Abstract: The comparison of the relationship to working time of two groups of engineers opposes a norm of extensive availability unfavourable to women's careers in France, to a limited and reversible norm whose appropriation is less sexually differentiated in Finland. In the Finnish company, the different temporal arrangements (long weeks, short days) are based on the objectivation of working time and its sharing, underlining the role of the legal definition of working time.
