How many hours a week do you work?

[Ididnthityouharold]

I work an absolute maximum of 40, usually 37/38. I refuse to go over 40, I've done this in the past. I wish I could go down to part-time but I can't afford to financially like many people.
I know people who do 50-70 hour weeks and no idea how. Even now I don't always feel like I have enough free time, and I don't have children or anything.
I had a community care job a couple of years ago in which I lacked the confidence to say no and they took full advantage of me, I was out from 7am-9pm several days in a row until I started speaking up.
Also, how long is your working day?
I used to do 12 hour shifts in a care home and found it far too long. Some people do 5 of these in a row and I've no idea how they get the time to do anything else like cooking or cleaning. I've gone down to 6 hour shifts, people have commented that I seem to have a lot of energy, but I find them a breeze now after doing 12h.

About three days. Self employed.

37.5 hours a week. I don’t generally go over this, sometimes, but it’s within my power to choose to do that or not. I work 9-5 with 30 min lunch.

I’m employed to work 35 hours a week but most weeks work over that - I am lucky I work from home so can be flexible and I have a DSS who we have for 4 days a week so can work around him as much as possible. I average around 40/42 hours a week most weeks.

3 days a week at moment (still have primary aged DS.) But also do pockets of freelance work here and there to bump income.

20 hours in one job over four days, but leave the house at 8 and get back at 4. I have a 90 min commute each way thanks to crappy public transport. It’d cost 20% of my wages to drive in and park which would be 20 mins each way but not feasible.

The other day I work 2-8 hours doing the admin and general sorting for the business DH and I own together.

About 20hrs contact time and then some admin on top (managing my diary, writing reports). Self employed.

37.5 are my contracted hours. In my sector there's rarely a need to go over unless we've asked for overtime. I work 8:30-5 with an hour for lunch.

21 hours over 3 days

37.5, from home. Totally flexible but generally 8-5 with a break to collect dc from school.

2 x 12 hour nights and 2 x 3 hour days so 30. It’s the perfect balance for me

About 30 hours. I'm self employed and could do more but I'm happy with my income and work/life balance the way it is.

Oh and that's roughly six hours a day - 8.30-2.30ish.

1 hour a week, but not every week. Self employed but my disability means I can't work much.

Contracted to 35 hours and I work pretty much exactly that. Some days I work a bit extra, other days I knock off a bit early or take a longer lunch break.
Really happy with my work/life balance at the moment.

37.5. I work 7.30am - 5.15pm 4 days a week.

Anything from 35 to 60+ depending on how much there is to do/time of year!

Mid 40s... I have a full time job 37.5 hours plus a couple of part-time extra jobs. Though the full time job could very easily take up every minute of every day and I would still be behind.

22.5 hours I'm paid for.

I used to work much more than that (paperwork and meetings sometimes on my days off) but after just recently returning after having a bereavement, I've decided I'm not going to put myself through that anymore unless it is something I really can't get out of.

On a good week between 45-50 hours can often exceed that. Contracted to do 37. WFH good part of the week which helps and will generally log off for a couple of hours 6-8pm for some time with my DD and then will log back on to get some work done in the evening. I work in public sector.

Officially I do a 37.5 hr week.

I don't think I've actually done those hours since my first few weeks over 20 years ago. I've had periods when 60+ was not unusual (even 80+ at 2 different stages, both were relatively short-lived and necessary though). I have tried to keep it close to 40 more recently, but it's still usually at least 45-50 range.

But not only do I mostly like what I do, I can see that if I get through what HAS to be done, I can also make progress on the things that COUlD be done and those are the things that have the potential to make a massive positive impact int he longer term on many others (not directly on me). So I want to get to those coulds if I can.

40 hours a week over 5 days, with 30 min lunch break. I WFH 1 day a week and am out and about with different clients the other 4 days, so I also get a chance to have a coffee break, nip to the shops or run errands etc between clients.
Rarely work beyond my hours.

I recently changed careers from a school job where I was working on-site 50 hours a week and taking work home which probably added up to 60 hours a week. So my new role feels like bliss!

50 hours a week, I am a nanny.

I do 28 hours a week but spread it across 5 days so I have some early finishes to do the school run. I’m very protective of this so except on rare occasions I don’t go over my allotted hours. Luckily my employer doesn’t expect anyone to do this. I think in some teams it might be different but if I’m seen to be online at an unusual time, I will be asked about it (not in a hostile way, more checking in)

38. I can work flexibly between the hours of 8am-6pm. I usually finish around 2pm on Fridays. My salary is £21k so no way am I doing 50 hour weeks for that!

40 hours a week, 9-5. No proper break for lunch (or any other time) as we have to cover phones at all times and me and my colleagues are lone workers in our branches.
