FAO: Those with proper jobs. How many hours a week?

[N.Wood]

In a quizzical mood today, those with full time jobs, how many hours do you work a week and what is it you do?

[Boumsong]

Anywhere from 40 to 65 depending on the workload. Line manager in a paint workshop.

[crilin202]

40-50hours. Im a mechanical engineer

[isitafox]

I work a 28 (I think) week roster which averages out at 35hrs a week as a signaller.

[*gentlydoesit]

45 give or take, classic car restorer. 80+ when I was in refrig.

[Tom Booth]

45 or 50 a week, depending if it's my Saturday shift

[forteh]

37.5 hours, I can claim overtime on that as well though, typically I will do about 20 hours a month extra, not a lot but it's a little extra pocket money

[CurtisRider]

Teacher: Usually do 8-5 Monday to Friday, then 1-2 hours each evening and a full day of my weekend too, so usually 65 hours ish+

[Luke Rainbird]

Currently 18/day so 126/week, but will have most of my weekends and some evenings back again soon which'll drop that to around 80 or so. Officer in the senior service.

For those that'll come back with the money making up for it, my hourly rate is currently less than £3.80 but it's getting me to the place I want to be in terms of being able to up the pay, down the hours and work smart/play hard

Edit; f**k that's a grim way of looking at it!

[David]

37.5 Hours but often do overtime - Electronics Design Engineer.

[JD™]

I always love these conversations. I work as little as possible for as much as possible, both in terms of productivity and monetary gain. I don't know how much I work, because hours don't matter.

It's never long before the willy waggling starts with "I actually work 27 hours every hour, for 49 hours a day, for a single pea from a mouldy pod" as if it's something to brag about. It only says that you're willingly being a complete mug.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, just the general feel of these conversations.

[Matthew_Gibson]

40 hours. Mechanic. With no overtime I'd happily go in a few hours early and stay late. But that's a no no!

[Luke Rainbird]

Is that even legal?

Unless you'd like a tax increase, you'd better hope so

It's a decent salary and once the hours return to normal will be competitive, just a bit lame at the mo. Technically prisoners of war are treated considerably better in accordance with the Geneva convention. Lulz. What I signed up for though. As I said, it's a stepping stone phase on the road to win

Like JD, I'd rather work a lot short term and live a different lifestyle for the rest of my life.
