Queried. 50-60, averaging more toward 60 lately. 70 this week. Don't give me any of that "lol that's what lawyers do" bullshit. It takes 50 just to get to acceptably middle class.

37.5 baby - government standard. :cool:
I am underemployed or European.
Exactly 40 at work, but add 10-20 hours a week to prepare to fail actuarial exams.
40 hours. We start and stop pretty punctually.
Previous job had bipolar disorder. If you worked heroic hours the managers would praise you, but HR would hate you. I heard last month that an ex-colleague of mine already had clocked 200 hours overtime in the first seven months, despite having twice two weeks of vacation in between.
normal work week is 60-84 hours.
I don;t know dude.
While deployed is 24/7, sleeping wen I can.
40-50, sometimes 50+. Damned if my employer isn't making it difficult for me though. <_<
It really depends on my workload. Normally, I'm at work between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekedays but when there isn't much to do I take longer lunches etc.
When I'm working on a transaction, it's closer to 9 a.m. until 8-9 p.m. plus about 10 hours or so during weekends.
37. Any overtime (which is normal to have) gets compensated as flex time. Meaning that if I work 40 hours a week I may at any time of my choosing take 3 hours off.
Also have a weekly work at home day plus most important of all nobody keeps track off when I meet in the morning or go home or how much overtime I have etc. It's all up to me.
FREEDOM!!!!!
A little less than 35 hours, must mean I'm more European than Octavian.
I'm at work for 37 hours a week. How much I work is another question.
50-60 if I am lucky. 60+ if I am not.
My boss works 80+ hours :ph34r:

Pretty much the same for me. :cool:
This summer has been slow, I only worked a couple of weeks between the end of June and the middle of August.
I'm a piece of crap union blue-collar worker so it is a bit different than those that sit of their asses for 40 hours and work for a small portion of that. Normally I work 40 hours a week very consistantly. Anything over 8 hours a day*, or any Saturday work is time and a half; Sunday is double time; off-shift is an extra 17%.. I probably work 100 overtime hours in a year, most of that is because no one else will and I jump in to help.
*If we agree in advance we can work 4 10 hour days, but if we are scheduled for an 8 hour day anything over that is time and a half.
Technically, I'm always on call.
But I find the time to post all kinds of dumb shit here so I must be good at my job. Decent IT guys are busy. Good ones are swamped. Superb ones are bored. :)
37.5 hours, not a damn more.
Right now underemployed AND European, so take that.
Before this I was oficially clocking 39 hours weekly, but reality was closer to 45-50.

Yeah, I was usually pushing 50 to 55 a week when I was working. Glad to see it paid off.

:lol:
At least 40 hrs a week, plus Navy stuff, closer to 50 in reality.
40h + a few bits here and there. Maybe around 41-42h average.
Early in my career, I did 60+ hours. Damn capitalists.
Now, I can decide my own schedule. Which is sweet. Some days I only arrive at 13 PM, give some general guidance, and leave by 18 PM (including internet surfing time, like looking at Languish - you may have noticed I post on Sundays).
If I've got something that does need my personal attention, I can do 7 AM - 3 AM. Fortunately, that doesn't happen that often, as several days of that in a row take a toll on my health.
But on an average week, I'd say I do about 34 hours.

Yes, I do love that in Germany and Austria.
Too bad that the real politics are done in the wee hours of the night over drinks... *sigh*
50-60 this time of the year, sometimes more. Around 30 during the winter.
I put about 15-20 hours a week into my school work.
50-60 counting school...which I do since that is the source of most of my stress.
I don't understand that 40-50 range. Unless one is being paid hourly, one wouldn't be picking up extra cash for addl time.
I have to work 35 hours a week plus mandatory pauses of 45 minutes per day, so I have to be at work for 38,75 hours per week. In reality, I work more most weeks and there is also travel time when I am on business trips which is paid extra if it is not between 6 am and 8 pm on weekdays.
However, as my times are registered, I can take days off to compensate for overtime. In 2011, I took 20 days of overtime in addition to my regular 30 days of vacation. :yeah:
I have asked my boss to increase my regular work time to 40 hours, which would mean I have to be at work for 43,75 hours per week. That's still in the decision process. Which can take time.
I'm under a 30 hour contract. That will jump to 60-70 hours during weeks spent in the field (like this one). Typically I trade this overtime for free evenings when I go back to regular schedule.
Now the key for me though: hours in the office may only be 7.5, but thrown in two hours for getting ready and commuting to work, another hour commuting back, and three and a half to five or more hours with the kids and I'm fucking exhausted at the end of the day.

I fixed your bold tags. :)
Used to take me an hour to get ready for school. Course, half of that was spent sleeping and the other half sleepwalking.

Yeah I noticed that after though you later say commute takes an hour so that's still 1 hour to get ready.
50-60 hour weeks usually but I get overtime so I dont do it for charity. And seeing our biggest market rival just filed for bankrupsy I´m thinking I wont work less hours any time soon.
I thought you wrote 'how much pimping do you do' :blush:
35-40 hours usually, but more when crunchtime comes in December and May.

I guess that's so. I forgot about salaries. Though unlike most hourly workers, I'm in a weird area where I'm both non-salaried and professional, so I don't get time + 1/2. But if I work a 60 hour week I still make more than if I worked a 40 hour week. That's gotta be a really annoying feature of salaried work.
