    9 x 4 = 36

    IANI (I am not Icelandic) but that’s my guess based on currently-accepted mathematical models.

      Yeah, but there’s also no way anyone in the Nordics would be fine with a nine-hour workday. There’s something clearly wrong here.

      I’d rather guess that they’re working a five-day workweek but have cut the hours per day from 8 to 7.2, or 8 hours Mon-Thu and 4 hours on Friday or the like. The article just comes off as weird.

        Oh yeah? As a swede I am already at work for 9 hours every weekday. 1 of those hours are breakfast+lunch. Wouldn’t mind staying another hour if I could go there one day less each week.

        That’d be a 5-day workweek. Sorry you can’t imagine someone only wanting to work 4 days a week, even if it means they have to work a little longer, it seems inexorably reasonable to me 🤷‍♂️

          I think it’s far more likely that the article that doesn’t know what “sweep under the rug” means also got other stuff wrong.
