The survey found the sectors with the most severe long-hours culture were transport, where 52% of managers averaged at least two hours of unpaid overtime a day, and IT, at 45%. Long hours were least prevalent in central and local government, where only 27% of managers reported working two hours or more overtime.
That\’s a real surprise, isn\’t it?
What it does show is that those in the public sector are actually doing less work than those in the private: so they should be paid less.
Mind you, they still complain a lot about getting paid less.
