The Swiss work a 42-hour work week instead of the typical American 40-hour one (or the 35-hour one like the French). There’s a reason for this. It’s called thoroughness to the point of pointlessness. For example, requiring an entire office to attend a 3-hour printer training session that includes everything from learning where toner waste ends up to how a printer converts RGB color to CMYK.
Despite this in-depth training, the following day, I needed to print something and couldn’t figure out how to turn the printer on because that wasn’t covered in the 3-hour session. I mean who wants to do something as simple as press an “on” button when you can analyze percentage of black toner use versus cyan?

I thought in Europe they worked less - and tooks lots more vacation.
P.S. You're funny
They do take lots more vacation. But they also spend countless hours processing for example, my yearly residence permit, which takes 4 months to renew each year.
I want the 40 hour American work week! Where do I sign up?
Yeah, I would say most Americans work much more than that...
Americans, Japanese and even Singaporeans. I think every single one of them loves to work over time and they are all happy about it. I admit, I don't want to work over time unless there's an overtime pay! :P I think I'll try to implement a 42 hour work once we started renting out our CBD Office Rental Singapore Anyway, great post Chantal! Keep it up
Same culture in Asian countries like Singapore, HK and Japan. Example I work as property agent for the upcoming project trilive at kovan in Singapore we work really hard to make sure all beautiful units are sold!
Thanks for sharing this post, I am also checking out some wonderful Swiss offices. I've been doing some free agent stuff lately and I've learned a lot from reading some of your post Chantal.
Swiss office is almost similar as the one in Singapore specially this new condo in Sengkang Singapore.
