What time do you start work?

We try to get to work by 7:30-7:35, by the time I walk the 1/4 mile to my desk I'm usually working by 7:45. I don't take the coffee/breakfast breaks that many at my work take. We get 45 mins for lunch and I can leave at 4:15pm (usu. stay until 4:30 'cause I carpool w/my boyfriend). Many at my work are on the really early schedule: 6:30-3 or 7-3:30, and anyone getting in at 8 or after are considered "late starters" The #1 thing I LOVE about my work is 7.75 hour workdays!!!!!!!!!

 

I work 730a-500p mon-fri

 

i work M-F, 8 to 5. my commute is not too bad... just a half an hour..... now with the new prius, it's even better, i look forward to the drive now

10 hour day, 184 days, $70,000 a year comes out to $38.00 an hour. That's before they take out all of the taxes, retirement, medical etc. It doesn't count the extra time for training, conferences and classes nor the expenses.

There are companies that pay for their employees training and/or send the employees to training on company time. My relatives seem to work for these types of companies.

While some people do take work home, many do not. When the work day ends, the job ends and they go home. Their weekends and evenings are their own.

I'll bet few people have to buy office supplies for their own use.

I've got a masters degree and I resent people who think I don't work hard enough or I should be making minimum wage, because what I do isn't important enough to justify my salary I guess. I happen to think I'm a bargain at $38.00 an hour. I think I should make more than a checker at a grocery store.

 

Alarm goes off at 4:30AM
Out the door at 5:00
Arrive at work at 5:50
Start work immediately checking all systems - then get break for cup of tea or coffee and some BS'n with co-workers
30 minutes for lunch
Leave work at 3:30PM (or there about but usually out no later then 4PM)
Arrive home about 5:00PM (if out on time)
Commute length about 44 miles each way

I never have a set schedule since I am self-employed but I typically stay at least until 7pm at night
and never leave before 8:30 usually 9:00am. to 8pm.
