    I worked 11.2 hours yesterday. I usually average 9-10 hours a day and only get paid for 8...go figure. How many hours a day do you work on average?

    Usually about 6 - but I only get paid for the hours I work, not for tea breaks lunch breaks, toilet breaks or jsut sitting watching the Alpaca breaks - and I tend to be very honest about the hours I actually am being productive.

      I know what you mean. It pains me to think that I spend about 30 minutes a day total on this site, on company time. Yeah it's interspersed throughout the day but still, my company is paying me to bitch, complain, and laugh on some website that most of us have grown to love.

          That's a lot for Italy, how long for lunch? I spent some time working in Italy a few years ago with another English bloke, and he could not get his head around the working over there at all. First day, lunchtime, whole place closes, doors locked, off to a restaurant for a decent meal and a glass or two of wine. He kept asking "What if someone phones" to which they replied "They're at lunch" and so on and so on. I thought it was bloody marvelous.

                Scheduled to work 8 hours a day, but work about 9. The position is salaried but we are treated like hourly. I must admit that the new IT Directory has helped at making the job more like a salaried position. As noted this subject was discussed a few days back.

                    Mostly it's 8 hours a day that I'm at work. I'm one of the lucky ones. Being in research I can say that I get paid to drink coffee and surf the internet, oh and I write code too. It has been on more than several occasions where I’m digging into some code just centimeters away from finishing the task at hand only to look at the clock and realize I should have left a half hour ago.

                    It was broke, so I fixed it.

                      It's part time (75%). I have 30 minutes for the lunch. :)

                          Again, it is part time (I suppose there are other countries where it is allowed as well). :)

                            'Work' or 'Be There'? There is a difference you know.

                              Had a place once that tried to tell me they require 10 hours per day but only pay for 8. Worse yet, the manager said my family life was a conflict of interest for me working longer. I told them to go to hell.

                                        'Work' or 'Be There'? There is a difference you know.

                                        So, I ask you, do you work when you are there or do you stare into the air without a care? :)

                                          I worked 11.2 hours yesterday. I usually average 9-10 hours a day and only get paid for 8...go figure. How many hours a day do you work on average?

                                          I get paid to do 7½ so 7½ I generally do. It's flexi-time so if I am in the middle of something at 5.30 I tend to stay and finish it and then go home early another day that month. I don't see the point in working for longer than you're being paid for, though – if they want you to work for longer then have something in the contract to that effect and pay you properly for it!
