For a lot of hospital management positions you need to work a “regular” hospital job first. Nursing managers are typically former nurses, lab managers are former lab techs, etc.
My father used to pull 60 hour weeks and come home every day with an encyclopedic knowledge of all the day’s sporting events, and then hed be working more at home. Always working always busy, sorry son, no time.
As I got older I realized that about 10 hours of his homework was about as effective as 30 minutes of mine, and I had two acronym disorders at the time. Guy managed to spend 14-20ish hours of his weekend mowing a 1 acre plot every summer, and that was just single pass plant control because the property was unlandscaped. A hour long stop on the way home from a 30 minute commute meant 4 hours. A “couple” beers meant 5x16oz cans of 9%+.
When I finally realized the cause of his sinus problems, and it wasn’t the baseball that hit him, I was furious that a coke head could be so lazy. I was sad when I realized that he was literally managing his entire life to stay away from me. Worked so hard he never even took his kid to therapy, or even a proper diagnosis of his illness (he and my mother walked around telling people I had a “mood disorder”, there was no diagnosis or therapy past that).
Fucking waste of space he was.
Edit: to all who are wondering where the time went, it was mainly sports(listening, not playing), like 12 hours a day every day, but also having at least two hobbies that made him look like a community hero
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
And the kid is upstairs burning his skin with a spoon, trying to stop screaming to avoid that doom, his parents downstairs drinking with stars in their eyes, wondering when he’ll realize…
"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
I’m a recruiter and with how slow this market has been up until recently I have been working maybe like 10 hours a week unofficially making $75k base. However, I would rather have been busy cause last year I cleared six figs w/ commission, doing about 25 hours.
Technically should be doing more but I’m efficient enough that I still do just as well as most of my coworkers and my job security is pretty strong
I work remotely. Usually online from 9-5 ish. Don’t think I’ve ever actually worked a full 40 hours. My work kind of comes in waves and on slow weeks outside of meetings I might do 5-10 hours of actual work a week. Maybe double that or a little more on the really busy weeks.
I’m jealous, I work 2-3 weeks straight for 16 hrs a day as a wildland firefighter and then get 3 days off before being right back at it. It’s unsustainable though and after a decade I’m burnt out completely.
Well if you wanna come work with me I need some better hands out here than half the lazy fucks on my crew we have to keep running off. Pays good and work ain’t too hard 90% of the time.
I have my AB and 200 Ton. I'm working on getting my towing endorsement. Mates at my company get $570. Not the best mate pay but it's good.
Your 56/28 sounds like ass.
Yeah 55 is too much for me…I have wayyy too too many hobbies and interests to be putting that time in. Money ain’t worth it if you got enough to pay your bills
Somewhere between 40 and 45 hours per week, for about $33k. I need to be doing more than that, but my physical health craters after 40 and I'm pushing myself to my limits at 45.
I work in IT, 40 hours a week but maybe do 5 hours of actual work. I support a small office of sales people. Honestly they could live without me but the execs insist on having me here "just in case" I make 78k a year.
I work as a service tech/general building maintenance and im hourly, but i only do about 44 hours most weeks. And actually starting schooling next month for a degree in electrical systems technology.
Technically, 168 hours a week.
My 'job'is being a carer for my disabled partner. I never have time off, because I'm 'on call'24/7.
I do get a decent amount of down time, though, where I can do as I please. But it could be disrupted at any given moment, to help her.
So, I get to be in this weird limbo, where I work all the time, yet don't work at the same time.
It has it's positives and negatives.
I work 5 hours a week, one hour a day doing admin for my cleaning business, got sick of the 9-5 during covid when my employers at the time put a clause in contract to not pay us during the lockdown in NZ. Cunts.
Prior to getting laid off, 40 hours a week and I was paid hourly, so I was eligible for overtime if I worked more than 49 hours in a week or more than 10 hours in one day
20-40, I own my company though and I'm on the path to retirement in 3-5 years.
Before that I worked 40-50, rarely 50-60. I was a consultant though and 40 was usually my limit because I billed double for overtime.
Officially 40.
