How much do you actually work? (2 Viewers)

I officially work 28 hours a week. Of that I’m probably working half of it. That half can be intense so they get their moneys worth out of me X 2.

So as an example the answer here is 14 hours.

Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour. Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
Similar to @nirad3 in that it depends and can fluctuate from week to week and day to day.
First week of the month tends ot be busier as we do some month end reporting with tight deadlines. First two weeks of the year are very busy for year end. Then it depends on the timelines and deliverables for the different projects - so some days are easily closer to 10-12 or more and that can carry on for several days/weeks, but then there are some periods where there is a lull and it may only be 4-5 hours of actual work in a given day. It all seems to balance out, and I'm in a spot where I have quite a bit of flexibility on when I work, so that while I am available during normal business hours, if I have a kid's event, I can go to them and will generally work in the evening a bit if it is neccesary.
I put 30-40 as that would be my average.

I'm incredibly efficient at what I do. Literally questions that take my executives half a day to three days to answer, I can calculate in 5-10 minutes. So about a dozen execs offload that part of their jobs to me.
It ends up being very little actual clock time during the week for me. The largest amount of time is setting up the model that can answer the question at the start of the project. Then as the project enters day-to-day mode, it's just changing single variables and seeing what the model answers.

The worst job I ever got laid off from was the unemployment office, I still had to come in the next day.

At my old job I was putting in 50+ per week. I'd basically do catchup work from 5am to 9am, then be in back to back meetings until 3 or 4pm.
New job that I started about 8 weeks ago.. 40 max.
My mornings until 11am are busy. But the majority of the people who report to me are overseas, so my afternoons are free of meetings and I get work done.
Wife noticed two weeks in my anxiety and stress levels were WAY down.
I was lucky to get 5 hours of sleep at my last job. I'm now getting 6 1/2 to 7 hours a night.

I force myself to stay around 30 when I can. Some weeks are 80. But if can do a 6 hour day and then just triage calls and emails I do it. I'm not dying at my desk like a couple of attorneys have in the past few years.

Do meetings where I just stare out into backyard and watch the birds while people talk endlessly count as work?

I honestly get 35-45 hours of actual work in per week. I feel like I did my professional career backwards. 10-20 years ago I had jobs where I did a lot less actual work (and spent a lot more time in the FFA). Now I'm 56 and do a lot more actual work. Not sure how I screwed that up. Poor life choices I guess.

I did my career backwards. The amount I worked over the last 25 years is in direct proportion to the amount of my posts here. First 18 years, posted constantly here, mostly at work. (Damn I miss the werewolf days). Now almost none. I work 50 hours a week easily and all work. Barely look at my phone while there.

My job is very seasonal regarding hours worked but averaging the entire year I work 50 hours a week.

On average I'm actively working about 50% of my day. Some days more than others.
I also spend a bit of time outside of work thinking about work on how to solve a problem or increase efficiencies. I have about a 45-1hr drive in each day where I can gameplan my workday. I think this ultimately frees up more time in my day for me to BS on FBGs.
