We got a mail from management asking our vote on revised working hours. Options are: Option 1 7.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Option 2 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. Option 3 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Option 4 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Current timings are 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM I'm from middle east (Oman). We developers never get to leave on time in the evening and people in other department (Sales, marketting, support, admin, etc) leave on time. So this is gonna be a problem for us. How is the timings on other countries for software professionals? Manu

start between 7 and 9 normal leave between 4 and 6 (but they won't kick you out for working later) an hour between 11 and 2 for lunch 40hrs/week Normally 8hrs/day, but if you have to leave early for something and would rather make the time up than take leave that's OK too. Excepting when i stay late to make up a late arrival/early departure I probably work under 10hrs of OT/year.

8.30am - 5pm, some people flex it, so long as the same hours are done it doesn't matter though. 1 hour lunch and 2x 15min breaks Can't quite remember the overtime pay. I come in when I should and leave no later than is required.

But there is no scale for this, right? Amount of time taken for a work depends on person-person.

My contracted working week is 35 hours, 9 to 5 with an hour for lunch. Normally, I'm in a little after 8 and I only lunch Thursday & Friday down t'pub. That said, thre is the flexibilty to come late some days or leave early. I don't normally take it because I push to the limit during the summer. When the family are at home in Hungary, I'm normally out at 3 on Friday, to fly over for the weekend and then I fly back Monday morning arriving at work around 11. I was also doing that every week for two years before the family moved over.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

they ask me sometimes how long would I take to do this project, and I'm not that experienced to tell them how much times its gonna take.

That's when you use the "factor 2" rule: make a mere effort estimation and multiply it by two.

We've got flexitime here, so
- Earliest start: 8am
- Latest start: 10am
- Earliest finish: 4pm
- Latest finish: 7pm (unless there's overtime)
- Lunch can be taken at any time between 12-2 (30 mins to two hours)
- You have to do 6 hours in the day
- You have to do 37.5 hours in the week
- You can carry 2 hours over to the next week (so you can do 35.5 hours, or 39.5 hours)

That's _at least_ 6 hours then, otherwise you will have to come on Saturdays (since obviously 5d*6h/d < 37.5).

Yeah. It means if you've had a late night you can crawl in at 10, take a half hour lunch, and go home at 4.30, but you need to make up the hours the rest of the week

Whenever an estimate is required, I tend to postpone the answer until I have completely specced out what should be created. That means that one builds a functional specification before answering. Without a list of things to do, every answer would be a wild guess. With the todolist, it's still a guess, but an educated one. Planning the implementation of a project is one of the most difficult tasks that a developer has, IMHO.