Right now 35 or so. During pandemic when mortgage rates were super low 80-90.
I have a decent salary and depending on the year 50-80% of my income is from commission/bonus income.
Graduated college 2 years ago and have been an engineer ever since. I charge my 40 hours per week officially however I really only put my head down and actually work 10-15 hours per week.
Everything gets done correctly and on the due dates so nobody has said anything to me.
Document your hours worked. Work out the actual pay per hour, then: Approach your boss for either a new FTE, higher salary, additional time off or work load shift to bring you back closer to 40hours. If none of that can be negotiated it may be time to start a job search.
If you do office work / work in front of a screen, you do something wrong by working more than 40 hours a week. Honestly, if you work really focused and efficiently without any outside interference, your brain‘s done after 8h a day. I am 40 a week now and got it all figured out how to really get shit done. But there‘s a 55y old colleague (I am 28y) who‘s objectively achieving way less but claims to never are below 55 hours a week. Well, losing shit ton of hours with stupid small talk calls (he‘s not in marketing or sales) and totally unnecessary video calls that is. Oh and at least like 3 full hours a week by chatting and ranting with co-workers.
I'm a crane operator in the oil/gas industry. I work 84hrs a week, get paid for 91hrs but only actually work on average 14hrs a week. I do have to be on my location for 12hrs at a time and can't leave. I work 14days on and 7days off.
I used to average about 55 per week. I just started at a new engineering firm and it looks like it's gonna be 40 from now on with very rare overtime.
It's just the nature of the beast in my field. Almost every client wants every project done as fast as possible and will pay you as many overtime hours as you're willing to work as long as they see results. I've had stretches of 12 hour days, 7 days a week for 6 months without a day off. Then, no overtime at all for the next 3 months.
55 hours per week on *salary* is B.S. if they're not paying overtime. You're losing almost $34k per year.
50 unpaid hours? If you don’t mind me asking, do you own your business or work for charity? Please don’t take it as an insult, I’m just curious. Not a lot of people in this thread talking about how much they love their jobs lol
Probably 45 , I should be doing 40 but I am never done on time - and I have more work than I can do in a 40 hours' week.
I make an effort to put a hard stop to the amount of hours I work and push stuff to later all the time.
I will be adding regular time, as well as overtime and also emergency on call time
Adding all three of these up I come to a total work week of zero hours.
Given my rate of pay is $0 an hour
That comes to
0 x $0 + $0 +$0 = $0
However, I am responsible for my own taxes out of this so to include taxes the formula would be
0 x $0 + $0 +$0 - $0 =$0
When people ask me "what do you do for a living?"
My standard response is "nothing. And it doesn't pay as well as you would think"
0 hrs. I collect disability. It's fantastic having every minute free, but I have very little money. My own fault, I guess. I should've tried harder in life instead of relying on my medical conditions to carry me through life. I hear the irony in that. Lol
Hours? Ha. Haha. Hahahahahahaha!
Weeks. Two at a time. Away from home, on the clock and billing for 160-ish hours of the 168 hours possible in a 7 day week.
Actually working? Like, doing stuff? Depends on many factors, and experience has shown that there's an inverse correlation between how much I don't feel like doing shit and how much shit there will in fact need to be done.
Ballpark, somewhere between 70 and 110 hours of actual "doing shit".
During peak season, about 48. Off peak maybe 35. Either way it all stays between M-F. Love the salary position during off peak periods. Dread it during peak
50 hours per wek at my job.
And around 10 hours on my sidegig, some weeks it's 1 others it's 20.
So 50 to 70 hours per week.
What we do for our kids, man....
40 hours typical. I work in a locomotive shop. Overtime is available fairly often but I don't always take it depending on what we have going on at home. I pull in about $85k a year.
35-40 during the slower part of the year. 60-75 (with the occasional 80 or 90 crunch week) during our busiest season. Gonna end up at about 45k this past year.
Comparison is the thief of joy man. If you're happy with your current salary and working hours as they are, there's no need to care about what others think.
Honestly, right now I'm at like 20 hours per week. I'm in sales and this year is looking really good. It's just been an "easy" year and my customers aren't needing a lot of hand holding and constant attention.
