I spend about half my day or more at work playing videos games on my Steam Deck. And this is the busy season. Come winter, we won't have anything to do.

I make more than the average for my area, and I work weekdays, nine to five. It's a pretty good gig. The last week I've basically been paid to play Baldur's Gate 3.

I've had days of maybe 15 minutes of actual work, and 10 hour days. very variable. I used to have a job paid 8 hours with literally 45 minutes of work a day. loved it, despite the low pay. way before WFH times though so it was a lot of time looking busy

Depends on how you define work. I do my dayjob for maybe 2 hours a day at most and then freelance with the rest of my working day. so I'd average 5 hours of work a day betwen the two jobs.

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.

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

Being unemployed tends to be like that.

7 and a half.

8 hours.

To many cameras around to not do my job

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

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

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

too many and never enough

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

On average, about 5hrs a day. 2hrs on a slow day and 7hrs on a fast 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.

8 hour day, I work 7.5 of that. As soon as I enter the yard I'm in work mode. I work in the city gardens. I'm not surrounded by too many distractions like computers, phones and friends because I'm outside on site and I keep the work conversations about work only. Less drama that way.

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