How much do you really work?Follow

So you want a day off?

So you want a day off ? Let's take a look at what you're asking for:

There are 365 days per year available for work . There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work.

Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 mins every day on coffee break that accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a one hour lunch period each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave.

This leaves you only 20 days available for work. We are off for 5 days holiday per year, so your available time is down to 15 days. We generously give you 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and i'll be dammed youu're gonna take that day off ! ! ! !

So... I guess it was unfair to ask for those two weeks off...

Smiley: confused

A one hour lunch period doesn't use up 46 days until you've worked for 1104 days.

Out of 261 days available for work, 1 hour per day for lunch uses up 10.875 days.


I'm going to assume the rest of your math is equally poor.

Give credit where it's due. This is a crappy cut&paste, not his own original work.

You don't really expect a cut&paste artist to check the authenticity of the math, do you?

Yep cut&paste not goin' to lie, can't expect me to count.

It is supposed to be a joke. The error lies in multiplying lunch break, coffee break, etc. by 365 days, instead of by the remaining number of work days.

Do days off really count?

I had the entire labour day weekend off and my parents extended an invite to me to come down for the weekend. I catch a bus down and finally get there at 1am friday morning. I goto sleep and get woken up at 7am to be told that the real reason they brought me down was to help shingle the house.

So I spent the majority of my weekend hauling shingles up and roofing. Though I did get a break yesterday to go out fishing.

To be fair though the compensated me by suprising me with Nine Inch Nails tickets for helping.

If you exclude holidays, an average full time worker (40 hours a week)will work 86.6667 days a year.

Subtract 260 hours or 10.8333 days for one hour lunch breaks

My math sucks, and yet I still feel entitled to at least two months a year vacation.

I'm picturing Bhodi's mom at the ticket counter:

"Excuse me young man. Do you have any tickets for the 'Nine.. Inch.. Nails' band? They're for my son, you see... he enjoys their musical combo."

I work about as much as this guy does.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.
Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Funniest part about this is the fact that most people do this, and that the interviewers he was talking to accepted it.

Great movie BTW...
