too many and never enough
Depends on how you define work. I do my dayjob for maybe 2 hours a day at most and then freelance with the rest of my working day. so I'd average 5 hours of work a day betwen the two jobs.
I've had days of maybe 15 minutes of actual work, and 10 hour days. very variable. I used to have a job paid 8 hours with literally 45 minutes of work a day. loved it, despite the low pay. way before WFH times though so it was a lot of time looking busy
I estimate about 4 or 5 hours of actual work per day. I'm a high level IT engineer. The rest of the time is just organization or resting my brain between difficult assignments.
I was previously an IT manager and averaged 11+ hours of work per day.
Mostly 2-3 hours of an 8 hour day. Once a week I have to go in guns blazing for 5 straight hours of work in a 10 hour shift.
Same. 3h or less usually. Love my colleagues, the work is fine. But the requirements are so low that I'm able to manage a startup during work hours 😌 #softwaredeveloper
7 and a half.
Being unemployed tends to be like that.
All 8 hours. It's a physical job, I'm on my feet all day, but it's one of the better ones I've had recently.
In an 8 hour day, I'd say probably 7 hours
The other hour probably bathroom trips, coffee/water breaks, occasional quick chats with coworkers throughout the day
I can't hit a full 8 hours actual work unless I do a 9 hour day.
Sometimes I have a shorter lunch break or try not to poop until I get home lol, so I can hit 8 hours quicker
My job requires me to work 7h a day. When I am working from home I will probably work 6h-6.5h since I will take two 15 minute breaks but otherwise there is nothing to distract me. If I work from the office however that number easily drops to 4.5-5h since I will be interrupted all the time by various issues and also just take more breaks due to others taking them as well.
Edit: I don’t really know how it is to work from a hole, but I know how to work from home
About 2.5 hours before lunch, then long 90 minute lunch, then maybe 3 hours. So I guess around 5.5 hours.
I'm stuck in the food service industry, so I work 9hr days 5 days a week :) All gruelling and soul-sucking, of course!
I drive a forklift in a warehouse. I probably work 6.5-7 hours a day.
referring to how much time working? or how much time I spend doing my job? I have no problem working in the garden or on the house – but having to do a job so I don’t starve or go homeless makes me a little resentful …
On average, about 5hrs a day. 2hrs on a slow day and 7hrs on a fast day.
As a rad tech, I work as little as 3 hours to as much as 8-9 on my 10 hour shifts
My days vary, depends on the amount of clients. 6-10hrs and I am doing physical labor so its at maximum 10-15% downtime
I find 4 hours a day ideal (if I have to work at all) and 6 hours optimal.
Depends a lot day to day. Sometimes like last week, 7 out of the 8 hours. Today, so far none. Not much useful to do, so just do useless trainings.
Education in a Title 1 school. I'm contracted five days for eight hours, but I probably work more like ten hours with before school and after school activities and additional stipend duties I've taken on. You don't get much in the way for downtime between meetings, grading, and planning.
Weekends are my time. Non-negotiable.
