Anywhere from a couple hours to like 12 depending on how well the processes go on a brew day.

Chewbecca posted:Question for all: how many hours of actual work do you do as part of one full working day (or shift)? it really depends, I'm a major incident manager doing 12 hour 4 on 4 off shifts and I can go sometimes an entire block without doing anything meaningful. However when serious poo poo is going wrong I'll be doing stuff for almost the entire 12 hour shift. but the busy days are far far less than the days where gently caress all happens and like poster above night shifts are almost always 0 hours worked. whats interesting is that my role is entirely financed by the customers who have bought major incident as a service, so even if I'm not actually doing anything meaningful it still costs the company nothing!

3+ I'm IT support, so if people don't have issues, then I don't have much to do. Today has been mostly wiping old computers/tablets to give to kids for school work, and a couple small issues that have popped up.

On a bad day, the only time I'm guaranteed to be able to sit is my meal break and I'm going to be rushing everything.

Escape From Noise posted:Oof. Yeah. I'm really glad I saw that coming. I'm pretty sure these guys were regularly working 18 hour days or something. There was nobody on staff with professional brewing experience and the owner was just asking the impossible from everyone. I worked at a microbrewery for awhile after college. I was a lowly bottling line worker so I got away with 40 hour weeks plus a reasonable amount of over time, but our two master brewers were working something like 80 hour weeks as a baseline. I think at least one eventually quit and opened an Indian restaurant.

I’m working every second of the day I’m not on break or lunch. 8.5 hour day with 30 for lunch and 25 for breaks means 7.5 hours, not counting when I answer the phone during break/lunch. It’s still not enough to do everything I need to, but we survive at least. Part of the problem is that I only work 4 days due to mental health issues, and they stopped opening up on Saturday when I used to be able to squeeze an extra four hours in. So stuff is miles behind in terms of backorders and warranty and send outs, but the daily stuff gets done most of the time. I gotta squeeze everything I can into the time I have, so I can’t really just stop and fiddle around on the internet for a while or anything.

The funny thing with this place after I left is the owner hired nobody with professional brewing experience so it was the blind leading the blind (no offense to any of them) while the owner made insane demands. There were I think 5 people for a 2k liter brewery. Just no concept of effective scheduling.

Chewbecca posted:Question for all: how many hours of actual work do you do as part of one full working day (or shift)? 0-2 My boss has made it clear that he doesn't want me to participate in any new designs and does not value my feedback at all. So I've been doing as little as I can get away with. My current task is to create a design specification document for a new component. But instead of using that for RFI/RFQs, my boss has already selected the component from a new vendor and approved their drawing. So I'm just copying all the information from the drawing. Are we going to create a validation plan? Test the component to see if it meets our requirements? Nah. We don't even have requirements. We'll just ask the vendor for their testing. So my spec doc is going to include all the tests that the vendor performed to demonstrate that their component meets their own specifications. This place rules.

Chewbecca posted:Question for all: how many hours of actual work do you do as part of one full working day (or shift)? Usually I'll be busy at least 6-7 hours out of 8. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Usually it's low impact desk/design work, but sometimes it gets more physical when I need to get into the clean room or sub fab space.

I have a 7 hour workday, so 0-7 hours. I save all my data entry work for the one day a week I'm in the office so I look like I'm busy all the time. On days I'm not in the office I typically have ~2 hours of work per day. I also kick things into overdrive during our busy season, and do maybe 3 times as much as the other near-retirement age members of my team, so I look like a vigorous young go-getter in comparison.

On paper I need to work 8 hours per day, but I haven't been logged in the mornings for the better part of a year or so, and on the remaining 6 hours, I maybe get like 4 hours of actual-non-meeting work if there's enough, but most days i work like 2 hours tops.

Dang that sucks. I'm not micromanaged at all. I'm unmanaged. The only thing close to micromanaging I get is my boss keeps asking "When's the spec doc going to be done? It's very important that we get it done so we can move on to the next phase of the project!" And I just answer "It's going to be a while." I actually have to get it together by Friday because that's when the first review is. My boss would know this if he didn't duck out of the project meeting early while we were scheduling the review.

Ever since I started I've had about 1hr15m of mandatory meetings every morning. That's mostly listening, I contribute probably once a week. Then I average about another hour of meetings every day, half of them I run half I just listen to. Outside of that, some weeks I have literally nothing to do. I can create some bullshit reports or write up some nonsense to look busy during the 2 days I'm in the office, and the rest of the time I just play games on my PC and watch YouTube. Some weeks I do have a decent amount of work going on but as much as possible I just squeeze that into those two days even if it means doing a longer day. I have spoken to my boss before about this - he's perfectly happy with my contribution, I get good reviews, and the higher ups seem to like me (or at least not care). What's weird is I have equivalents on other teams and they look constantly snowed under. I have no idea why. I think I'm just lucky the people I "manage" (it's not even really management) and pretty much all competent and get on with their work without me interfering. I've considered moving but 1) I've past two years here so they can't just get rid of me (not that that's likely), and 2) I think I'd struggle to find somewhere that'd pay me enough to justify actually doing a full 5 days a week. And hell, it beats the hell out of the stress from my last place. Maybe if I get bored in a few years.

My current manager does not acknowledge those abilities and initiative that I have still occasionally demonstrated under him, instead preferring to overload one particular individual as a load bearing silo. When I do speak up to offer advice from an experience of years roughly double or triple anyone else in our department in our specific domain, I'm ignored. Not asked to re-explain or politely patted on the head and told I'm wrong/that's not a priority/simply "no"/etc. I'm just ignored. In email and in meetings. I exist to this manager to just be a cog. For awhile, it infuriated me but eventually I eventually reached that state of nirvana of not giving a poo poo.

Some days I log in and say hello and then do basically nothing except type a quick “this is what’s happening right now everything’s ok” message every couple of hours until it’s time to log off again for a grand total of like 30 minutes work across the day, and other days I’m white knuckling it through hell for the full 8 hours or more depending on just how much poo poo hit the fan and at what speed. Luckily my bosses know that’s how it works so if it’s quiet they don’t ride our asses at all as long as we’ve not got any urgent side-project stuff in the pipe we should be working on.

MrQwerty posted:postmortem but between 8.5 and 12.8, clocked, at the place before the last I worked at and exactly 8 hours at the last place I worked at Yeah, the only reason it's exactly 6.5 (or 7, if it's a 7.5 hour shift) is because that time gets deducted automatically for my unpaid meal break anyway and the place automatically charges anyone who's classed as food and beverage for their meal break as soon as you clock in with no sanity check for if the shift is long enough for a meal break. So, uh, gently caress anyone who tries to make me do poo poo on my meal break barring an emergency (in which case I am going to hit a mental pause on my break and go right back to it after), they can talk to my union rep about it. Domus posted:I’m working every second of the day I’m not on break or lunch. Basically the same. A really good day, I've got time to sit down and take my two paid 15 minute breaks. Most days, I'm just managing to stay on top of poo poo and handling whatever wrenches have been tossed into the gears today. (Today's wrenches: we're just about out of floor cleaning solution, and then two tables of guests decided they wanted to hang out instead of eat their lunch and stayed way, way past closing.)

Not technically my work, but the office complex we used to be in was having weekly raffles for a while last summer to try and get people to come back to work so all their tenants could justify paying them rent. It was all through their 'community app' and I had to open it up and fill out a survey every day for each entry. I actually won a few of them, mostly they were little travel packs of cheap crap but one was a 500$ credit with AirBNB that I'll probably never use.
