Clocking time at 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?

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 am not sure how much of that can be counted as work.
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.

You lend credence to what I have always heard about people that run their own businesses...long hours, usually.

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."

When I would be onsite doing computer controlled conveyors, the plant managers expected you to cover all three shifts. During one grueling install, I went from 10am Friday to 6pm Monday with 8 hours of sleep sprinkled in between. My personal high was 110 hours in one week. They had fired my wonderful boss and had brought in this know nothing. We had done some industrial espionage the previous week and I had stopped to pick up the film on the way the office so I didn't make it there until 9:30am. The new manager met me at the door and explained that we worked 8am to 5pm. Now I was used to spending most of my time on a job site and explained that to him while handing over the film. He said we should be doing the same hours at the job site. Oh really?, I said, thinking this will be fun. We're scheduled to go onsite next week. Man, was his butt dragging at the end of his first 12 hour day. He just couldn't believe that the environment was that different between the office and the warehouse. I smiled and enjoyed every moment of his discomfort. He was truly clueless in the office as well. I really enjoyed the job and since I was away from home, I didn't mind the hours. Now I work in an office with fairly tight security and they chase my butt out at 5pm on the dot so they can set the alarms. My badge won't let me in until 1 second after 7am.

I work for myself, and in a typical week I'll start work proper* about 9:30, take 1.5-2 hours for lunch and a run, and then work until 5:30 or 6. * i.e. coding/marketing/paperwork etc. Overnight support emails get answered over breakfast way earlier. On the flipside, I regularly put in late evenings and weekends when the need arises. It's pretty hard work, but I love the flexibility.

I've seen this before. Why exactly 24 minutes? Enlighten me. Before, I guess there was confusion about the 24 as a number. It may well represent the 24 hours of a day so not that precise there I am afraid :). Despite that, like Bill Maher says, I like to pretend "I'm swiss". Cheers.

Well that's just plain daft. Are you on an hourly rate or yearly salary? If yearly salary, your hours are governed by the wording in your contract of employment. If paid hourly, you have a right to be paid for every hour worked. I do not work one minute longer than what I am paid for. The reason for this is very simple; when the shit hits the fan and the place goes bust, do you think my boss is going to see me all right or look after his own sorry arse?
