Typical day:

Arrive 7:30 AM, work through lunch, leave 5:30 PM. so I typically work 50 hours a week. Sometimes an hour or two over that.

Absolutely, work 6-7 days a week even when everybody else is at 40hrs. I spend at least 10 hours at work without anybody else there. I love to work on a Saturday by myself. It's quiet and I complete more jobs than usual.

I work 7 days on / 7 off
84 hours one week then off 7 days.
I'm staring at the clock til 5 when working, then borderline unreachable on days off.

I enjoy getting shite done but I'm not dedicating my life to work.

I work the absolute minimum, never volunteer for OT, and don't stay a second longer than I'm required to be there. I'd rather enjoy my life with my wife & kids. I've been offered promotions with more hours and time away from my family, and have politely declined each time.

You die at the end, so I choose to enjoy the time I've got in this life.

I work very hard until it's time to go. Then I'm out, leave everything at work. I'm staunchly against giving away free work.

You have to balance work, family and health. If you ignore any one of them too long, you will pay a high price at the expense of the others.

1. Your health
2. Family
3. Work

I'm to the point that my employees are knowledgeable enough that I only have to give occasional direction and instruction. I spend more time networking and brainstorming than I do doing any real work. Maybe 25-35 hours a week.

I work nights and work in the office of a warehouse that warehouses Hershey candy. We get slow at points in the year where we have to stretch to have work for 40 hours. But coming up here in the next month we will start the holiday push and people will be able to get anywhere from 40-72 hours in a week. When that time comes I'll snag around 60 a week. Not due to me being a workaholic but because being in the office on nights I have a pretty easy job to snag the extra 20 hour of OT a week.

I am at the office or field over 70 hours a week, and never really off work in the summer. Winters, I might work 4-5 hours a day.

Kind of a weird situation for me. I'm one lazy frick by nature. However, I own a small business and don't mind the tons of hours I put in to it.

Hell no! I hate getting up every morning and going to work. I only do it cause I have to. Soon as I'm able to retire I will.
