Learnt the hard way on this one I have.
Always ask at interview what the expectations are. Otherwise, it ends up like this.
BTW - how many hours are they talking about? Or were? I'd say 37.5 is normal.
I used to think asking would put people off at interview but now I think stuff it it might be a showstopper. For instance, if gig is local then no biggie that its 8 hrs rather than 7.5 NORMALLY. But if its 90 mins drive away then it makes a bit of a difference to whether its doable or not IMHO.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Another good reason to get this confirmed up front is that what's expected from the client, or contracted, is often very different to what happens on the floor. I've worked in many places, contractor and perm, where people stay until 6 every day just because everyone else does and it would be 'seen' to be bad if they left on time.
Ridiculous.Comment
