Longer hours, shorter life

I've not looked into how accurate this study is but I guess it's telling us what we all knew anyway. I've not worked above 55 hours a week (in the US, anything under is considered part-time ) for a long time but for those who do, do you really care if it shortens your lifespan?

I think there is prob more a correlation between the type of work rather than just hours. I might work longer than average but can eat some healthy made overpriced ****. Where as someone in a factory working maybe only 70 hours might have to eat junk and work more anti social hours/stress etc

An initial look at the study seems to suggest it's more complex than that. Those kinds of factors would have been the first things they looked at I imagine.

You're contracted to 37.5 hours, doing half of that, and not breaching your contract? How?

Probably a poorly run business, as long as the work gets done by the end of the week then management don't care. Tbh there are loads of people who take the **** working from home. A mate of mine spends half the day playing games and whatnot as he can do the work in 4. They don't want to ask for more work or take initiative as they are so used to doing the bare minimum that more work would feel like an injustice.

The average worker at my firm is now 160% productive.

How is this measured? It reads like an office buzzphrase.
