뜻
Working all day and night.
문화적 배경
Dutch people value efficiency. Working the clock around is seen as a sign of dedication but also a warning sign of burnout. In Flanders, this phrase is also used, but there is a slightly stronger emphasis on the 'work-life balance' culture. The German equivalent is very common in business contexts. In international business, 'working around the clock' is a standard phrase used to describe global teams handing off work.
Context is key
Only use this when the work is truly intense and continuous.
Don't over-dramatize
