Working hours?

[Sweety-Sama]

Hey guys!
RT and me were discussing different working times in different countries...
What is your work time? What's the average in your country?

I work from 7:25 to 17:10 o'clock. This is caused by the bus only driving every hour to my work. My contract says from 8 to 17.
In Germany it's common for office to start work at 8 o'clock, but recently it's slowly changing to 9.

I used to be 9 to 5, then it became 8:30 till 5, then it became 8 till 4 (all different companies). Now in theory it's 7:30 to 4:30 with an earlier finish on Fridays, but in reality it can be as early as a 5:30am start and as late as a 6:30pm finish. Every day is different.

[Etherealicer]

I work 8 to 18, with an hour long lunch break... Like many here I'm supposed to work 42h and as long as someone is in the office during default office hours (9-12 and 13:30 to 17) I can be at work whenever I like.
Swiss Air Force though has office hours from 9 to 5

[kirk13]

I work alternate weeks of 10-7 and 11-8,with an hour commute eiher side

[Megan]

I generally work 9am-5pm
Monday - Friday.

But then we put in many hours working on our other projects and businesses.

[dks]

you have jobs ?? 

[Zed]

At the moment 2 jobs,day job 3-4 hours as building it up,starting at 9am,night job 7.50pm till 8am,12hr shifts,3-4 shifts a week,hopefully as my buisness builds ill cut my night shifts down 

[pfrsantos]

So, we're talking working hours or office hours?...

 

[NKlamerus]

Uhhh...

I'm in school

830-245 on Monday and Wednesdays.
And 930-1215 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

My work schedule is simple "when there is work to be done, you do it" lol

Workdays after school I clean bounce houses/water slides. Weekends I deliver them.

[N_N_R]

Now if I have to describe my jobs, I'm gonna get totally confused myself

Job 1: Theoretically 8am to 12pm, but I can run errands all day long from when I get up to when I go to bed or not at all, so yeah.

Job 2: 7pm to 9pm Mon-Wed, plus some other stuff I do during the day which may take up to two hours

Job 3, which hasn't started yet, but it'll be another part-time long-term thingie, each Saturday 7am - 7pm, the commute's included in this.



Otherwise, the *normal* people usually work from 9am to 5pm, more and more often. Previously it was common to have 1st and 2nd shifts, but not anymore, it seems

[Crow]

Normal days are 08.00 to 16.00. from monday to friday. But i work my own chedules, so if i am on road, i might go on 6.00 to how long is needed, somedays up to 21.00. Sometimes saturdays if needed.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Some days I work for an hour, other days I work 14 to 16 hours.  I generally put in 20-30 hours a week on average, but at the cost of being on call 24/7.  I work in shipping, and deal with accidents when they happen, which means I could start working 14 hour days immediately after Whoey arrives from Spain (as happened last year) or I could get a phone call at 10pm on a Saturday evening to attend a container full of uranium that has been dropped.

When these sorts of incidents happen I could literally be working 16-20 hours a day until they are properly dealt with.  It makes it almost impossible to schedule things and I have wasted a lot of concert tickets and cancelled a lot of doctor/dentist etc appointments over the years as a result.

But then my job is far from ordinary around here....

Def

[detron]

6:30am to 3:00pm with a 30 minute lunch.

however, I can adjust that as needed, as long as my start time is between 6:00am and 8:00am.
if not, I take leave.
I also have the ability to work from home from time to time

[Rossko07]

I have a trade background and work 6am-2pm. It's only 8 hours which goes really quick. I wouldn't mind working longer hours really.

Wish I could work 4 ten hour days and have every Friday off though lol.

[Zephon]

I generally work 9am-5pm
Monday - Friday.

But then we put in many hours working on our other projects and businesses.

This is also the generally accepted norm here.

I have a desk job doing reports and spreadsheets (MS Office stuff) for counterparts / partners in the USA or UK.  Luckily my working hours are 0700 - 1600; 1hr lunch break, M-F.  There's a 30-45min commute on both ends.

Considered as "regular" hours in Manila are 0800 - 1700 or 0900 - 1600 with M-F (if you're lucky) otherwise M-Sat, there's even 0800 - 1800 but that's M-F only.  If you're lucky to work for a US-based company then they'll follow a 45hrs a week schedule.

I like your hours!

[styx]

Officially it's 8:00 to 16:00, the company is going towards the 9:00 to 17:00 but I'm still pushing for a compromise of 7:30 to 15:30

[Ricardomfs]

Always the same, 8:00 to 20:00 our 20:00 to 8:00, always 12h, 21 days of work for month, my life is a prision , but at least, i have money at the end of the month... it will get better.

I want to go to Sweden, 6h of  work per day..... that would be awesome........

[Monrogue]

I work at a bank, 8:00am to 4:30pm M-F.  Typical office job hours.

Me too!(But I doubt it is gonna take a while for me to adjust)

I like his the best.

Seriously, I feel work hours in Asia is genuinely longer.  9-5 jobs are only found in the government jobs, and most jobs have much longer hours. 

My hours are semi-flexible, 9-10 in the morning, but will last until whenever that day is over.  Sometime necessary business meeting or dinner will drag on late into the night, and sometimes I get to go home soon after 5.  Often time, my weekends are occupied with meetings/greetings/meals.

[eddie1115]

Most weeks I work 8:30am to 5:30pm M-F.  One week out of every five, I'm on call support, which is 7x24 coverage, and usually turns into a couple middle of the night phone calls during the week and glued to my laptop Saturday morning and possibly afternoon.

[moonweasel]

Alternating weeks of 7.30-4.00, and 9-5.30. With a 8.30-12.30 every second saturday.
And on top of that, roughly once a month a week of oncall so 24/7

ive gone very wrong somewhere as do at least 4 12hr  night shifts but do every Friday 

[hiraethus]

0830 - 1700 Monday - Thursday with 1/2 hour for lunch
0830 - 1330 Fridays, 1/2 hour for breakfast.

[magentus]

0830 - 1600 Mon to Fri, I live where I work so am often up in the night or weekends seeing to something or other.

It's much better than when I was working in care like Zed - weekends, nights, 24 hour shifts, 36 hour shifts when no one turns up to take over - I don't miss that at all.

[AlephZero]

Lately it's been mostly 8:30 - 17:00, but I could start at any time between 6:00 and 9:00 

1/2 hour lunch included

[ducttapetech]

I currently work 05:00 to 13:30.

It took me awhile to get use to the hours. I worked 16:30 to 01:00 for years.
But I love being done at 13:30 and have the rest of the day to do whatever.

I think what's nice about this is you could totally avoid the traffic, and almost having a half day off each day!
