40hrs? Kinda slack for the corp world, but...

 

How much time do you spend commuting and how much wear and tear on your vehicle from that, how much gas? Time at corporate functions, entertaining clients, road shows, and cooking something for the latest potluck for x-mas/thanksgiving/Bob's retirement? Travel for meetings, time shopping for and money spent on "professional wardrobe", various professional association dues and/or continuing ed? Opportunity cost on the big pow days in winter and bluebird spring days at the crag. Extra money spent on quick/easy to prepare food versus cooking because you are short on time and lunchtime restaurant meal because you forgot lunch or were too lazy/rushed to make it beforehand.

 

Just so you can see your job migrate to asia within the next decade, your pension go unfunded while the CEO rakes in 7 figures, or watch as your continued employment rides on the outcome of a SCOTUS ruling (my current situation).
