Why it is impossible to work eight hours a day, five days a week
There are 365 days in a year. In a leap year 366. Let us be generous and begin with 366.
Days in the year 366 days
Eight hours of sleep each day equals a total of 122 days
366-122 = 244 days
Eight hours of rest/leisure time a day equals a total of 122 days
244-122 = 122 days
You don't work Saturday and Sunday,
so subtract 104 days
122-104 = 18 days
You have an hour for lunch each working day which equals 10 days
18-10 = 8 days
Of these eight working days, you must surely have at least one week's holiday a year.
Which leaves you with a single day to work on.
Christmas day.
And nobody works on Christmas day.
