Reduced Work Week and Compressed Work Week are a (relatively) new concept that some Annualised Hours Contract workplaces are doing
Reduced: You work 4 days of 7.5 hours, adding up to 30 hours weekly, you get paid the same as if you worked 5 days of 7.5 hours (37.5 hours)
Compressed: You work 4 days of 9.5 hours, adding up to 37.5 hours weekly, you get paid the same as if you worked 5 days of 7.5 hours (37.5 hours)
Worth it to move. People are always surprised at the ‘low pay’ when you you move overseas but don’t ever take into account how much of your paycheck goes to everyone else but you first (in the US), and relative cost of living.
IMHO money/pay outside the US has more value, in the US it’s just a revolving door of debt.
Yeah, my European relatives earn less than us, but they are always traveling to other countries and going on local trips, while we are just getting by week to week
