40 hours/week is healthy, yes. Most workplaces will expect you to work 50+ while not even paying for overtime.

i have to 44hrs chargeable before i get overtime. i asked/storngly suggested to be moved from hourly to salary because my experience and job title seem a bit ridiculous to be hourly. well, i got a 1.5k pay raise and switched to salary.

needless to say, im looking for another job.

I think 30 hours per week should be the baseline for good work/life balance, I do 30 hours and earn well in the medical field. 40 hours still sounds like too much of your life wasted per week. You'd be surprised how much an extra 10 hours helps with stress and getting shit done.

I agree. I also have a 75% job at university and I can basically come and go whenever I want (or even work from home unless I have to hold a lecture). And I absolutely can't imagine going back to a 9-to-5 job. Unfortunately I probably have to after getting my PhD because of some stupid law.

i think 2 hours a week should be good enough. that would give me motivation to find smarter ways to complete my job instead of just sitting at my desk and staring at the wall

Obviously I would like to work less, if crypto didn't shit the bed that would actually be a reality. But 30 hours per week is decent for this work economy.

Be thankful we're paying you at all. We could be making you work 6 AM - 12 AM. You'd still have enough time to eat & commute and get the doctor recommended 4h of sleep.

Now get back to work goy.

30 hours/week is the absolute max for any kind of work-life balance imo. Feels fucking retarded doing shit you hate all day every day.

[Anonymous No.10021616]

40 isn't so bad when someone else handles all the stress and all you have to do is perform your duty.

Also, you want a career with a pension, like a Union Trade. So every hour you work builds up a pension and likely a annuity.

it means they can fire you or you can quit at any time, it has nothing to do with the actual terms of working for them

i worked construction all last summer. 9 hour days. had to wake up at 5 to get there by 6. worked like a slave all day until like 5 then came home completely exhausted. i would try to play vidya but honestly i was so tired i ended up just starring at the main menu of whatever game i was playing until i heard the microwave beep so i could eat my supper and go to bed by 9 so i could do it all again the next day.

I make 110k a year and am only expected to average 31.8 hours a week for the year and if I go past that I get premium pay of $76/hr.

The work is sporadic though and typically 12 hour days when I do work. I wouldn't really call it "balance" because it's either I'm working or I'm not, but I've had a paid month and a half off now and honestly kind of growing kind of bored. Cheers!

The ideal was supposed to be 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, and 8 hours of recreation.

Except they forgot the one hour of lunch, the commute time to/from work, and all the other shit you have to do around the house. Obviously all of this is coming out of the sleep and recreation time.

I work about 9:30am to 4:45pm and take a 0.5-1.5hr lunch break.

I maybe put in ~4-5 hours of real work every day. It's rare I actually put in even 30-35 hrs.
