36 hours across 4 days seems like kinda a lot to me, would've expected 30-32
It sounds like 4 ten-hour days with an unpaid hour lunch. The real mental health benefit is probably the extra day off, not the actual hours worked. Plus reduced commute time is a big factor.
4 nine hour days likely. Lunch is just part of the workday in salaried positions in Europe usually.
