When I consider that I leave the lab after a 10 hour day (plus breaks) and everyone is wondering why I leave already, 12 hour workdays or longer are the standard and at least 50% of the staff is here on weekends also, I do not wonder why they are more dangerous....
Despite of this we are only payed for 20h/week and the administration gives a sh*** about work regulations...
Kind regards from a academic biology lab in germany where the default working hours for a full time job are 40h a week or less.