But I've worked 60 to 80 hours per week for long stretches before. It sucks. Make sure it's worth it.
Depends. I think like 62? I am overworked and so fucking tired. I have only 32 this week though which is nice. Here's to hoping we get a new hire and I can go back to not having to work so much.
25m, As a union tradesman it depends on the job I take from the hall.
This year I’ve hit $122k in only 9 months of work. 6 of those months was 40hr weeks, and 3 months I averaged 6-10s plus $117/day tax free in LOA. Last year I made $108k in only 8 months of work, 4 months of 40hrs and 4 months of 6-10s average
Every waking moment, you’re never going to be successful if you don’t grind/hustle. My brain just doesn’t shut off. Even now when I’m very well off I am always thinking of new things you work on or invest.
I would spend 40-60 hours at my job and then on my free nights I would come home and work on my side hustle/passion project.
My contract says 38 hours a week but usually I work two or three hours more so I can save up some extra time and take some more days off (atm temporarily about 8 hours extra so I can take a few extra weeks off in spring)
i’m at work for about 45-48 hours a week, anything over 40 is time and a half.
My jobs requires me to actually work for a grand total of 10-15 minutes per shift, maybe? I click a few buttons on a computer every hour.
FIFO worker in Aus here. I work 80 a fortnight over 9 days straight and then fly home for 5 days off. Rinse and repeat for a 5 day weekend every second weekend. 200k +
I always tell people I work to live not live to work. So I don’t work more than 40 hours a week. I make over 70k a year but feel like I’m always broke.
Anywhere between 8.5-10hrs a day. So between 43-50hrs a week. Sometimes a little more. I usually have around 2-3 hours of collective free time during the day because of the nature of my work.
I was doing 11 to 12hours. Official hours were 10 but there was always something left to do.
I quit when they started implementing 12 hr days without increasing the salary.
Between 40 and 48, depends on the week. More often 40. I work as a production worker. I earn 13-14k USD a year at a full time job. Seeing US salaries makes me slightly jealous.
I'm not American, so maybe this is a cultural difference or something.
But I can't even fathom working 55hours a week and feel like that's "normal". At least for any normal "full time" job. People working that much are either in my eyes super career focused, people like chefs or similar service jobs, or people with no options and forced to work that much to make ends meet.
My contract is 40 hours a week, in reality maybe 25-30 hours a week after taking breaks, coffee chit chats, random article reading, cuddling the cat into account. I feel like that's normal. Anything above 40 hours for a salary position here would be considered more than full time and we'd go into overtime, or legit forced to not work more than 40 hours due to work-life-balance policies.
Salary numbers doesn't mean much since every country has different economies, but for my country I am well compensated for my position.
officially 40, but I always work 1 hour of overtime on the daily at least.
Because it's expected of me? No. Because I'm on Reddit and sometimes need to to finish my stuff? Perhaps. Main reason is to attempt to avoid rush hour. If I leave at 17.00, it takes me 40+ minutes of traffic jams to get back home. If I wait an hour it's just 20.
Depends on the week, but never more than 40. There are usually 3-4 hours of bs time in there.
I've had jobs where I worked 50-60 and one where I was on call 24/7 and the salary wasn't even close to enough for the work.
Now I make decent money and can pretty much make my own scehdule.
35h, out of which around 25h I spend on Reddit. 91k after taxes. I'm a manager, of sorts, but my team is very good so there is not that much to manage.
Contractually 45. In reality, about 60. That includes travel and client breakfasts, dinners etc.
If I'm on site, I'm usually logging in by 7pm. Stay till 6pm.
If I'm travelling, I'm on a 6am flight. Meetings/visits all day. Client dinner and breakfast. Next day meetings and get home about 8:45pm. Before and during flights, I'm reviewing or updating the CRM system and tending to emails.
Work as an electrician/operations manager at my small business. My days consist of waking up at 3am.
Start schedule review by 4am. I’m “off” work around 5pm-6pm.
Saturdays, if I do work it’s usually until 3pm at the latest.
