Our office is open 7:30-4:30 with an hour for lunch. Most employees do go out to lunch each day. Some of the construction guys work 7:30-4 with a 1/2 hour lunch. We also get 2-15 min(ehh its really 30 min) breaks. Its the most amount of time I've ever had an employer pay for that is not billable.

I am in office 32 hours a week and they consider me full time though I typically only bill 28-30 hours I can work through my lunch if I want or take a 2 hour lunch, I just have to bill appropriately.

I"m also in corporate accounting and now work 8-5 with a lunch break on a normal week. During month end close and during year end, I might work until 6. I REALLY want to leave this job but the hours are so good that it'll be hard to find something with the same hours requirement. I've got a higher title but am not trying to climb the ladder right now since it's more important for me to pick up my boys since DH's commute is longer. Pre-kids, I was working a ton of hours since the company I was previously at was sort of a mess.

I work a 35/hour week full time job (public higher education) and my hours are supposed to be 8:30am-4:30pm. While that's what's on paper and the minimum required in my contract, it's pretty much the norm that my staff and I work closer to 45-50 on a weekly basis.

It depends. I am in corporate accounting. When we are not busy I work 35-40 hours. During quarter-close it can be 50-60 hours per week.

It's super flexible, but I'm mostly in the office for 8 hours/day, 5 days/week. Basically, people come in between 8am-10am, and leave between 4pm-6pm. I tend to work through lunch, but lots of people take a break/go out. No one is tracking anyone's hours. As long as you get your work done and are generally available when someone is looking for you, you're good.

ETA: it's a European company (in the US). Not sure if it's a cultural thing or not. Also, we have offices all over the world, so you may need to come in early or leave late for a meeting occasionally due to the time differences.

I chose less than 40 though technically it's supposed to be 40. I'm salary so there isn't any clocking in/out. Most days I get to work around 8:15 and leave at 4:30. I usually eat a quick lunch. Prior to being pregnant, I would eat leftovers and have at max a 30 minute lunch - that's how I leave at 4:30. But lately I leave for lunch to pick something up. So now I'm probably here less than my 8 hours a day. When I interviewed I made it pretty clear flexibility was super important to me because I have small children. It hasn't been a problem - very fortunate to have a family friendly boss and working environment.

I work in medicine. I have 32 hours per week scheduled with patients and then admin time. That alone adds up to about 40 hours. I also round at the hospital and am on call for deliveries which can be 1-5 more hours per week most of the time.

It's so interesting to me to hear so many of you that are able to leave work at 4:30 or 5, that take hour long lunch breaks, etc.!

When I was working before LO I typically was in the office 9-6:30. Some days later. I would get up and work early in the morning then get ready and get to the office at about 9. I worked through lunch or had lunch meetings. Maybe once every two weeks I would go out for lunch and usually stay extra late to get everything done. And I often worked from home in the evenings and on the weekends.

It's the same for DH. He actually works longer days. He usually gets to work at about 8 and stays until 6-6:30. Some days later. And he works from home in the evenings and on the weekends. He does take a lunch but I think it is 20-30 minutes.

It's like this for most people I know in traditional white collar jobs! Just yesterday we went to a holiday event with friends of DH's from work. They were all busting tail to get out of there "early," by 5.

Im in the office 8-3. 35 hrs/wk

I work part time so I'm answering for my DH-- he is generally "in the office" 55 hours a week.

I work in finance....my normal day is 7:30-5, then I usually have a handful of conference calls that take some more hours. A normal "slow" week is probably 50-55. At Month Ends and Quarter Ends I easily hit 70-80hrs a week (especially quarter ends). So I said 55+.

DH works in law, white collar criminal defense. He bills 35-40 hrs a week, plus admin time and what not...he is easily 45-50 per week. However, he also is "on call" I'd say 100%. Meaning - if there is a crisis on a non work time...he works. So he'd also probably average 55-60 hours a week.

I am in the office 9-5ish. However, I work through lunch pretty much everyday and often end up getting to work 15-30 minutes early and/or staying 15-30 minutes late. Probably once a week or so, I do a little more work when I get home, and rarely I do a lot more work at home. I voted 41-45 hours in the office.

I have worked at two relatively high profile places in my field (archival work) and in both places the salaried workers worked 8-5 or 7-4, both with hour-long lunches. But it's definitely a field where the higher up you're placed, the more out-of-office work is involved (usually dinners, events, and emails).

I work 8 hours a day plus an hour for lunch so I am at the office 45 hours a week. Add in two hours of commute and I'm gone for at least 11 hours a day.

I work 8-5 each day with an hour lunch. I normally take the full hour especially since I don't get paid anymore for taking less. And while it doesn't take me an hour to eat, but I spend that time running errands or reading.

I'm a CPA working in corporate accounting at a very fast paced company. During my slow time (~10 weeks a year), I work around 40 hours a week. The rest of the year I work 50-60 hours per week.

I am in the office 9-5, and I rarely eat lunch away from my desk. So 40 hours. Although fairly often, on Fridays at around 3:30 or 4, my boss will say, "let's all go home now!" So that's nice I do sometimes do some work on the weekend though, so it probably balances out.

I'm a BigLaw attorney and I work in the office 5days/week 8-8:30-5 then at home from 8-10pm. I had to go "part time" and take a 20% pay cut to be able to reliably leave at 5 and only do a couple of hours over the weekend.

I love the work I do, but I'm (unofficially) off partner track while I'm part time and don't think the late evening hours are going to be sustainable on my marriage so I'm starting to look for something new. I've basically resigned myself to leaving law since I can't handle the bureaucracy of government jobs (many of which are more than full time) and in-house work is rare in my field.

I usually work 9-4 most days and 9-2 once a week with an hour lunch. So about 30-32 hours?
Hours are only tracked to projects to as long as I hit 32 hours a week I hit my target.
It's not tracked as far as which days or what times I work.

I work as a consultant for a large tech company.
