And it has officially kicked me in the ass!!!

I usually work anywhere between 50-60 hours a week...

How many do you put in?

    5 days x 8 hours
    + a 24 hours shift

    sometimes overtime and extra 24 hours shift maybe as well.

    I swear to god if my boss had to pay me OT he would not be busting our chops to "stay and work later to make a difference"

    40 for me. I feel like a slacker compared to you guys.

    Though I'm not technically on-call, I've given my phone number to my staffs in case of emergencies. I'll get paid if I do receive a call when I'm off.

    Used to be 60 minimum with a minimum of 15 hours of commute time. Busy months would be 70 + commute. This is when I ran Operations for my company.

    Now I run Sales and work from home office. 50 per week, no commute but do have to travel frequently. (And I make more now.)

    Life is good! :D

    Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

    I'm supposed to put in 40 (salary-based) but I work from home and I'm on the road a lot. It really varies week to week.
    I'd say anywhere from 30-50 on average.
    I never work weekends. F that!

    I also like that the thread is titled "how many hours a week do you spend at work?" and not "how many hours a week do you work?" Two totally different things :lol:

    40 for me, or less than 40 because I take an hour & 45mins lunchbreak on Tuesdays to go to my fav yoga class & leave early on Tuesdays as well to get to a meeting I go to. If I do have to come in early or stay late(never really happens) I take time in lieu to make up for it. + when I'm at my desk most of the time i don't have much to do so am just surreptitiously surfing the net. I'm looking for a new job coz it bores me to death!
