Three day work week

that's objectively not healthy for the human body

burnout, sleep cycle, general laziness on the days off. No good.

If you can work remotely then your job is in danger of being outsourced. There are plenty of people in the world that will do your job for less money.

I just don't see it-in my business. In consulting engineering deadlines are tight. Compe ion is cut throat. Traditionally its 45 to 50 per week and more at the deadline.

The client would have to demand it but the compe ion would outwork you, bolster their rep and take you market share.

Doesn't work for my business either. Gotta be open and ready to go. Essential businesses are essential.

But can they speak English where it's intelligible? I hate dealing with companies that hire people with whom I can't understand. It sucks to be that way, but I don't have time for it. I actually hang up on them and call back if I can.

4 day a week as long u worked 38hrs fulltime worker or fulltime rostered hours, then any hours or shifts u picked up for that week should be paid OT...thats what some of the workers at my workplace is on...OT is where the money is....then again some workplaces dont allow u to work +10hr shifts...

Unless you work maybe for a government en y, or have a business that after years of hard work now runs itself, I don't see how anyone makes a decent living working 40 hours a week

Accent and/or rhythm can make the agent unintelligible

Another problem, as serious, is ty mics that have little or no high frequency, so the agent speaking through a pillow.

Recorded announce voice and voice menu can be clear and sharp, then get finally handed to an agent with ty mic not in front of mouth.

You couldn’t be more wrong, but it really depends on the industry

Happening big time in transportation design engineering field
Spain is the one I am most aware of
Design build projects which tend to be sweat shoppy

Sweat shop civil engineers? Really?

Design build the contractor pays the bill
Less $$ on design more for the builder
I will not work design build (well I have not and say I won’t but Everyman has a price I suppose)
I prefer design bid build public sector work
Stay away from developer work too which is similar
In theory public sector work is based on the most qualified proposers but there can be issues with that too. Let’s just say it helps if the public sector clients like the project manager or the engineering firm.
And there are many ways for engineers to endear themselves to clients.

The companies seem to like it too.

I don't doubt it whatsoever. Actually it's a pretty good idea. This is how contractors many times out-contract the contract.
