that is hours clocked in I guess, there's a similar pattern in Italy but they are not working more they are staying at the office longer

they chose to so that they can skip other obligations (family for example) and as you said it's mostly a men thing

I'm in a professional full-time position and nominally I should work 40 hours but actually we work less especially now that we are working from home

nobody will ask you to do something on a friday afternoon "I'll see you on monday"
