I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

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.

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.

It depends on the day, but typically eight. For every decrease one day, which is most often due to being tired, I have an increase another.

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.

I work in IT, so basically anywhere between 0 to maybe 4 hours a day at most. On average I think I actually work maybe 2.5 hours a day.

If i didn't have a hurry up and wait type job i could pound through everything in about 3 hours. I do walk about 7 miles a night though so thatd suck to have to do in 3 hours on top of everything else.

I work in freight management at a brokerage. I determine my hours and my clients. That being said, I am also a SAHD and have a toddler and a dog, so between meals, nap times, walks, etc, I probably put in a good 4-5 hours of work, but I'm on call all day in case of emergencies.

Anywhere from 2 to 6 hours a day. According to my employment lawyer, being available for work even if you don't have work assigned generally means you must be paid for your time. I work from home now, but between compiling code and taking breaks plus some days can be more quiet than others, it's not too crazy of a pace. The last three jobs I've worked at have been like this, even with one of said earlier jobs being in an office.

Mon to Fri. Between 8am and 5 pm, 5 hours tops. And that's a generous top. Been WFH since 2014.

Well it’s a 10 hour shift with about 55 minutes of break time. Take away another 15-20 minutes for bathroom/smoke breaks and general screwing around. I’m actually working 8.5 hours of a 10 hour shift.

0.5 hours a day in average. I get nice pay for it. The beauty of support 🀣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

About 2hrs per job.

My workload is inconsistent so it can range from like 1 hour of actual work to more than 6 hours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I get squeezed for every minute. If I work faster - then good - do more.

Usually about 10-11 hours 5 days a week (9to5ish + 2-3 hours during the evening), and 2 or 3 hours a day during the weekend. I actually like my jobs and this allows me to take longer vacations during summer and winter.
