Office workers: Question about your hours?

[Deleted]

How many hours do you average?  Your H?

H has been working ten and a half hour days.  Just wondering.  

My H is kind of mid-level, but doesn't manage anyone. 

[downbythebay]

I'm required to work at least 36 hours a week. I'm usually right around 38, never over 40, but I'm not very important!

[oliveyou]

Me: about 9 hours, give or take a little depending on the day.
DH: 9 - 15 depending on the day. Normal days 9, but he's a teacher and coach, so days he has late practices or games it's more like 15.

[christy082]

8 1/2 hours per day or as close to that as possible.

[pantsparty]

Back when I was actually in an office, I usually worked from 7:30 - 6:00. Admins and other support staff worked from 8:00 - 5:00.

[shostakovich]

I'm part-time, working 28 hours per week (with occasional overtime). H is a musician

[lime]

I've had it range from 8 to 16, depending on the job and project.

[Alyssa]

I put in 40 hours a week. I deal with personal medical information, so no work can leave the office. Overtime usually happens around the holidays where you come in on a Saturday.

My husband works in finance at Tesla and he does about 60 hours a week. He was given a laptop and every day he brings home a stack that is at least 6 inches deep of bills to pay.

[Muddled]

H averages 11 hours/day.

[softspot]

I can work anywhere from 30-40. I have been averaging 32/week but am trying to land somewhere around 35. 

Eta: to answer the question I average 6h40m/day. 

[janegold]

I am usually at the office around 9-10 hours a day. H doesn't work in an office but regularly works 80 hours per week.

[hisno1girl]

The office hours are officially from 8-4:30, M-F, but I have lots of mandatory work events that take place outside those hours, so I'm closer to 50 hours than 40.

[lola]

Most of the year I work a nine hour day, five days a week.

During my busiest season I work 15 hour days, usually six or seven days a week. That only lasts for about six weeks though.

don't you think this is heavily dependent on one's position, company and industry? just a thought. derp.

Of course.  It's a casual ML poll. 

Just curious where ten and a half falls in terms of ML.

[AlpineSlide]

I work 36-38 hours a week. The daily hours vary - 6 hours one day, 8 the next, a few 7 hour days, etc. It is not a firm number of hours every day but never over 8.5 and never less than 5.

Dh works 40 hours per week generally. It is 8 hours per day with the occasional 8 hours on Saturday and maybe 4 extra hours somewhere for overtime. His hours are firm in 8 or 4 hour increments.

[tripleshot]

I work 40 hrs/wk. M-F 7:30-4 with a 30 min lunch. I very rarely work over.

[joshlyman]

I average between 50 and 60 a week.

[gretchenindisguise]

I work 40, and not typically a minute over without getting yelled at (love).

H works 60 hours as a post doc.

[cutecloud]

8.5 hours a day. And then I generally go home. Thank goodness for that, lol.

H does 9 hour days but gets a day off every other week. He used to do a lot more overtime but with the sequester they can't earn comp time anymore so nobody really stays over.

[penelope]

I work 8 hour days. I used to come in early and stay late, as well as not take a lunch. Then I realized that the more I gave, the more they expected, and the less others bothered to do. So, now I put my 8 in, I take my lunch and I even take my 15 minute, union approved, morning and afternoon breaks.

But I hate my management and am paid total shit.

The job I had before this I would put in 10 hour days during our busy season and not think twice about it. The owner was awesome and I respected him.

[luckyval]

40 hours unless I have to sit in on an evening meeting (2-3 times a month). Those meetings are 2-3 hours long and I get comp time for it

[sergey]

When I had an office job it was pretty much 8-5:30ish with whatever breaks I took since I didn't clock in and out. H typically works 8-5:30/6 even though his company is technically a 9-5 but he's high up and has a lot of people under him so he likes having the time to himself early and late in the day.

ETA- both salaried jobs

[starlily]

We are both scheduled for 40. H averages 40 actual hours every week. I average 38-40, due to fluctuations in the court's afternoon calendar. If we wrap up before 5, I'm free to go straight home.

[flex]

It depends. Sometimes I work on the weekends and I'm salaried. Lately I've been averaging 45-50 hours a week.

[sonrisa]

10-10.5 hour days were pretty standard "light" days when I worked in NY.

DH typically only works a 9 hour day, but he specifically chose this job for the lighter work load. He still ends up working 200 hours every four weeks because he also moonlights some weekends. He wants to add in a 10 hour a week private practice on top on that.

He's not good at working a lighter load. It's against his nature.

[mrsjuleshs]

7:30-4:30 with an hour for lunch though I rarely take an hour so I have flexibility to leave early or come in later if I have something I have to do.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

H works 12 hour days, four days a week and rotates being on-call on the weekend with the other people in his department, so every eight weeks. He's salary, mid-level and doesn't manage anyone.

When I worked, I had the usual eight-hour days, five days a week, but my 30 minute lunches weren't paid so I worked 37 1/2 hours a week. I was entry-level and hourly.

[wildfloweragain]

I work 9.5 hour days as a teacher. I also go back in after dinner or on weekends but that's just to keep up with everything and is at my discretion.

H does not work a regular office job. He's a firefighter and his schedule is all over the place. It's technically supposed to be 10 hour days or 14 hour nights.

...sent from my Jedi mind

[papie]

DH works 40-55 hours per week. When he worked in audit it was crazy, now I find this pretty reasonable.

[Deleted]

I work about 50 hours/week now. It was closer to 60 but the pressure abated somewhat when I made partner. This includes travel time, which is away from my family but isn't hard the way beng "on" mentally is hard. This is standard at a firm for attorneys. Admin ( "pink collar") jobs are more like 35 hours/week, 9-5 with an hour for lunch.
