Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

I'm in a routine of doing 40 hours and I've been able to rein it in at that. There have been times when I got roped into putting in more hours, but things have calmed down. Now that I mentioned it, I may have jinxed myself and next week some crazy project will land on us.
I average about 40 hours, sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a little bit less. It usually averages out, though, and I don't necessarily feel overworked or underworked. I know some people who only work, like, 30 hours a week and I wonder how they get away with it.

I’m working 40 hours but I put in about 10-15 hours a week into side gigs. If I land a new role with better pay I rather just focus on that even if it’s longer hours.
I ran my own business for 15 years out of high school and all that time I only worked half days! Just 7 to 7. Saturday was a short day. Only 9 to 5. Then there were the conventions most Sundays.
I couldn't work more than that. I got tired.
Now that I got laid off from a job I had for 30 years (working 37.5 to 40 hours/week) I'm working zero hours and would like more.

7 to 4 M-F... so around 45h but i still take breaks so for sure is not 45h but I am never sure people ever count their actual work hours not the on-site or available hours

Forty five to fifty hours can feel manageable for a short season, but it becomes draining if it continues long term. I usually ask whether the pace is temporary or becoming the new normal.

I work 37.5 hours! Hate to say it but I think it's crazy people that work 50+...
