No one should work 40 hours a week except maybe first year hires.
Then you SHOULD be earning holidays, vacation days, personal days, sick days that lower your average working hours over the year while increasing your pay.
By year 20 or 25 at any job you should be working a clean 26 hours a week and be grandfathered into having almost whatever you want off. 4 weeks of vacation a year or more. 4 weeks of sick leave. 3 weeks of personal days.
If you've been there 30 years you should be working about half the time and just showing up more as a favor than an obligation.
