Maybe I won't need that hip replacement after all.

I don't pun. I don't think my brain works that way.

Interesting question for the group: is your company paying you to work for 8 hours, or is your company paying you to do your job/complete tasks? If the former then this is an easy discussion. If the latter then they are imposing an artificial time constraint on "work" that probably doesn't work well for either the business or employees. My job is definitely the latter. I am 100% remote and when I am home I probably do about 6-8 hours of work a week. When I travel I do between 50-70 hours of work. I complete tasks on weekends, vacations and holidays. But I can also go on a family trip and not take time off. I have literally taken calls about sick babies in the Smithsonian and Disney World. But I could take those trips without taking vacation days because of the flexible work schedule.
BiL Wayne will be coming home from the hospital under Hospice care today. Yes, he did this once before this year but we don't anticipate another amazing recovery like he had before. We were lucky to have some really good months. We will enjoy what time we have left.
His comment in the ER on Friday was "the ER, another step on the stairway to heaven".
Let's see, subtract time wasted posting on DBR . . . two hours! NO, just kidding! I probably put in at least 6.5 solid work hours on an average day. More in recent weeks with a big deadline (met early last week, thank you very much!). I have too much to do to screw around too much.
I earn my tax-funded salary!
Highly dependent on the boss, IMO. I’m salaried, private company. Past employers were F100 and a Federal government contractor.
I have never had a corporate manager question hours worked so long as results have been there —- and they always have been. Had occasional 50+ hour work week but usually comfortably between 20 and 30 hours of actual work a week.
Got dinged at contractor job for not being visible during the hours client was there even though the actual work was highly boom bust with at times NOTHING happening.
