This should be fun- How many hours a week do you work?

[RickinNYC]

During the slower months, I work about 55 hours per week. But during April-May, then October to early January, I work about 70-80, with six to seven day work weeks. Those are the big months that people want to volunteer.

And no overtime for me. I just get comp time but I've maxed out what I can take already for the year. Not a big deal. This is what I signed up for. I like my job a lot so working the extra hours or on weekends almost always means working on projects with groups that paint or refurbish our shelters, or make a truck load of sandwiches, put together gift bags for clients, sort donated clothes. So it's actually all a lot of fun and never boring.

The boring part is sitting at the office in admin putting these projects together.

 

[Coolio]

I work 118 hours a week.

24 X 7 = 168 hours in a week


168-118 = 50 hours/week not working


7.14 non-working hours per day translates into a little hard to believe. Or if it's true, it's pitiful if you have 1 child and 5 foster kids.

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

I was working 60 hrs a week.
I am no only going to work 40 (just getting back from breast cancer)
This should kill my boss But my health is mt number one job now.
Just kidding about my boss he is okay with it

 

[TinkerbellMama]

At a paid job? Zero.

 

[BabyPiglet]

About 25, but I'm asking my manager to cut it back to 20.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Probably about 60 most weeks... except during summer when it goes way up.

 

[ZachnElli]

40 hours a week, M-F 9-5.

Maybe there's some value billing going on. Or billing for DIS'ing.

I now work as a contractor for the county, so I work as many hours as I need to get my job done. That may be 60 hours one week, but only 15 the next week. I love my job and I love the freedom I now have to work when I need to, any hours I need to and to work at home when I can. I have an office in the courthouse, but I hate going there and spend as little time as possible there.

I don't know HappyLawyer's situation - but this is all to real for new associates.

When my case load gets rough -- I am easily working 90+ hours a week. No, it's not fun. I do not enjoy it. How do I do it- - work very early from home, do not take a lunch hour, and start working again as soon as I feed the kids. DH will have to act as mom & dad during these times.

Whoever said a life in the legal profession was glamorous - was sniffing glue! I can totally understand why so many attorneys have career burn out and quit.

 

[AKL_Megs]

40-hours, 5-days-a-week at one job.

10-hours, 1-day-a-week at another job.

 

[KikiFan]

About 10 -15 hours a week at my primary job

about 6 hours a month at my side business.

 

[Jen_in_NH]

48 hrs a week at my FT job. Unless there's overtime, callback, etc.

Then there's 8 or so hours at my PT job.

But, that's only 3 days, so I get to spend 4 days home with my son

 

[kimmar067]

...WITH, or WITHOUT a paycheck??
