You didn't explicitly have a clause saying something like "40 hour work week, Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM"? Pretty standard where I live (Sweden), making this type of shenanigans virtually impossible (at least I haven't heard of this being a thing). I mean, it may not say "you have WORK these 8 hours a day", but they expect you to be available for this job exclusively.
