I cannot do 8 hours a day. I go crazy. I can handle maybe 4 hours of actual work. Then I’m ready to get out of the house, go do *something*, anything other than staring at a screen with a fried brain.

How many hours a day are you actually working?


Most of us are "actually working" a lot more than 4 hours a day. I guarantee most are not doing a full 8 though.

Paid for 40 hours, probably do 30-35 hours a week including meetings. Will likely ramp up more.

Previous Jobs:
30-35 Hours

8 intense, highly-concentrated hours. Not a minute more since DOGE. Before DOGE, it was 12 hours per day plus 6-8 hours on the weekend because of litigations.

9-10 hours.

Op, 4 hours a day is nothing. You might have to put more hours in the future so get used to working a lot.
