By law in Germany you cannot work more than 40 hours per week. There are some exceptions but usually it’s downright illegal for employers to request it.

I demand we lower it to 20 and let AI do the rest of the work.

People in many jobs already work 20 hours in reality. We should just make it official.

Well, 60h is the limit. 6 days at 10h each max. The 40h figure is the long term limit.
