The workweek of a (Guatemalan) coworker.

A few weeks ago, I was chitchatting with my one (Guatemalan) coworker who inspired the diablo joke when it was slow, and he mentioned something about needing to work more hours, and I asked him how many hours he worked this past week, and he said 60, and then I asked him how many people in his family he supported back home.

And, he said his parents, and also his two siblings, and that he was paying for his brother to go to high school.

"It's not like it is here," he was like.
