Hellobee Boards

I work 40. I'm in architecture and work 7:20 - 4:20. I generally work through lunch and very rarely go out.

I think your first option was supposed to be <40, right?

I technically work 36 hours one week and 44 the next. We do a 9/80 schedule, where over the course of two weeks, we work 80 hours, but in 9 days, so I have every other Friday off. The Fridays I do work, 4 hours count towards one week, and 4 count towards the other week. So my timecard has 40 hours each week.

Hubs works full-time and he works 37.5 hours!

ETA: Hours. I work 7:00 - 4:00 (9 hour days because of the weird 9/80 schedule and I work through lunch). Hubs works 8:30-4:30 with a 30 minute lunch break.

42.5 hours/week (when it's FT) in engineering. 32.1 is considered "full time' at my company, though, and I know quite a few moms now who work that schedule

I'm part of a vanpool and I get to work at 8am and leave at 5p. So 9 hours a day.. 45 hrs a week.

I work 8-4:30 with a one hour lunch break, which I sometimes work or have meetings through. I do frequently finish up work and constantly check/respond to emails at home. I'm an academic librarian :).

@Mae: The normal hours at my job are 8:00 - 5:30, with a 30 minute lunch (so you're working 9 hours, but in the office 9.5), but I refuse to do that and I have to leave early for daycare pickup anyway, so I do 7:00 - 4:00.

35 paid hours per week, 40 hours in office. I work 9-5 with a 1-hour lunch.

40 or under.

Our hours are 8:30-5:30 with an hour lunch. I do more like 9-5:30, so I just take a half hour lunch. None of my time is tracked so it's just an understanding between my boss and I.

@Mae: ah I see - at my job I just have to work 40 hrs (no set time) - all they care about is that my work is getting done

@Mae: i just came out of my other job that was 7:30-4:30 with a lunch I almost NEVER took. That was fine too! But yeah an extra half hour in the evenings does help me get everything done.

My hours are 8 to 5 with a 1 hour lunch that I did not include as my in-office hours. Some days I can take a short lunch and leave early, but generally we are expected to be here 8 to 12 and 1 to 5. Some days I'll go out to eat/grab groceries, some days I'll sit at my desk and read.
My first job out of college was the same.
My 2nd job was 9-5 with no official lunch break, if we wanted to take a lunch we had to come in at 8.

I chose 41-45. I don't take lunch usually so I get a lunch credit and I work until 6 many nights and am on call once a month so I think that's the average.

When I was in a more intense career path, I would say I was in the office 50-55 hours per week if I didn't have something closing (i.e. a transaction finishing up). Now, I'd say I'm in the office 35-40 hours per week, but I am in different career path and in government. Occasionally, I bring work home.

May I say that this can also be regional? I live in NYC and having intense work hours is pretty common here for many people at certain levels OR in certain industries.

I'm in the office from 8:45 or 9 until 5:15 and I take a 30 min lunch. I used to work from 9-6 with a 30-60 min lunch, but after LO was born, I cut my schedule (and honestly I get the same amount done).

I don't know that 9-5 ever really meant that? I don't think it's really a new thing to work 9 hours a day for 40 work-hours a week. Unless most employers used to pay for lunch periods (?)

I spend between 40-45 hours in the office each week. Generally a few of those are done from home, but not many.

I work in the (large) law department of a very large insurance company and everyone works about 40-45 hours. The AVPs I work with work maybe 45-50 hours a week, and the VPs and SVPs work more - but nobody is out there killing themselves on a regular basis. People are not working like 70 hours on a regular basis. Some weeks are definitely more though.

8-5 with an hour for lunch. We used to be 9-5 but the boss changed it and quit paying us for the lunch hour.

I turned down a job recently because one of the job requirements was being there at a minimum 830-6 every day and not expecting to fly out of there at 6 on the dot if there was still work to be done. No thanks.
