British bosses are the "hardest working in Europe"
Britain’s bosses are the hardest working in Europe, according to a report which was commissioned by business printer manufacturer Lexmark.
The report found that 33 per cent of UK bosses work every weekend, 50 per cent never see their children in the week and 12 per cent never have time to eat lunch.
The survey found that the average UK boss works 9.5 hours a day, while a third said they would take home work every weekend.
Four out of the ten UK bosses thought that client lunches were a good use of time, compared with 68 per cent across all other countries.
According to Lexmark, nearly a quarter of UK bosses said they just print e-mails rather than just reading them on screen, which shows that they do not make things easy for themselves.
The report looked at 250 CEOs and Managing Directors in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Scandinavia. (CD)
