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

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

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.

Entirely dependent on the job I’m working. I work in film, so sometimes we’re on a prelight and the day is 12hr, I could work anywhere from four to maybe 10. Then some days were on 10hr shoot days, and I could work maybe 30 min. And then there are days like this week, working a documentary on multiple locations, and I worked a collective maybe 40 min/day (with a 9:30 call and me leaving by 2-3 while getting paid for 12hr).

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'm stuck in the food service industry, so I work 9hr days 5 days a week :) All gruelling and soul-sucking, of course!

I'm a graduate student and it varies wildly. When I have to work on my dissertation and teach I definitely work a full 40 hours. Teaching alone takes a shit ton of your time.

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.

8 hours.

To many cameras around to not do my job

About 2.5 hours before lunch, then long 90 minute lunch, then maybe 3 hours. So I guess around 5.5 hours.

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

I do design and tech support for industry. Official hours are 7,5h/day (lunch is off-duty). 3 days in office 2 days remotely. My actual workload varies a lot. If everything works and all resources are in use, I might not have anything to do for weeks on end. If shit hits the fan, I'm on overtime working 10h days, using every second.

I might quess that on average 2h/day of actual work and varying part of this are communally beneficial activities I invent for myself to keep myself busy.

7 and a half.

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.

Probably something like 6h or so. I enjoy my job and I think I do it well, but there's only so many hours you can juggle complex logic in your mind per day before your brain turns to mush. After that point any further minute spent staring at the screen would just be a waste of my time and motivation.

Being unemployed tends to be like that.

I drive a forklift in a warehouse. I probably work 6.5-7 hours a 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.

Most days 4 or 5 hrs. Around 5% of the time, 12+ hrs.

Sometimes 2, sometimes 12, avg is about 6 to 7. Meetings, email, and messaging are work.
