How industrious is the average posters (hours worked per week)

[Zoetstofzoetje]

do about 14 hours per weekday - and whatever gap might be in those for breaks, is filled up on sundays when i go to our HO for three-four hours.

[Provost Harrison]

I struggle to maintain my hourly wage above 100 dollars an hour.

I don't :-D I normally do somewhere between 30 and 40 but that can go up considerably at peak project times.

[Provost Harrison]

In terms of paid employment, I flatly refuse to work more than my current 35 hours/week.

This. This is how life should be...work to live not live to work. Employers need to give realisstic workloads to their staff and if there is more work, employ more peopleor increase efficiency. This slavedriving should not be tolerated, for the sake of the whole of society.

[Dauphin]

Equally though, if someone wants to work silly sauce hours, it's their choice.

I hope your not expecting any days of holiday when you take such a lackadaisical approach to your work life

Well I'm self employed so I don't get those anyway, per se.

I get 29 days paid leave plus public holidays. This is how things work when you have a good job.

[MOBIUS]

If you work less than thirty you either can't get a better job or you're a lazy ****er.

Or my job is paid so well that I don't need to work more hours and that I value my free time far more than simply working. You don't want to know about my holidays or how long it takes me to get to work...

On average 60. When someone sells a project without checking first to see if we have capacity in my group it can shoot up to 80

[Propaganda]

Working over 40 hours is wasteful and inefficient.

[loinburger]

40 per week. I'm non-exempt for the next four months, and the company would prefer not to pay me time and a half; more importantly, none of my project deadlines are critical, and I'm never the weak link

I also usually work a few additional hours doing computer repairs

I think you must work for my company.

[MOBIUS]

I'll be working an extra day next week. I've got to drive up to Mid Wales for a meeting because no one else is available. It's basically networking and a jolly and my driving time is included in my hours, so basically being paid for a full day to go for a nice drive through some stunning countryside each way for about 4 hours 'work' - there goes one of my days off next week - such an inconvenience...

[dannubis]

I can beat that: Brussels -> Perth -> Brussels for a ****ing 3 hour workshop.

What a waste of time

[loinburger]

They've never heard of video-conferencing or something?

[MRT144]

30 hours a week

[dannubis]

Yes. But VC "doesn't replace the value of personal attendance".

BTW, that client had the most stunning VC infrastructure I have ever seen.

[onodera]

40 hours a week. That's what so many people have fought for, why should I devalue their achievements?

[VetLegion]

That's a bit of a myth. 40-hour work week was not won through worker
struggle, despite the fact that its institutionalization coincided with strikes,
protests and whatnot. There had been strikes and protests since the
beginning of industrialization, but only when productive capabilities, the
amount of capital per worker, were built up sufficiently, only then did it
become possible to reduce the work day.

It's the same today. If you wanted to limit the work week to 20 hours, no
amount of struggle, violent or legislative, would suffice to make that possible.
