Be honest... how many real hours are you working per week?
Not meetings or being online… actual focused work. 10? 15?
I think most people spend their time in meetings instead of actually working.

@y1 let me guess. over 50, years in the same role, and have to move to find roles?
This is the lament of every Intel and Nike FTE as of late, nearly a billion lost of income in the west side so far. Maybe Texas or Kentucky has openings?
I work 40-60 hours per week. No one else knows how to do my job. Im drowning, but still terrified I'm going to be laid off. This is mental torture.
None until layoffs are through. Even if I wanted to work the teams I depend on aren't doing anything
Also ignoring the hundreds of hours of fully paid PTO and sabbaticals after 10 years
@vs At least you get paid decent right? Not like you make 85k and do all that....... Right?
how many hours of my life does nike get? 10-12 per day, actual work 6 or more with constant meetings and other bs hr stuff. add commute and they get 11-13. My family gets 1 maybe 2. short staffed since 2020, lack of skilled etw and head smackingly bad indians or atc people who cant even work a excel sheet. wtf is the point, no free time to enjoy life, no friends since im always at work, weekends are just doing chores and resting for another week of salaryman bs
case of the missing comments again, moderators be smoking out of a can again
40+… maybe 50ish on average. Being short staffed is the best..
@cf just fill up calendar with meetings and say, I'm so busy, lots of meetings!!
My entire team works 1-2 hours per week and will likely still be here after layoffs are done. I blame leadership for not recognizing where deep cuts can be made.
less than an hour a week if I take the BS out.
some weeks more than others, with layoffs looming its at a low, just meetings and maybe 5 hours a week of actual work
probably 45 hours a week, though 10 of those are multi-tasking, so on average, probably 40 true hours
Under 10 most weeks
I am working over 60 hours a week. I am involved in a few projects and working crazy hours because our EMEA team does not exist anymore, and ITC su-ks. At this moment, I am not sure if getting laid off is going to be that bad.
Definitely more time spent in meetings than I spend working. Most of my work I can do quickly (SWE), even before the AI slop era, so I sandbag a lot of my tasks. I probably do actual work 15 hours a week max.
3 hours
