      I am supposed to be here for 7 hours 24 minutes a day. I am not sure how much of that can be counted as work.

        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?

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

          There's a vicious rumor going around that you only work part time. Is this true? That's just absurd. Oh, and I'd like to move to Italy too, can I come and stay with you? It's you or Silvio Berlusconi, from what I hear he throws better parties, but is a bit of a slob.

            6 hours, to the minute. Today's the first day I didn't arrive exactly on the hour, just moved to my new apartment and misjudged the time it would take to get here, walked in a whole minute late. :laugh: Although school starts back up soon and I'll be down to 8-12 hours a week (plus maybe a second job TAing the intro C++ class).

                  I put in 9 to 10 hours a day at the office; anything that requires actual concentration and deep thought I do offsite, after hours, as the office is a madhouse. That's okay; being salaried, I can work all the free overtime I want! :sigh:

                    if I know a company has a policy to not pay overtime ( and there are some here in Canada), I only work the 8hrs. if they want to be that way, they have to offer up the incentive.

                      Yes, I believe I'm working part time. You should choose between me and Silvio:

                      • Silvio is a hard worker, I'm part time.
                      • Silvio, I believe, doesn't take personally care about his (many) children, I am an (almost) full time daddy for my two little beasts.
                      • Silvio sees a lot of beautiful girls while, I, unfortunately have to deal with a lot of ugly, elderly, male folks.

                      So it's up to you ('If I could, you know I would' choose 'money for nothing and chicks for free'). :-D

                        If it's true your boss is a genious and I want to meet him. Usually what is almost impossible is that workers work the hours they are paid for. Redoing what you where doing bad in the morning because you did not remember what you did yesterday should count as work? or working knowing that you are not concentrated and should probably be better to do a pause and work later (but you don't do it because you prefer to be at home a 5pm)? Unfortunatelly there are many cheats and good people have to pay for mistakes of others.

                                An avarage day for me is 7:00 am in the car (payment starts) and 21:00 - 21:30 back home (payment stops) I only cut like an hour a day for eating and i think i really use like 30-45 min. But my job isn't bad I do programming from siemens s7 to .net to c and c++ and some engineering in machine building that explains why there is to much work for me...

                                  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.

                                  This actually can be good for the company. Distracting yourself from work once in a while can make you more productive and it can also help you solve problems by moving away from it.

                                      Yeah, but ask him how much he makes an hour, and how much stuff costs where he lives. It averages out.

                                        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 am paid for 8 hrs a day with a 1/2 hr paid lunch. I'm pretty consistent about leaving at the right time, but both my employer and I are flexible. If I need to come in an hour or two late, no sweat, but by the same token I'll stay for a couple hours if something needs to be done. A pretty good setup all around.

                                          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.

                                          My current job (Seattle, US) I'm actually sitting at my desk and working for at least 8 hours a day. I take work home once or twice a week, because I'm really engaged with the work and I ran out of daylight. But I'm working for a startup. The work is incredibly interesting, the other devs are great, there's virtually no management silliness, and there is a reasonable chance we'll get rich. Plus I was unemployed for most of the last two years. I'm older, which means I'm expensive and hard to place, so I want to be sure, expecially initially, that I'm viewed as hard-working and valuable. I worked at bigger companies for about 20 years. At bigger companies, I worked 40 hours a week, with infrequent weeks of crisis. I surfed technical web pages or read paper journals (remember those?) at work. That was fine with them. The boundary between tech stuff I actually need to read for work and stuff i read because I'm curious is not well-defined. I've worked briefly at companies who thought I should work 60 hours a week. We didn't get along. At companies that expect you to work 60 hours a week, people play a lot of foosball, bring silly radio controlled toys, surf porn, and basically waste about 10-20 of those hours. Listen, if you're working at a 60-hour-a-week shop, be advised that there are 40-hour-a-week shops that pay just as well. Don't do it. It'll wreck your life. Nobody ever lay on their deathbed and thought, "Boy, I wish I'd spent more time in the office."
