I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

My days vary, depends on the amount of clients. 6-10hrs and I am doing physical labor so its at maximum 10-15% downtime

I find 4 hours a day ideal (if I have to work at all) and 6 hours optimal.

Depends a lot day to day. Sometimes like last week, 7 out of the 8 hours. Today, so far none. Not much useful to do, so just do useless trainings.

Well it’s a 10 hour shift with about 55 minutes of break time. Take away another 15-20 minutes for bathroom/smoke breaks and general screwing around. I’m actually working 8.5 hours of a 10 hour shift.

Education in a Title 1 school. I'm contracted five days for eight hours, but I probably work more like ten hours with before school and after school activities and additional stipend duties I've taken on. You don't get much in the way for downtime between meetings, grading, and planning.

Weekends are my time. Non-negotiable.

Mon to Fri. Between 8am and 5 pm, 5 hours tops. And that's a generous top. Been WFH since 2014.

It depends on the day, but typically eight. For every decrease one day, which is most often due to being tired, I have an increase another.

I actually do about 4h of productive work a day and ~3h of meetings (some consider that work). There's always about an hour in a day where my brain is jelly. Wish I could take a nap in the afternoons like I did when we had WFH. I was more productive with an afternoon nap.

I get squeezed for every minute. If I work faster - then good - do more.

If i didn't have a hurry up and wait type job i could pound through everything in about 3 hours. I do walk about 7 miles a night though so thatd suck to have to do in 3 hours on top of everything else.

Anywhere from 2 to 6 hours a day. According to my employment lawyer, being available for work even if you don't have work assigned generally means you must be paid for your time. I work from home now, but between compiling code and taking breaks plus some days can be more quiet than others, it's not too crazy of a pace. The last three jobs I've worked at have been like this, even with one of said earlier jobs being in an office.

0.5 hours a day in average. I get nice pay for it. The beauty of support 🤣

About 2hrs per job.
