[RESOLVED] How many hours a week do you put in?

[senectus - kbgm]

This post was started by me but bryan_the_tech deserves the credit for it.

I KNOW that I.T. staff are normally the hardest workers around, and normally we don't complain about it either. Normally because we love what we do, and getting paid semi-resnable wages helps as well.
So how many hours a week do you guys put in?

I'm doing between 48 and 68 hours a week normally. Sometimes I work 6-12 days straight doing the above hours, I get paid around the 56k mark ($AU).
I'm the System Administrator of a 160 odd Network aware machines, plus a few other things....

About 45-55 hours a week managing 30 servers (NT, Win2000, Unix, Solaris and Netware) and a 650-700 workstation network by myself and desperately seeking leverage to increase my annual salary above 30K $CAN...

At least that nowadays. But I do get to take a lot of time of during slow periods without taking vacation (kinda like comp time). So it levels of to an average of 60.

40 on the average
Could go up on the occasion that some butthead doesnt show up for work and they call me at 1:00am and ask me to come in.

Totally waiting on a job from Fords to call me into work. (keeping all fingers and toes crossed)

I work my 40 and go home. No need to stress myself over money or what needs to get done at work. The treadmill never stops.

about 45/week
It used to be(and still is suppsed to be) 9 hour days. But I could never make it to work at 8:00, so I just started shwowing up at 8:30, and nobody said anyhting!! So I will keep pushing it till someone says something.

Company regs say I have to put in 37.5 hours every week. I used to work well over 50 hours a week while we were short staffed, but now that we have more employees and little work, I haven't worked an hour of OT in months. My wife likes the fact I am home more, but I miss the extra few bucks on the paycheque...

40 hours a week, give or take depending on how much of my lunch/breaks i miss or take extra time on.

I average about 40 hours a week.

[cc_penguin]

40 hours a week during slow time at regular job, then there's side work which takes about 10-15 hours a week.