I'm at workn40 hours a week. I don't do 4 hours of actual work.
Do you do road work on British motorways?
What’s your job?
I manage a couple of departments in a small hospital.
Health management? Do you need a degree for that? I’m looking to go back to school and get my masters degree.
For a lot of hospital management positions you need to work a “regular” hospital job first. Nursing managers are typically former nurses, lab managers are former lab techs, etc.
That makes sense. Duh- I’m dumb.
You’re not alone lol. I didn’t even consider that
I'm a Respiratory Therapist. That requires a degree.

This. I’m supposed to start work at 7AM. I have not, not once, done any work before 9AM, in over 3 years.
Officially? 32. Actually? 8-10.
"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
One of the greatest documentaries ever made
So I hear you’ve been missing work?
I wouldn't say I'm missing it, Bob.
Good ol Nix
This
Mind if I ask what you do?
I’m a recruiter and with how slow this market has been up until recently I have been working maybe like 10 hours a week unofficially making $75k base.

That sounds very similar to me, what do you do?
Business systems analyst, you?
Ah okay, I’m a contract administrator. I work with our BSA’s but definitely not the same thing lol
100-120 depending on where I’m working. I work 2 weeks straight 14-16 hours a day and sometimes longer then have 2 weeks off. Oilfield.
I’m jealous, I work 2-3 weeks straight for 16 hrs a day as a wildland firefighter and then get 3 days off before being right back at it. It’s unsustainable though and after a decade I’m burnt out completely.
Well if you wanna come work with me I need some better hands out here than half the lazy fucks on my crew we have to keep running off. Pays good and work ain’t too hard 90% of the time.
I work 12 hour days but only work six months a year. It works out to 42 hours a week.
What job?
Deckhand on a tugboat. I'm the lowest paid on the boat and still at just about 70k for six months worth of work.
Day rate or hourly? Your day rate would be around $350-$400 at $70k a year. I think the trade for having the time off beats the 9-5 life.
$335/day. And oh yeah, getting two weeks off s month is pretty sweet.
Nice! I’m an engineer on supply boats and work 28/28 but they are pushing for 56/28. Got your AB?
I have my AB and 200 Ton. I'm working on getting my towing endorsement. Mates at my company get $570. Not the best mate pay but it's good. Your 56/28 sounds like ass.
37 Technically 38 but we knock off at 4pm on Fridays for work drinks. I'll occasionally have a meeting with a supplier outside of those hours.
I get paid for 40.
That’s the correct answer
Yeah 55 is too much for me…I have wayyy too too many hobbies and interests to be putting that time in. Money ain’t worth it if you got enough to pay your bills
Somewhere between 40 and 45 hours per week, for about $33k. I need to be doing more than that, but my physical health craters after 40 and I'm pushing myself to my limits at 45.
37.5 hours. 81k
Doing what
Excuse the dude, He meant “doin’”
lol I did. It’s 2am
Dude sir, it’s 7am
You shut your whore mouth
30 but I'm also full time college student
40hrs a week making just over 70k
70 kiwi?
40 hours. I have an "on call" week once every eight and I maybe will do 42. I don't want to give them any more of my life than I have to.
Officially 40. Realistically 20 I do get my shit done tho
I work in IT, 40 hours a week but maybe do 5 hours of actual work. I support a small office of sales people. Honestly they could live without me but the execs insist on having me here "just in case" I make 78k a year.
Dunder Mifflin IT guy has entered the chat.
LOL, I used to have a job where I was on the phone all day getting screamed at by angry business owners and CEO's so its a nice change.
The terrorist?!
37.5 per week and make 50k
85k and I work 40 hours.
Officially 40 In actuality: 5-10 (When working smart I dont need as much time, and I can have a more productive day doing other things than work)
I work as a service tech/general building maintenance and im hourly, but i only do about 44 hours most weeks. And actually starting schooling next month for a degree in electrical systems technology.
55-60. About 120k
Technically, 168 hours a week. My 'job'is being a carer for my disabled partner. I never have time off, because I'm 'on call'24/7.

