I drive a forklift in a warehouse. I probably work 6.5-7 hours a day.
Sometimes 2, sometimes 12, avg is about 6 to 7. Meetings, email, and messaging are work.
Usually between 3 and 4 but even that feels difficult to reach sometimes, even with fully remote and engaging work
It depends on the day, but typically eight. For every decrease one day, which is most often due to being tired, I have an increase another.
Mon to Fri. Between 8am and 5 pm, 5 hours tops. And that's a generous top. Been WFH since 2014.
I work in freight management at a brokerage. I determine my hours and my clients. That being said, I am also a SAHD and have a toddler and a dog, so between meals, nap times, walks, etc, I probably put in a good 4-5 hours of work, but I'm on call all day in case of emergencies.
I work in IT, so basically anywhere between 0 to maybe 4 hours a day at most. On average I think I actually work maybe 2.5 hours a day.
Well itβs a 10 hour shift with about 55 minutes of break time. Take away another 15-20 minutes for bathroom/smoke breaks and general screwing around. Iβm actually working 8.5 hours of a 10 hour shift.
Anywhere from 2 to 6 hours a day. According to my employment lawyer, being available for work even if you don't have work assigned generally means you must be paid for your time. I work from home now, but between compiling code and taking breaks plus some days can be more quiet than others, it's not too crazy of a pace. The last three jobs I've worked at have been like this, even with one of said earlier jobs being in an office.
If i didn't have a hurry up and wait type job i could pound through everything in about 3 hours. I do walk about 7 miles a night though so thatd suck to have to do in 3 hours on top of everything else.
I get squeezed for every minute. If I work faster - then good - do more.
My workload is inconsistent so it can range from like 1 hour of actual work to more than 6 hours.
Usually about 10-11 hours 5 days a week (9to5ish + 2-3 hours during the evening), and 2 or 3 hours a day during the weekend. I actually like my jobs and this allows me to take longer vacations during summer and winter.

I do around 7-8.5 hours. But some of that is just socialising/chatting with people (I'm in software dev management). Lots of "Sooo... What's your perception of what's going on?" "Things going OK?" "Who do I need to talk to to smooth things over?" kinda stuff (the soft skills side of things). It is super rare to go above that unless there's an incident of some type or something goes totally pear shaped.
I used to do 10+ last job and despised it. Took a step down in pay for this role but so much less stress. Day ends, I log off and detach from it all.
Edit: Put per week, not per day...
