for a lot of people these days it's probably 8 hours because getting paid for something doesn't necessarily mean doing something useful.

I work 8, in that 8, I'd say I do maybe 4-5 hours good work. The issue is though, it used to be 8 plus more a day, we were short staffed, over worked and every day I did overtime. The work load has increased but our methods and working process has decreased time. I've got better at my job making my work time for things that would take me 2 hours, only 30 minutes for example. Plus it's not consistent work, so one day I'll be non-stop work, the next day 2 hours if that.



Hmm, pie.

I spend about 3-4 hours every day not doing something useful. but the rest of the time i don't work and surf the web.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I'm watching bloodsport right now while supposedly preparing a report



It really depends what shift I'm doing. You can divide that into 4 categories. I work in IT.

Local maintenance - Depends on what has to be done but could be working time from 1 to 6h.

Day Customer support - Usually I work about 6h on those though there have been enough instances where I had to work 9h straight including the break.

Evening customer support - About just half as much to do than over the day so usually 4h work.

Night customer support - almost nothing to to. In average about 1-2h work in a shift.

I live in the US. I have no college education. So when I have a job, it's working for a cold, capitalist corporation or business that doesn't care about me at all. They only care about using me and making me a slave until I break down and bleed. Then, when they no longer need me, they fire me like it's nothing. So when I work for them? I do as little as humanly possible and try to take their money. I figure, they don't care about me at all, so why should I care about them. It's a game of who can screw who first, and I always win.



Somewhere between 5 - 6 hours. My job is pretty easy and also very boring. I tend to lose my mind after a few minutes, so I end up doing a couple things that aren't work-related to keep me sane. I browse the web/facebook using my phone, read books, write stuff and roam around the office chatting with the female co-workers. Boss doesn't do a damn thing. I'm an accountant btw.
