How long do you spend time at work?

Hi Care, The normal hours that i work in the office is 8 hours. However, during days when i need to do overtime to finish a deadline or an activity i am always open to it. the most that i didiwith the team was 12 hours straight. that's for medical mission...

i typically work 15 hour night shifts and 12hours at the week end i need these long hours just to keep a roof over my familys head as i only earn £6.20 per hour

My work load is cyclical, so during company low activity season, I just work 8 hours a day. (The minimum requirement is 8 hours per day). During peak season, I might need to stay in the office for 12 to 16 hours a day. The longest that I work last time is 24 hrs because I was rushing for unit testing result and had to spend the night in the production floor. If possible, I won't work late. I prefer a balanced life between personal priorities and career. I would rater spend after work hour on my study on investments.

Unless they don't have a life themselves. I won't spend 16 hours at work without socializing with friends. That is just not normal. I would like to make money, but I have to with friends or family too. I need to balance out my life.

The required hours of work in our company is 8 hours and we get paid for each hour of overtime, but at the end of the day I'm usually tired so I don't do overtime except when it is really needed. I love to go home after a day's work to spend time with my family.

I am a teacher,I work at school about 6 hours.In the world many people may be have no much money,but they are happy.our time is limited,but earning much money isn't our only aim.Our the last task is to making happy very day!DO you agree with me?you like the film Titanic?Enjoy every day!

I work nightshifts so those are my days. I am there for a total of eight hours but we get docked for lunch time and it comes out to 7.75 hours every shift. I don't think it's fair but that's the way it goes I guess. I don't think it's right for a person to burn themselves out when it comes to working and ruin their family time either. It's very hard on kids when they don't get the time they deserve with mommy or daddy. This girl at my work is in a whole lot of trouble with child and family services because she's working nightshifts and sleeping all day while her 3 year old is trying to stab her in the face with scissors while she's sleeping or getting into things that she shouldn't. While her son is telling her that he hates her, and her other 11 yr old is not doing so well in school. Her step daughter doesn't show love towards her either. This girl also works as a waitress at a restaurant two-three times in the evenings a week. So there's minimal time spend with the family and I can see it falling apart now. It was just a matter of time and whenever she comes to work, I hear about all different negative issues going on in her household. It's terrible! Take care

I have a very challenging job but I regularly work 8 hours a day. Sometimes, I work extended hours too like an hour or two but I try not to get used to it or have my bosses get used to me working OT. I want to set boundaries most of the time. LOL.

the required time of duty in my work is 7.5 hours. however, we rarely go home on time. i work at the airport, so when there are delays, we have to stay until your designated flight departs or arrives. we're also required to render overtime services because we're undermanned, so we have to stay longer than 7.5 hours so someone would handle the flights. i have tried working for 20 straight hours one time. it's not exactly an experience i would like to repeat. but when this happens, you can sit out your next shift and just file that you have worked 20 hours the day before, this has to be approved by the manager though. i don't think that working 16 hours all the time is healthy, even for a person who lives alone. it's tiresome and can be dangerous to that person's health, but then, it's that person's choice too sometimes. but personally, i don't like staying for longer hours just to earn money, it is too tiresome and most of the times, the amount we get paid is not worth it anyway.

I have store business and usually i stay up to 16 hours a day. I don't hire people, i just want to hands-on on my business. But don't worry my parents help me here but of course they spent only 10 hours a day here. And Saturday and Sunday usually i work for 10 - 12 hours.

I spend 3 hours in the morning from 8-11 am and another 3 hours in the afternoon from 4:30-7:30 in the evening. My schedule changes every month but this month is really a lot of changes. But I think its a good thing. It is both a good news and a bad news for me. Good news cause work is not as tiring, and bad thing cause I will be earning less.

I work eight hours a day. On occasion, depending on our work schedule, I may volunteer on a day. But, that is usually because our work load has lighten and so has the hours. But, were I work it can be a feast or a famine depending on what time of the year it is.

I spend 9 hours at work now a days including 30-45 minutes of lunch break and 45-60 minutes of gymnasium early morning. Sounds great, isn't it? Well, there was a time when I used to stay at work for more than 16 hours a day and just kept working and working and working, but that was when I was new and enthusiastic .. and now I'm experienced and smart ;)
