I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

I start working the moment I come to work and finish work when the place is closed, 6-12h. I work in a kitchen. Only times there might not be work is during the quiet season when we’ve managed to do a deep clean already the day before. But mostly I only work and then rest on my days off these days.
Only time I have for even thinking about my hobbies and friends are when I get two days off in a row once a month. Probably going to have to look for a new job before I burn out. These comments about only working for a couple hours a day are really making me envious.
Kitchens are always a grind, but you should be getting more time off than that. Freaking owner/operators get more time off than two days a month.
2 days off excluding weekends. Right? Right?
I get weekends (sat, sun) and 30 days off a year. Plus public holidays like Chrismas or Sylvester.
Thankfully Sundays are double pay in Finland, so we are always closed on Sundays. Then the second day off we have a random weekday (excluding friday and saturday). Monday off rotates so that everyone in the kitchen gets 1 Monday off once a month.
We also get vacation days, but mostly during the quiet season. Always working on public holidays, unless it’s the kind where people go to their summer cabins, out of the city.
