So if you read my post it was a question.

Thanks you confirmed what I thought 37.5 Hours a week is borderline part time [...]

I've never worked more than 37.5 hours a week, both private and public sector.

This of course does not include overtime, but my contracted hours (and those of my colleagues) are 37.5hours.

Some colleagues (both private and public sector) are/were doing even less across 4 days.

So disagree on 37.5hours being borderline part time; it is fairly standard, especially in professional roles.

Wow - I think I work 37.5 hours a week if I have a day off. Sure my contract says 40 i think but has a “whatever time needed to do the job” clause.

Yup

9-5 is an 8 hour day, so 40 hours for a normal 5 day week which is pretty much every traditional office job.
Public sector is often 37.5 or thereabouts, and only really 30 minutes less per day than that 40 hour week.

The graph has minor visual problems, very poor any Scale, it has bunched up time . They select avg inflation above spending for a group, don’t portray a continuous range of time, deceit the viewer by manipulating the visual data, to exaggerate the rate.
They should have used two graphs a bar chat for range and/or 2 line for yearly inflation v spending.

This? I'm still confused though, how is it not representative?

Don't get me wrong, there are times where I work a LOT more. Sometimes closing in on 100 hour weeks (this does include long haul travel though. When I visit laboratories, they are normally on a very tight schedule or paid by day, so have to complete my work as quickly as possible; hence having to work as needed..it is paid of course as overtime or toil). But you don't have to, I chose to partly because I like my job and partly because of the money and travel.

I think if someone was recruiting me and I had to work more than 37.5hours/week it'd be a definite no.

Retired RAF Officer, Trials Officers using stats at Boscombe Down to analyse weapons, avionics and software, wrote the first and only Buccaneer Flight Planning program, wrote MTUSpeed which was a more popular downland than the Quake Demo! BSc (Hons) in Astrophysics.

Why are you so sure of yourself?

That graph is distorted, not telling the story it should be but the story they want you to see.

Here is an example same data different story.

lol what is various governments.

There have been only two governments in power since 1949, why hide it, why suddenly put both parties together as various. Are they trying to hide the underfunded NHS during the labour years? (lib and tory government for 5 years which has been listed in graph).

This graph is so distorted it can't be trusted, unbelievable fake story it is trying to tell. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

This country is broke because of both parties and policies, it is on a downward path. It is being violated by different groups.

So on a five day week you’re doing 7.5 hours a day!

I can tell you now as a former department head in said private sector ( I’m old enough to be semi retired now ) my collective hours were a lot more than 37.5 . Most weeks were 50 plus and even more , ok I was on a massive bonus structure but even so ! All my team were on 45 hour weeks .


I think you might find that if the general public realise you’re all on 37.5 hr weeks and want a 17% and 35% pay rise a lot of sympathy will go out of the window . Even if you get it (and you won’t ) who’s going to pay for it ?