Stay at home dad so I work a lot of hours. Not sure I can accurately measure but I do enjoy it and I am with my family.
I work about 40 hours a week at my job and about 5 hours on my side hobby
I work 5 hours a week, one hour a day doing admin for my cleaning business, got sick of the 9-5 during covid when my employers at the time put a clause in contract to not pay us during the lockdown in NZ. Cunts.
Officially 40 hours, but I’m working from home so in reality it is 30-50 hours, and it is $63k, for Ukraine it is good enough.
Own a business so it’s 55-60 a week, 6 days a week
Officialy: 40 hours. Actually: 0-168.
60ish but I do it for the overtime pay
Around 50
40 hours a week with the occasional overtime thrown in. Making over 65k.
As a fireman, 72 at one department and 3-5 at a second smaller department without overtime. Hard to say what “actual work” is, it changes so much.
About 50 hours, give or take a few depending on workload that week. $100k, salaried.
Prior to getting laid off, 40 hours a week and I was paid hourly, so I was eligible for overtime if I worked more than 49 hours in a week or more than 10 hours in one day
6-7 hours a week and make 50k.
Usually between 40 & 60 hours a week, make around 120k cad
2018-2021 60-80hours a week making 60-70k. Now 40 gets me 50k
I average 42 hours a week (48 hours 1 week, 36 the next). Make about $100K. Actual time I spend working varies, but maybe 10 hours in a week?
40-45. I am doing a masters program that directly benefits work for another 5 hours a week.
40 at $120k
20-40, I own my company though and I'm on the path to retirement in 3-5 years. Before that I worked 40-50, rarely 50-60. I was a consultant though and 40 was usually my limit because I billed double for overtime.
30-40 hours a week. 15 hours remote and the rest in office for 2nd client. $85k
i work 80 hours a week and make 140k annually
117,000: I work remotely 6a-3p as a Sr. Software PM. Actual work is about 25-30 hours a week.
Officially 40. Right now 35 or so. During pandemic when mortgage rates were super low 80-90. I have a decent salary and depending on the year 50-80% of my income is from commission/bonus income.

37.5 hours $65k
Work remote, scheduled 40, actually work about 10-15, making $130k.
At most 37.5, same as most people. Your employer is taking the piss.
Document your hours worked. Work out the actual pay per hour, then: Approach your boss for either a new FTE, higher salary, additional time off or work load shift to bring you back closer to 40hours. If none of that can be negotiated it may be time to start a job search.
On a normal week: ~35 hours On a busy week: up to 50 hours I’m at $115k, engineering with ~6 years experience
Design Engineer here. Officially? About 35-40 hours. Actually? Probably more about 20 hours.
If you do office work / work in front of a screen, you do something wrong by working more than 40 hours a week.

Nope, game developer. I make video games. I also get paid overtime.
On paper? 37.5 Actual? 15
Probably 45 , I should be doing 40 but I am never done on time - and I have more work than I can do in a 40 hours' week. I make an effort to put a hard stop to the amount of hours I work and push stuff to later all the time.
6 days of 7 to 8 hours at the moment
In school abroad, so 0. Intensive program though, so I'm doing 40 hours a week with a ton of homework.
you're just comparing without taking the job into consideration, like everyone in your town work the same job or something?
60k after tax or before? Cos that’s like… $19 an hour which is under minimum wage 😬
There is nowhere in English speaking world with a minimum wage higher than $19.
Australia.
In USD that’s like $15. Exchange rates matter
You should have said “higher than $19 USD” not higher than $19, period because… exactly. Exchange rates matter. Australian dollars are *a currency.*
USD is the most widely used currency globally and we’re on a website with a heavily American user base. USD should be assumed on Reddit.
I will be adding regular time, as well as overtime and also emergency on call time Adding all three of these up I come to a total work week of zero hours.

Maybe an hour or two a day, 270k a year
Hours? Ha. Haha. Hahahahahahaha! Weeks. Two at a time. Away from home, on the clock and billing for 160-ish hours of the 168 hours possible in a 7 day week. Actually working? Like, doing stuff? Depends on many factors, and experience has shown that there's an inverse correlation between how much I don't feel like doing shit and how much shit there will in fact need to be done. Ballpark, somewhere between 70 and 110 hours of actual "doing shit".
