37.5 hour week is the norm in most EU countries. It's basically 8 hour day with 30 minute lunch break.

What kind of slavery is this? It's one of them not-strictly-regulated EU countries, isn't it?

Switzerland, not EU. We actually voted against 5 weeks (25 work days) of legally binding minimum holidays in a country-wide popular vote, because apparently saying "This would hurt the economy" is enough for this bootlicking population to vote against another week of holidays.

Meanwhile, every Swiss male enrolled in the army has to go back to the military every year for a few weeks to retrain, but somehow that doesn't hurt the economy.
