A company might find that its much more efficient when employees work 45h weeks or don't have holidays too. But peoplel decided that 40h work weeks and holidays every year are Nice To Haveā„¢ so laws were made to ensure those things.

The responsibility to follow that democratic decision is placed on all companies, not just on those few companies that need 45h employees in order to be profitable - although it's only a significant burden for those companies of course.

Companies that aren't sustainable under existing regulations need to disappear and make place for companies that are.
