PP here and that is true. I’m about to switch to a new fully remote job and the hiring manager told me in my interview that she is out everyday for a bit around 3pm to pick up her kid from school, so you can tease it out with general questions about core works hours and flexibility. |
That’s the problem with “30/hour a week jobs.” I’ve never actually seen anyone in those jobs get 25% less work than a 40 hour a week person. Sounds like you were doing as much as your 40/hour a week colleagues. Even though they were “in the office working 40 hours,” they probably weren’t really doing that much extra work in the extra hours they were in the office were they? |
I've been wfh for about 8 years, so pre-pandemic.
Sometimes I work 8+ hours/day when I'm really busy and have deadlines. I've done this a lot. I don't get extra compensation for it. Other times, when I'm not busy, don't have a project I'm working on, I work way less than 8 hours. I figure it all evens out. I don't feel guilty over it because I'm still a high performer and valued in my team. I take the down time when I can get it. And I'm an older Gen Xer. |
I’m a 1099 and bill by the hour. If I am not working I am not billing and if I’m not billing I don’t get paid. I’m part time so anywhere from 20-30 hrs of real work. |
10-12 hours a day and lately about 10 hours over the weekend. Trial-related and exhausted. |
More than I ever do when I go in the office and get hijacked into conversation at every turn. |
I work more hours at home lately, because I don’t have to commute and I have a LOT of work to do.
People that aren’t working at home don’t have enough work. |
Acting like people going into the office can’t just surf the internet all day or take a long lunch and 3 coffee breaks a day. Sitting in an office is not a job.
TRUTH! When I was supervising, we had one who would walk the floors and chit chat all morning, take 2-hour lunches and work an hour before they left for the day ...another who would amazon shop and do their travel side gig all day and YES, they were disciplined and left before failing their PIPs. I work from home twice a pay period so I'd say a good 6+ hours for me. |

I did fully remote two years I say on average I spent 1-2 hours a day working. |
This. Some people can’t accept the innovations in technology and increased efficiency. |
Workers work. Slackers slack. Doesn’t matter where it happens. ‘‘Twas ever thus. |
If anything I work more at home. |
Same, 40-45 at home. No breaks, no walks to other departments. |
