Yes, theorectically, a company should get 8hrs of work for 8hrs of pay.

Anyone have links to what the real world avg is?

Update: This LINK shows why it's not worth it to work harder
 
I read a study once, don't remember where, that said the average worker spends only 60% of their day being productive. Seems about right....
 
monday - 1 hour
tuesday - 3 hours
wednesday - 2 hours
thursday - 45 minutes
friday ......0 so far, i'll check back in at 4pm

That's not too far off. I think technology is driving productivity. I can do things in 30 minutes now that would take a designer a week to do just 5 years ago, due to more automation and better design practices.
The point is to manage expectations, and alway barely meet them. If you don't meet them, it reflects poorly on you. If you exceed them, you will get more work and higher expectations, until eventually you don't meet them. The worst thing you can do is finish ahead of time, because your reward will be more work.
 
My away message for work:

I'm working - giving 100%:
13% Monday
22% Tuesday
26% Wednesday
35% Thursday
4% Friday
 
I strongly advocate 10-4 work day.

10-10:30: email and web surf
10:30-12: real work
12-1: lunch
1-2 nap time!
2-2:30 additional surf time
2:30-4: additional real work

total real work: 3 hrs which is better than that of more current jobs