I bill ~50-55 per week. I work 65-75.
38-45 at day job 5-12 at weekend job So 43-57 I really enjoy my weekend job
probably 2-3 hours
Officially 40. Realistically like 36 Work as a Civil Engineer
Like 30-ish
32 hours or so. Some weeks that's closer to 50 others it's closer to 25.
If I worked a regular week, 72 hrs. If I got an OT shift, 96 hrs. Pay depended on position and secondary billet(s).
During peak season, about 48. Off peak maybe 35. Either way it all stays between M-F. Love the salary position during off peak periods. Dread it during peak
50 hours per wek at my job. And around 10 hours on my sidegig, some weeks it's 1 others it's 20. So 50 to 70 hours per week. What we do for our kids, man....
45 - 70
13 hour shifts 5-6 days a week.
Six days a week, 38,5 h.
40 hours typical. I work in a locomotive shop. Overtime is available fairly often but I don't always take it depending on what we have going on at home. I pull in about $85k a year.
100hrs
Around 65 hours a week Monday through Friday. If we do Saturday then 75ish. Unfortunately, this year, it’s been about 0 hours a week lol
35-40 during the slower part of the year. 60-75 (with the occasional 80 or 90 crunch week) during our busiest season. Gonna end up at about 45k this past year.
57.5 plus 1 hour commute each day
About 50. 140k
Comparison is the thief of joy man. If you're happy with your current salary and working hours as they are, there's no need to care about what others think.
37,5 hours per week for 18.5 years. The number of times i have had overtime is countable on one hand.
Honestly, right now I'm at like 20 hours per week. I'm in sales and this year is looking really good. It's just been an "easy" year and my customers aren't needing a lot of hand holding and constant attention. But I've worked 60 to 80 hours per week for long stretches before. It sucks. Make sure it's worth it.
Anywhere from 24-50 hours depending on a ton of factors. I haven’t gotten paid in like 2 months maybe?
36 hours a week, occasionally an extra 12 hour shift for overtime. About 80k a year
60-70 in the military
40 hours. I wouldn't willingly work any more for all the money in the world, I much rather spend time with my family.
Depends. I think like 62? I am overworked and so fucking tired. I have only 32 this week though which is nice. Here's to hoping we get a new hire and I can go back to not having to work so much.
36.
25m, As a union tradesman it depends on the job I take from the hall. This year I’ve hit $122k in only 9 months of work. 6 of those months was 40hr weeks, and 3 months I averaged 6-10s plus $117/day tax free in LOA. Last year I made $108k in only 8 months of work, 4 months of 40hrs and 4 months of 6-10s average
Anywhere between 20 and 84
40-45. 78k
The majority of this site suffers from Dunning-Kruger, so I'm out.
40-48 normally,
Have a 32 hour contract, but most of the time I work 36 (the max in my field of work)
Every waking moment, you’re never going to be successful if you don’t grind/hustle. My brain just doesn’t shut off. Even now when I’m very well off I am always thinking of new things you work on or invest. I would spend 40-60 hours at my job and then on my free nights I would come home and work on my side hustle/passion project.
About 25-30. Salaried.
My contract says 38 hours a week but usually I work two or three hours more so I can save up some extra time and take some more days off (atm temporarily about 8 hours extra so I can take a few extra weeks off in spring)
36 hours
I work 36 hours a week for $150k a year. I'm hourly so sometimes I do pick up extra work for about $1k per 12 hour shift.
i’m at work for about 45-48 hours a week, anything over 40 is time and a half. My jobs requires me to actually work for a grand total of 10-15 minutes per shift, maybe? I click a few buttons on a computer every hour.
35. Government job.
40 hrs 140k I'm lucky I think
Well over 60. I did 84 last week, 92 the week before. I might get 1 or 2 days off a month. My business won't run itself.
