How many hours a week do you guys work? - Wagie wagie how long you spend in cagie?

[DamnWolves!]

How long do you guys spend working and how do you feel about it?

I've got a remote white collar job as an low level exec and I find I'm routinely putting in 10 hour days; sometimes longer. I get paid well; 150k-ish, but after tax it's not like "hire people to take care of all the other stuff in your life so you can work all the time" well; more like "fancy dinners and wine" well. I know that'll seem ridiculous to the NEETs, but I'm hoping someone else here has been through this stage on their way to boomer-style success and can advise.

Curious if this normal for management and I'm just being a bitch about it -- I've known a lot of workaholics trying to avoid going home to their families and I have no desire to join em. I'm good at my job; I want to get paid for my expertise, not hours at a laptop... can I expect to make the big bucks and still keep the hours under control, or is this just what's expected at this level?

 

[Meat Target]

40 hours, but much of that is either shitposting on KF or doodling.

I've mastered the art of knowing how much I can fuck around while still getting everything done on time.

 

[Gargamel]

An average of 77 hours per week in 2022, which paid about 150k.

 

[Testacles Maximus]

I work the street corners from dusk until dawn. I don’t get paid by the hour but it’s good money if you don’t mind wearing black leather.

 

[Shamefur Dispray]

Blue collar job, usually work 7:45 to around 4:00 Monday through Friday. Some weeks we work more some weeks we work less. In November we worked 7 day work weeks for the entire month.

 

[HyperboreanRightsActivist]

Mix of white and blue. Getting real tired of having zero downtime

 

[Pee Cola]

Right now? 0 hours a week. Retired from the (((finance industry))) and its 60+ hour weeks a couple of years back and am now living on a modest passive income from savings, shares etc. I wouldn't mind going back into the workforce and doing some seasonal blue collar laboring type work at some stage, but I have a couple of projects on the go that take up most of my non-shitposting time right now.

 

[JethroTullamore]

I work around 70 hours per week between two jobs that both suck. One pays just over minimum wage and the other isn’t bad but it’s not great. I’ve worked as many as 90plus hours when my second job needed extra help, and have done many 18-24 hour days before.
I stared working two jobs when I was a teenager, stopped for several years than picked it up again around 15 years ago.
I’m tired, I’m really fucking tired.

 

[Visibly Disgusted]

168 hours a week, I fuckin love it. 24/7 Can't stop won't stop I'm always grinding and I'm ALWAYS hustling

 

[Pim Fortuyn]

I'm at work 40h a week, actual work is more like 15h to 20h if you aren't retarded.
Salary perfectly in the median, though below median for my sex + age group I think. If you get a cheap car and don't go on vacation it's a good life, never gonna be able to buy property though, probably. Over a month paid leave, unlimited paid sick leave if your doctor signs off on it.
I of course live in a country that has real cheese and bread and olive oil in pesto.

 

[Not a bee]

I used to work part time at a blue colour job 20-25hr (depends how late I am staying) with bonuses, temporarily on leave until after recovery and doc gives me the okay to work again, and I draw for monies in the meantime.
I don't like full-time it drives me nuts I give people credit that do.

Edit; To answer your question I have no idea I am sorry. 10 hours a day is a lot though IMO. The pay you make sounds great though to make up for it.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Used to do 55-60. Heavy physical labor at a steel mill. I was fucking miserable and exhausted all the time, especially since 4 hour to-and-from-work transit was also included. Now I do maybe 12 out of 40 on a cushy IT job which allows me to fuck around however I please, since literally every other employee along with the boss is a tech-illiterate boomer.

 

[Fastest Hand In The East]

Some days I sit with the thumb up my ass and count time until 16:30- that's when I usually can make my escape. Other days I'm working until 22-23 hours in the evening.
Sometimes I need to take 2-3 days business trips, which I count as working 2-3 days. 8 hours in an airplane is a fucking disaster.
In the end it all balances and I work on average the same as everyone else. 40-45 hours weekload.
One place where I worked at had a worload of about 50-even 60 hours per week. Man, fuck that, this buck isn't for breaking.

 

[Blindeye]

As few as I can get away with

 

[BMO_]

-1.
No, I don't know how.

 

[Roland TB-303]

I’m annoyed if I get more than 5 slack messages a week.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

I'm a farmer so I'm up at sparrows fart & in bed whenever I get the chance.
These Kiwis aren't gonna grow themselves ya know

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

Too many. I'm a lowly intern who has to both train and do client handling for peanuts. I escape the moment the clock ticks my shift end, but the glares I get are hard to ignore sometimes.

 

[Niggergante]

40 nominally but I'm mostly ticket based so it depends on demand. My off time I'm here, like I am forever.

 

[Blobby's Murder Knife]

Usually 20-30 hours a week, but asscrack of dawn shifts.
