There seems something wrong with the basic premise
here. Long work hours have much more to do with
inefficient administrative systems, a lack of
corporate commitment to sufficient & effective
training, company cultures which reward employees for
looking busy more than tangible results, and to a
lesser degree ... general incompetence and poor work
habits. More so, certainly, than any individual level
of "ambition" ... and though my personal experience is
in the American market, I see no reason why European
companies (many of which are now held by American
corporate parent Inc.s) should be any different.
