There's a perception that we work less than those in the US. How many hours a week do you guys work?

Also. Don’t fall into the trap of “hours worked = productivity”. I think greater job security here means that you don’t get as many people just hanging around in the office to look good.

Heavily depends on the project, but last year was chill so 45-50 was an average I think.

Yeah I just wonder if UK salaries are worth the long hours

....I work 40 hours most of the time (contracting) but when I was at an agency, there were times I stayed in the office till 5am and returned at 9am🤷🏽‍♀️ depends on the project.

Easy week 9-7
Normal week 9-9.30
Hard week later than 12 finish

So same hours as my US colleagues. As a senior manager I’ll manage a UK team 9-6 and a US team 6-12 which is knackering.

Very project dependent like everyone else. And we work flexi time. So Tuesday was 8am-10pm, today I’m aiming for 10.30am- 6pm
Average is about 40-50 hrs, max is in the high 70s.

My parent is sick with dementia. I can tolerate high level of stress when I'm called names, sent to h... etc.. but I keep everything inside. It's been that way for a long while now. Today my cup of tolerance has overflown when I was giving my parent a bath. I was so angry that I was shaken and I forced my parent to bath... I yelled and said things I would never say otherwise. I know I'm wrong and it's a disease, but I just couldn't help it... now.. the work time comes... I couldn't concentrate... tears just flowing from my eyes. Which I totally deserve. I'm glad I was working from home today. It got to the point that I just don't want to see that anymore... I just don't want to wake up. I just want to escape of my thoughts and my feelings...

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
