How many hours a week do you actually work?

Anonymous
Probably 25ish. $180k. Some weeks its more if there are proposals. I can fill all the time with busy work but i dont and I'm very efficient snd think/type fast. Tech management. I would work more for more $.
I did my time working full out 40 hrs of hands on keyboard technical and report writing for many years and got a reputation for excellence and efficiency and moved up.

What kind of job?

I'm physically onsite 45 hours (unpaid lunches) but probably only work productively like 20 most weeks. I work at a place that is also my hobby (think alcoholic working at a bar, though it's a bit more intellectual than that) so I have a lot of fun there most of the time!

J1 3-5 hours a week (195k)
J3 25-30 hours a week (258k)

J2 was ($188k) zero hours most of 2023. Was on severance last 10 weeks.

J4 ghosted me after completing all interviews for a $400k job. I wonder if I got “made”

Tomorrow last day at J1. I am leaving with a Hero’s send off. Well wishes from board members, CEO, CFO it was like Tom Brady’s last season. Looking forward to my IPO invite!! $200k in RSUs the IPO may be were for me!

Depends on the week. I'm a contract negotiator. I get paid for 45 hours of availability. Last week I worked 57. This week I'll work about 20. Peaks and valleys.

Depends how busy we are. Usually about 35-40, but sometimes 50, sometimes 20.

I finish my job and one of my coworker’s jobs in about 10 hours per week. I am very bored at work and always looking for new projects to take on.

I make 55K/yr.

I'm a therapist. I see 25-30 clients per week. I probably 10-15 hours of admin work per week between internal meetings, documentation, and marketing/networking.

Before I did this, I worked in admin at various organizations, and there was ALWAYS down time. In a 40 hour work week, I probably worked 4-5 hours a day, tops, but it was spread out over the 8-9 hours I was in my office.

In my current career, there is no down time while I am actively "working" with clients. I have 2-3 cancellations per week for whatever reasons, so occasionally I get an unexpected break, but there is very little time to goof off at work the way I used to in my nonprofit days. Probably a good thing, ultimately.

60ish hours. After AP testing in May I usually have 3-4 good weeks of 40 hours b/c kids are just doing projects in that class so I only have to prep for lower classes.

I work 3 12 hr shifts a week. I make about $130K. My day usually looks like this :

7p-1030p very busy. Walking all around the hospital and different units
1030p-130a - on a normal day, a lot of downtime. I get frequent texts but usually they are just yes/no answers. Have to field a couple of phone calls and deal with a couple bed placement issues. But usually am sitting at my desk with a book unless the emergency call goes off.
130a-330a. Busy again
330-4a - downtime
4a-7a more busy than not but still have downtime mixed in.

95K. Would average out to 4 hours a day, but I do it all during the three days I'm in person. I'm truly doing no work when I work from home two days a week. I work for DC government and there just isn't enough work for me to do. That and no one else really knows what my job is so most people leave me a lone and trust that whatever I'm responsible for is getting done. It's a dream. I could make more elsewhere but have zero interest in working hard ever again.
