I think it's crazy that the average work week in the UK has gone from 35 hours being full-time, when I was growing up, to 37.5 hours when I joined the workforce, to 40 hours today being considered full-time.

That is some bullshit, right there.

A five hour increase over 30+ years.

But hey, everyone's more stressed putting strain on families and the systems around them, obesity is higher, productivity nationally is down, so those extra five hours must be worth it, right? Right?
