QFT!

Oy Vey... I know I know.

But I work about 55hrs/week

 

[Syrch]

Depends on the day/week. Some weeks i work 70 or so hours non stop stressed and going crazy and other weeks i work 40 hours bored looking for somethign to do.

 

[PrinceofWands]

30-40 at the moment. Though I'm sure I'll be putting a LOT more in once I get teaching. I'll never touch my record from when I worked security at the hospital though: 115 1/2 hours a week for almost a full month.

 

[jlee]

40hr weeks..unless it's a week in which I'm working two jobs - then 60-65.

Shit...I see where this is going. I thought you made the decision to take the job and move?

Even considering my current cakewalk, I would take a job that required more hours if the compensation was worth it...that's really the important question...are they compensating you appropriately for the hours. Do it now before you have the wife/kids/etc and it will pay off later.

would i again you mean? Probably not. last week i worked 70 hours with 40 hour pay due to being salary. That OT would have been something sweet. I do get paid almost double what i got paid when i was hourly BUT i have much more responsibility and deal with company sensitive material all day.

Officially 35 hours (summer "internship") since I don't get paid for lunch. Realistically, I do about 5 hours work a week, and surf for the rest. I hide the browser when people walk by, but I shouldn't have to; I practically beg my supervisors for work and get nothing. Meanwhile, my employer is cutting the budget to essential expenses and improvements. Oh, and I got b!tched at for staying overtime for free twice, so my attitude is ..l.. to them. If you're wondering, I'm there purely for the money.

edit: I am supposed to work 4x10 hour days. I usually come in around 10, take a 60-90 minute lunch most days and leave around 6:30-7. That's about 30 hours each week except Mondays I usually get in around 11 and Thursdays I leave by 5 so that's down to 27 hours. Of that time I probably spend at least 15 hours on ATOT and 10 hours surfing various other sites, paying bills, etc. So maybe about 2 hours of actual work per week. Seriously. This week I think I have sent 3 emails and that's pretty much it. Since last week I have needed to walk down to the server room, go in the lab, open the tape library to remove some stuck tapes and I haven't done it. It's taken me longer to type this response than all of the work I've done this week.


And if you knew how much I was getting paid for doing this you would be very, very pissed.

do we work at the same company?

This year i've seen a few movies on opening day at 1st showing (Fri noon). And no, i didnt take off from work.

 

[neegotiator]

Usually 48 hr/wk, or more if trying to hit a deadline or something.

 

[Trey22]

Salaried.

As little as 30, as much as 50. It all evens out in the end, eh?

I stay around 15-30mins everyday doing stuff. Sometimes 45-60mins a day.

Another 3-6-8hrs a week at my parents takeaway also.

[slsmnaz]

Enough to get the work done which is between 40-60/week. I usually average a bit over 50. When I first started I was required to work 55/week and didn't really mind.

 

[Bootprint]

Average of 36 in 12 hours shifts, but since we have to work some weekends it could be 24 one week and 48 the next.

 

[bladder23]

25 hours/week @ fast food

 

[minendo]

12-14 hours per day, 5-6 days per week. On salary with no overtime.

 

[nonameo]

I worked 12 hour days all week last week, plus a 9 hour day on saturday.

In the time that I was supposed to be at work today but wasn't, I probably made more than you make in a week. How does that make you feel?

more determined to do what i have in mind

It's my first job.

I still got a bright future ahead of me.

 

[ponyo]

60-70 hours is about the norm for me.

 

[D1gger]

I average 12 hour days / 5 days per week. I try very hard not to work on weekends but sometimes I have to work on tender estimates and then it can easily be 80 hours per week.

he deals out the drive-thru window. if you order a big mac with 3 packets of ketchup and 2 packets of mustard and a sesame seed bun for the top and bottom, you'll find a little baggie of "sugar" at the bottom of the kids meal bag. so methinks he does alright.

[TheGizmo]

[RichUK]
