I'm a graduate student and it varies wildly. When I have to work on my dissertation and teach I definitely work a full 40 hours. Teaching alone takes a shit ton of your time.

Entirely dependent on the job I’m working. I work in film, so sometimes we’re on a prelight and the day is 12hr, I could work anywhere from four to maybe 10. Then some days were on 10hr shoot days, and I could work maybe 30 min. And then there are days like this week, working a documentary on multiple locations, and I worked a collective maybe 40 min/day (with a 9:30 call and me leaving by 2-3 while getting paid for 12hr).

Same. 3h or less usually. Love my colleagues, the work is fine. But the requirements are so low that I'm able to manage a startup during work hours 😌 #softwaredeveloper

Mostly 2-3 hours of an 8 hour day. Once a week I have to go in guns blazing for 5 straight hours of work in a 10 hour shift.

Being unemployed tends to be like that.

All 8 hours. It's a physical job, I'm on my feet all day, but it's one of the better ones I've had recently.

8 hours.

To many cameras around to not do my job

My job requires me to work 7h a day. When I am working from home I will probably work 6h-6.5h since I will take two 15 minute breaks but otherwise there is nothing to distract me. If I work from the office however that number easily drops to 4.5-5h since I will be interrupted all the time by various issues and also just take more breaks due to others taking them as well.

Edit: I don’t really know how it is to work from a hole, but I know how to work from home

About 2.5 hours before lunch, then long 90 minute lunch, then maybe 3 hours. So I guess around 5.5 hours.

In an 8 hour day, I'd say probably 7 hours

The other hour probably bathroom trips, coffee/water breaks, occasional quick chats with coworkers throughout the day

I can't hit a full 8 hours actual work unless I do a 9 hour day.

Sometimes I have a shorter lunch break or try not to poop until I get home lol, so I can hit 8 hours quicker

I'm stuck in the food service industry, so I work 9hr days 5 days a week :) All gruelling and soul-sucking, of course!

I estimate about 4 or 5 hours of actual work per day. I'm a high level IT engineer. The rest of the time is just organization or resting my brain between difficult assignments.

I was previously an IT manager and averaged 11+ hours of work per day.

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.

Probably something like 6h or so. I enjoy my job and I think I do it well, but there's only so many hours you can juggle complex logic in your mind per day before your brain turns to mush. After that point any further minute spent staring at the screen would just be a waste of my time and motivation.

referring to how much time working? or how much time I spend doing my job? I have no problem working in the garden or on the house – but having to do a job so I don’t starve or go homeless makes me a little resentful …

Most days 4 or 5 hrs. Around 5% of the time, 12+ hrs.

Sometimes 2, sometimes 12, avg is about 6 to 7. Meetings, email, and messaging are work.

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

As a rad tech, I work as little as 3 hours to as much as 8-9 on my 10 hour shifts

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.

7 and a half.

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