Sure I heard on the radio this morning as I was waking up that last year 300,000 new jobs were created but only 3% of them were full time 😯
So, in true STW stylee a poll: How many hours [s]do you work[/s] are you employed to work in a week? If you're self-employed, base it on your total hours.
A/ I'm a student / in full-time education
B/ Part Time [32 hours or less]
C/ Full Time [>32 hours]
D/ I'm retired
E/ I'm unemployed
Not that it's any of my business like; just wondered 8)
B - i work around 25 hours a week
Oh. Me = C
C - about 60hrs at the mo! 😯
[B], but complicated because I spent this week on standby but didn't actually do any work. If you count standby time, then [C].
c - 55-60hrs
B (27 hours/3 days)
+ A (studying part-time)
Teacher - C - >32 hrs per week
I'm a part time student, part time self-unemployed winding up the dregs a failed business. So A/B.
C - 37 hours plus anything between 5 & 9 hours of overtime at the moment.
Plus a few more on "other projects" 8)
with or without time spent on STW?
> 32 hrs FT WTF
On my quiet weeks I do at least 35. During my busy times >60.
C: 37.5 hours, but probably on work half of that.
C - 37 Hours.
At the moment.....averaging around 25 - 30 hours.
Self employed.
C: 60 plus some nights/weekends on duty rota
C: Contract work, last 10 months have been around 84 hours a week, but that's for 3 months at a time, then a month off.
C: Contract work, last 10 months have been around 84 hours a week, but that's for 3 months at a time, then a month off.
Self employed. A bit B and bit D.
Around 12-20 hrs a week depending on projects.
C - work approx 42 hours but then spend an additional 13 hours travelling.
I need to get in your racket Stoner.. get the feeling I do a pretty similar thing to you but for one group of companies.
C - 39 chargable hours on timesheet + lunch, tea breaks, commuting and unpaid overtime.
It can be anywhere from 12-60.
I average around 36 hours per week though. I'm only working 12 hours next week and am dreading it, nothing worse than having too much time to kill.
C - pretty slack these days - never more than 50 hours.
In the bad old days it could regularly be 100+ hours.
C - contracted to 37 hours, written into my contract that I will receive no overtime payments, so I don't do any.
SY - pm me if you like.
BH8er - too much time to kill? no such thing. Build a shed or something !
C - probably 40ish. I'm an academic who's settling into the mid-career comfy chair. Early career setting up my group it was up to twice that, so feels like a bit of a doss at the mo.
C, about 40 hours, but paid for 30!
C - 37.5 hours contracted, usually about 42 hours worked though + occasional overtime (also on-call 24x7 one week per month). Probably part-time if you subtract forum time though...
C: Contract work, last 10 months have been around 84 hours a week, but that's for 3 months at a time, then a month off.
C - Get paid for 36hrs, but my contract states a minimum of 36hrs per week, on average i work 50hrs but get paid only for 36hrs.
The store i work in we only have Managers/Team Leaders and Bakers full-time the rest of the store is all part time, not good!
Triple post for the win!
Stoner - cheers - expect a mail this evening! 😀
Freelance, so it varies between less than 5 and greater than 100. As a rule I try and draw the line at around 45 hours per week.
So far we've got (approximately) 1 part=time student, 5 part-time workers, & 19 full-time workers [plus tree-magnet who seems to be holding down half a dozen roles 😆 ] so we're not far off the National average of 25% part-time jobs
Freelance sort of. Around 25 hrs a week average
B/ 20 hours a week - can be a lot more for a while then a lot less though
I was doing 30 hours a week but had to reduce it due to bastard ME/CFS/PVFS or whatever the **** it is. I don't earn much at all but it's quite nice to have plenty of time to do your own thing.
37, pressure to do more, but sod them
C - 37.5 hours per week
I guess I average about 8 hours a week
I'm a househusband.. so every waking hour..
I also paint (abstract expressionist commissions taken) so often during sleeping hours too...
C- contracted 34hrs, but usually do 40-50hrs cos I get a crappy hourly wage.
Well it was 37.5/ wk but gradually dropping as this gov's policies kill our business, so from today a 3/day week. Times are tough, best get motoring on that freelance porfolio - anyone want a environment/SD specialist with research/planning/policy/strategy experience in the public and private sector? No job too small 😉
Work as in job = 0 (I retired 6 months ago)
Work as in 3 children (I'm only 40).... loads and loads and loads (but its still way better than a "proper" job) 🙂
