Given that you work 40 hours a week

  2. More than 40 some weeks. Less than that other weeks.

    As long as I get my job done, no one cares.

    *I want to add that this is becoming increasingly more common, at least in the tech industry, results are the important thing. Not how many hours you’re in a chair, or where that chair is. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a job that cared how many hours I worked.

  4. Based on a 40 hour week, probably somewhere between 40% and 125%, depending on the week.

  6. It’s the same amount as when I was in the office, only difference is I can do household chores instead of dicking around on my phone

  7. some weeks, way over 40.

    some weeks, 4.

    my management is aware that’s the case. i don’t hide it. everybody loves me. if i have work, i *work* till i don’t have work. and that appears to be rare here. people really stretch things out to try and show they’re billable all the time. i’m not with that. keep paying me and i’ll be here when you need me. 🤷‍♂️

  8. Same as I did in the office. The majority of my time (~30 hours/week) is spent in meetings.

  11. When I went 100% remote, I started off strong but my company was not set up to handle it well and I was being excluded by my team so my productivity dropped way down. Left that job for a 100% on-site and have no regret.

  12. 25-40%, the same as before I was remote.

    I’m paid to complete a certain amount of work, to make sure my department is running smoothly, and to continue to find ways to improve the ways we do what we do. It isn’t regimented to 40 hours, my boss really doesn’t care much about that as long as I am doing good work.

  13. Depends. If it’s a major go-live week, then very close to 40 hours.

    Average workday? an hour or two, a lot of which is meetings and system/architecture planning. About an hour of productive, actual coding, per day maybe. I’ve reached a position from coding most of the shit to now delegating to other people what I want them to code etc.

    In CompSci the higher your position/pay becomes, the less you tend to ‘work’ but the more ‘valuable’ that work becomes when it comes to seeing the *big picture* per se.

    I never work past x PM (currently that’s 3PM, previously it was 5 PM, depends on the east/west coast client thing)

  14. Yeah, it’s roughly the same as before I was remote. Most days I am probably actually working 50% of the time. What I do with the other 50% has changed, but the overall situation has not.
