45+10 hours commuting contracted 40 but something always crops up I work 5 over 7 so time off midweek & every second weekend off helps with the childcare for our youngest, looks like it might all be changing soon though and not in a good way
contracted to do 36 a week , but as I get all school holidays , I do 41.5 per week .
nice to have 14 weeks off though .
Sorry, civil servant here,37 hours a week and flexitime, so I can build up hours and do short days when I need to cover school runs.
Probably work 40 hrs most weeks if I do a "full" five days.
30ish I think.
Thursdays off to look after our daughter. I can totally recommend anyone with kids trying to move down to a 4 day week. One whole day of bike rides, swimming, trips to the park, it's a really fun thing to do.

No idea to be honest, just tend to play it by ear. I probably average 35-40 hours per week. When the kids came along I chose to go from 60+ hours per week to whatever gets me home at a reasonable time.
Fortunately the company I worked for was bought out at about the same time, and my new employers appear to have quite low expectations of their workforce 🙂 For quite a while I was working at about 25% capacity and my new bosses were amazed at my productivity. I haven't seen the need to put them right and life is much better for it.
How many hours am I AT work, or how many do I actually work?
Typically 40 hrs. It goes up when we have a backlog in the weeks before a deadline. But that has not happened recently due to some big improvements in planning i.e. we actually do some. Since we don't get paid for any over-time, it's a big disincentive to working yourself into the ground. Just how I like it.
3.5 12 hour shifts per week.
lots of time for riding, family etc. 😛
I would hate to go back to 5 day week, it makes so much sense to condense hours....
normally i do 8am - 4.30pm - ride 1 hour each way commute so out from 6.30am till 5.40pm.
Occasionally i work abroad where i do 12 hour shifts 7 days a week for up to 6 weeks (currently offshore nigeria but previously been in Equatorial Guinea,norway , several californian locations , houston ,holland)- but its made worth my while. ive deliberately tried to not commit to a job requiring 100% office work as i enjoy the travel and the hands on side of the job so these trips just mean i can pump money into my mortgage / getting my house how i want it and take in the worlds sights.
Eventually ill pull back into the office though - no kids yet you see....
Two weeks i work 36 hours a week and the other two i work 48 hours a week. 2000 -0800. Work in a Nursing home. Be glad to get back to the Nhs.
My normal hours are 10 hours per day, longer if I take a break. Five days a week and every other Saturday for three hours.
contract says 37.5. anything more than that is flexi that can be taken off anytime i want in the future.
and im a geologist so i dont really do any real work at all
i work 8:30 to 5, 1hr for lunch, in theory, reality is not quite the same,
tend to be out of the house from 7am till 6pm.
Usually about 50-60 hours, but I work from a home office so that does take in the occasional stroll out to water something in the yard, play with the dogs, quick trip to the store, etc.--realistically actually "working" about 45 hours.
Varies a lot. But currently 18-20.
36 hours over 4 days a week, different day off each week and no commuting time at present...my wife on the other hand does more like 50hrs over 5 days with another 8hrs commuting, plus she is not eligible for OT or Flex 🙁
I feel very lucky but I still manage to waste a fair bit of my time off!
70 something last week, grafting hard and I was knackered. Normally around 45 though.
At the mo 48 hrs a week.
But when I am in the dessert I work 12 on 12 off every day for 4-6 months
50+ is quite usual. Sometimes I can do 80+ hour weeks, but they're not good for the Soul. Work a mixture of at home and out in the field.
Around 40- sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.
18.5. 8)
Some people work too hard!

I know, I tried to get it down to 16 hours but they wouldn't have it.
Get paid for 39 but it rarely takes that long to complete , I usually make about 4 hours back a week sometimes more if workload is low. Travel is 15 minutes each way 🙂
About 45 hours a week as standard, can be 37.5 but can be 60, 1 day wfh and I'm self managing mostly. Half the time I'm bored, half the time I'm so busy I don't know where the time goes. I don't hate my job but I don't love it either, but the boring times, which I can manipulate for family / riding advantage, good salary and good benefits gives my family a better life and opportunity than I grew up with and much to be grateful for, so I deal with it.

I'd just crumble if I had to work that much...
They tried it, and I said 'Don't trifle with me'...
They asked me and I said 'Just Sago'...
Ice cream when they asked me to work that much...
Sorry, I'll get my coat...
Quite happy at the moment only working about 80 hours as that leaves me plenty of time for other stuff, the days are happily behind me when I was made to work 6am-2am 7 days a week, only to get mg first morning off. Ideally I love a job where I could just make a decent living working 80-90 hours in a mon-fri job.
Average about 10h a day so 50h weeks, sometimes I can drop that down to 40 sometimes it baloons to 60 or 70. I was offered more dosh but asked for time off or 4 day week. That confused them, they are still pondering an answer as normally people want the cash ! There was a suggestion that my doing so showed a lack of 'commitment'. I pointed out that if i wasn't committed I wouldn't have asked I would have simply gone to another firm! I have asked for 80% of what i am on for 1 day a week off and leave all targets the same i.e at the 100% scale. Measure output not input. We shall see....
Some people work too hard!
+1, no wonder there are so many miserable people on here! Work to live and all that..
