Spinoff: Crazy Hours
With all the GS talk about working an insane amount of hours, I am curious for those that work in an office or other type of professional environment, how many hours everyone works per week. How much time to you put in?

my DH works about 60 - not including the calls he gets on the weekends or if he goes in on a weekend or holiday to catch up

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
The past few months its been closer to 60-70, although this holiday season I have been working 15+ hour days. I hate it

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
I probably log between 45-55 in the office and another 10-15 outside the office (on the train or at home).

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
To answer my own poll. I work a little over 50 hours per week, and i think my hours are awesome. But I used to work about 70 so this is a huge improvement.

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
I used to have crazy hours and a job that required a lot of travel. Including overseas traveling.
I went back to school and made a career change, So now I work 8 hour days with tons of days off and I have to admit that sometimes I am bored! I don't think I would ever want to go back to my old career, but sometimes I miss the corporate world...crazy hours and all!

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
I am supposed to work 35 hours a week but lately its been 45-50.
It doesn't sound like a lot, but with an addiotional 10-12 hours commuting, it's tiring.

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
Never more than 40, no overtime, no weekends. It is one of the main reasons I stay here. For me, I don't want to work more for more $$. I am fine with my salary and not really willing to work extra hours.

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
Mostly- 45 to 50... but, I am always checking email, etc. and sometimes I am required to work the weekend, which I did last weekend and sometimes I am required to be here VERY late-- so I can work a 70 to 80 hour week too.
ETA-- I commute about 40 mins each way too.

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours
Where I am now, I work a typical 9-5 day. I'm usually in though by 8:30 and once in a blue moon I work until 6:00.
My previous job, I worked 12-14 hour days.

The commute really does factor into it, doesn't it...
Add on another 15 hours/wk

Re: Spinoff: Crazy Hours

I am not currently working and so did not answer your poll, but when I recently was (at a law firm) I was at the point where i was billing 300 hrs/ mo. That averages out to 75 hrs per week but, since I did not bill every hour i worked I would say it would be 80hrs plus. It was miserable and not worth the $$$ and, thus, why i left 
That was my life to a tee for 3 years until I finally switched firms (to a mid-sized firm). My life is so much better now! Working 70+ hours/week is no way to live IMO!

Yes, it does. That's why my boss let's us work remotely sometimes. Although I got word that it may change. They are putting a new office manager in and giving her the responsibility of attendance.
If you factor in the commute I work 75 hrs a week sometimes.