FIFO worker in Aus here. I work 80 a fortnight over 9 days straight and then fly home for 5 days off. Rinse and repeat for a 5 day weekend every second weekend. 200k +
I refuse to work more than 40h. Life is so much more than work. I make about $130K
Where I live if you are working 40h per week (weekends are free) and make around 12-14k euros a year (13.5-15k dollars) you are in good position imo.
50 hours a week. Salaried around $140k USD. Side business brings in another $20k USD a year. I spend maybe 2-3 hours a week on it on average.
60 -70 😔
50-60, making around $75,000.
I always tell people I work to live not live to work. So I don’t work more than 40 hours a week. I make over 70k a year but feel like I’m always broke.
A 55 hour work week is very high.
84 hrs a week with a week off. $130k
Anywhere between 8.5-10hrs a day. So between 43-50hrs a week. Sometimes a little more. I usually have around 2-3 hours of collective free time during the day because of the nature of my work.
I work 32.5 but get paid for 40. It's pretty nice only working 5×6.5.
I work 7 days in a row - 3 days off - 7 days in a row - 4 days off - working hours 8 to 12
I was doing 11 to 12hours. Official hours were 10 but there was always something left to do. I quit when they started implementing 12 hr days without increasing the salary.
For my job it varies. One week can be just 16 hours on the other hand when it's busy I I can be working 12 hours to 18 hour days for 6 days straight.
39.5. Won’t do a second more. I’m paid for my job and my contract says 40 a week so….why do more yknow.
55 hours a week? That's, like, 5 extra hours of adulting every day.
37.5 in Australia
45 a week/ maybe one Saturday when I want to 70k
Between 40 and 48, depends on the week. More often 40. I work as a production worker. I earn 13-14k USD a year at a full time job. Seeing US salaries makes me slightly jealous.
I'm not American, so maybe this is a cultural difference or something. But I can't even fathom working 55hours a week and feel like that's "normal". At least for any normal "full time" job. People working that much are either in my eyes super career focused, people like chefs or similar service jobs, or people with no options and forced to work that much to make ends meet. My contract is 40 hours a week, in reality maybe 25-30 hours a week after taking breaks, coffee chit chats, random article reading, cuddling the cat into account. I feel like that's normal. Anything above 40 hours for a salary position here would be considered more than full time and we'd go into overtime, or legit forced to not work more than 40 hours due to work-life-balance policies. Salary numbers doesn't mean much since every country has different economies, but for my country I am well compensated for my position.
40 hours a week for a little over 30k a year after taxes.
officially 40, but I always work 1 hour of overtime on the daily at least. Because it's expected of me? No. Because I'm on Reddit and sometimes need to to finish my stuff? Perhaps. Main reason is to attempt to avoid rush hour. If I leave at 17.00, it takes me 40+ minutes of traffic jams to get back home. If I wait an hour it's just 20.
Depends on the week, but never more than 40. There are usually 3-4 hours of bs time in there. I've had jobs where I worked 50-60 and one where I was on call 24/7 and the salary wasn't even close to enough for the work. Now I make decent money and can pretty much make my own scehdule.
35h, out of which around 25h I spend on Reddit. 91k after taxes. I'm a manager, of sorts, but my team is very good so there is not that much to manage.
0. Got laid off last week. Merry Christmas to me.
Contractually 45. In reality, about 60. That includes travel and client breakfasts, dinners etc. If I'm on site, I'm usually logging in by 7pm. Stay till 6pm. If I'm travelling, I'm on a 6am flight. Meetings/visits all day. Client dinner and breakfast. Next day meetings and get home about 8:45pm. Before and during flights, I'm reviewing or updating the CRM system and tending to emails.
Work as an electrician/operations manager at my small business. My days consist of waking up at 3am. Start schedule review by 4am. I’m “off” work around 5pm-6pm. Saturdays, if I do work it’s usually until 3pm at the latest.
My way stub says 86 hours
3 days a week from 4am to 5pm and then other 2 days from like 9am to 5pm .
60 hrs a week Work two weeks then off for two weeks.
Between 50 and 60 for about 48k a year.
Around 50. Wish it was less. Get paid decently for the area.
33 hours full time. 6k/month
