime, and hopefully it is not a particular case 😂
    The thing is, if your working contract asks you to work more than 35 hrs a week, you will have recovery time every month - like half a day of recovery, see that like extra holidays 😉
    And there are many other working contracts - engineers are mainly on that types - where you have no “minimum time” to do, but if your job is not done, you’re fired 😅
    And in that cases people work way too much and more than 40 hrs a week 😬

    • @akaviri5
      @akaviri5 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That recovery time you get when working more than 35hs/week (RTT) is calculated to compensate overtime (so working 40hs/week will get you 5hs/week compensation) using those is mandatory, so in theory everyone should work 35hs/week in average (unless they work more than their contract demands and never declare it ofc)

    In many workplaces we also have one hour non paid break for lunch at work.
    Something that we actually also have, in some workplaces, is a 2 to 3 hours lunch break (also non paid) just to can go lunch at home with our families. Our childs also have this break in their lectures to can go home for lunch. But this is not in all our workplaces nowadays and definitely not for "siesta". That's a bullshit sprouted by foreign bad intentionate medias trying to call us lazy. Our working day still has to be 8h not breaks included.
