I do 6 hrs on a good day, including a long lunch.
My hourly rate is quite something and I've stopped ageing to boot.
You carry on working yourselves to death, the graveyard is full of people they couldn't do without.

9 hours at the client, an hour when I get home, lunch at my desk.
Decent rate though and WFH on Fridays.....

That's some serious pole choking.Originally posted by blackeye View PostDepends on the sector you work in and the scale of your delivery.
I usually do 10-12 hour days in the office with a 10 minute lunch at the desk, as do most others I've worked with.

That's pretty standard for the Perms I know.Originally posted by Fronttoback View PostI'm talking about a 12 hour day as standard. Half an hour for lunch.
I'm talking about total commitment to deliverables. Total commitment. I want to see tears. I want to see people falling out, leaders of men emerge.
I'm talking about fisticuffs outside meetings. No accountability these days. Ownership is frowned upon.
Presenting yourself at the pub after work. No questions asked.
Now it's all about flexibility and lifestyle. And taking a morning off for the dentist or a haircut, on work time.
