Curious to see the answers, as I know some people just work a few hours per day
6-9
I work as a bartender. I’ll be working the whole shift from 40% to 100% anything less intense then that I’ll be on break or asked to start later or go home. Usually it’s a 730pm to 2am deal so 6ish ours not including break
I feel like its difficult to quantify for jobs where you’re being paid to think. Even when I’m goofing off, the problem I need to solve for the day is still lingering in the back of my head somewhere. Actively squinting at it doesn’t seem to make things go any faster and when I do return to work it’s usually to mash out reems of code after letting it stew, but yes, the actual amount of time I’m fulfilling my job description is… less than my working hours.

I mentioned once that I feel like my real job is usually done during my morning shower, and wondered out loud whether I could earn more by showering twice each morning.
My boss told me flatly that as an annually salaried employee, I was already being paid during my showers.
Depends. The meetings I attend are mostly useful so I’ll count those as work. Usually 6-8 hours, sometimes 8-10 on outlier days (stay late to work with AU/UK teams, running something outside US working hours, etc.)
It depends on what’s going on. If I have a ton of stuff to do, then 12-14 hours, if things are calm and I’m just working on projects and everything’s in hand, then maybe 2. I don’t get paid for having my butt in a seat, I get paid for results. No one gives a flying fuck how many hours I’m actively doing shit.
