Poop How much "legitimate" work do you get done in a day? - Page 4

MMXcalibur · 10-28-2009, 11:03 AM

I'm not talking about sitting there with an Excel spreadsheet open staring off into space or bullshitting with co-workers during a "meeting". I mean honest productive work.

a lot, I have no choice, based on it's nature.

It depends on what you spread on the sheet.

My work productivity depends on the project. I just finished a project where I would do 2 sites a day that took an hour and a half each. But there was about 5 hours drive time between sites. Project before that, I would do 2-3 sites a day that took 4-6 hours each with usually under an hour drive time between sites. Last year, I was working a project where I worked about 4 hours a day. Then of course, there is the downtime between projects where productivity is nillbecause I am on unemployment.

i'd be happier and more productive and efficient, i think...

I was just reading that the Utah state government, after going to a 4 day work week, realized an unexpected benefit in reduced overtime pay. Apparently employees, not wanting to work late after a 10 hour day, found they were able to get all their work done in a 40 hour week. They didn't save what they thought they would on energy costs but made out real well on overtime costs.

Its AMAZING what you can get done when you wanna get the hell outta there.

I'm in sales, so it varies. On some days I might be busy and productive from bell to bell, on others I might spend a lot of time reading CP. Today, for instance, I was non-stop from 8 until 3 and wrote a couple of nice orders. But for the next couple of hours I'll just be doing some paperwork, maybe make a couple of phone calls.....nothing profitable.

I know, isn't that funny? The same guy who had to put in an hour OT every day when he got off at five all of a sudden is more productive when has to work until seven.

I would say 12 hours of legitimate work. As a power plant operator my job is to baby sit the plant and make sure all goes well. At the end of the 12 hour shift I have done my job regardless of what I have done. Even if I surfed the planet for an hour or so.

Chiefaholic · 10-28-2009, 05:08 PM

I'm a welder 50-60 hours per week. I'de guess that I bullshit less than 1 hour a week.

Yeah thats me a bored day at work is a great day. The boss and the company loves when I have a boring day at work.

**chefsos** · 10-28-2009, 05:20 PM

I'd like to say 8 out of 8 hours. But I'm probably productive about five or six of those. Not due to ****ing off, but because I'm pretty slow at it relative to the other guys at the RV dealership where I work.

I have a tendency to go back and double- or triple-check items I've done to prep a unit for delivery instead of just getting it done and moving to the next one.

**Bugeater** · 10-28-2009, 06:42 PM

I'm an independent contractor, so I **** off a lot. But when I am working, I'm busting my friggin' ass.

**Buck** · 10-28-2009, 06:47 PM

On average I push out 10 jobs a day, which generates the company usually between $5000 and $7500 a day.

If it weren't for CP that number would be even higher.
