How much do you actually work in a typical the day ?

[2uk]

This post was supposed to have a poll .

WORK means actually thinking about the client's affairs and not your own.


Can you express in percentage ? Last 2 weeks I've worked about 1.5 hours ( 6 hours pretended I am working ) max but being paid 7.5 hours.

The best part is I don't care about being sacked ( I mean contract terminated ). Even interested in finding out how long before they start questioning whether they need me.

Honestly, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour on average.

[oracleslave]

anywhere between 30 min and 12 hours

Every day different. Last 2 weeks very very quiet. Min about 15 minutes. But I did 24 hours a few times. I guess average is about 6 hours?

Honestly, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour on average.

Sounds about right to me. I don't know how I would cope with my personal admi if I ever had a prolonged spell on the bench

Yesterday 9 hours non stop.

Today and the rest of the week, about 30 mins tops.

[Sockpuppet]

I'd say about 8 hours per day.

Then again I've got 1 main client whose offices I sit in a 3 clients where I do the work off-line.

So I sit at ClientCo office and work on other clients work and bill both. Nice IR35 pointer and a nice invoice creater as well.

So the more work I do the more I get paid (or in reality the less I do when I get home).

had a major deliverable this week, so 4-5hrs Mon - Wed, then .5hr yesterday and today.

(todays work was to rearrange a meeting on tuesday so i can get away earlier as its in Guildford!)

Again, can wildly differ day to day depending on deliverables, my state of awakeness, other personal things going on that I need to sort etc. There is no 'typical' day. 30 mins to 9 hours.

Some days from the min I get in to the min I leave, other days nothing, the most I have done today is ring up the help desk to get my voicemail password reset.
