I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

Ugh this thread makes me upset. I have a contract for 18 hrs per week and you bet your ass I'm really working 99% of the time that I'm clocked in. And then people ask me why I don't work more hours, but looking at these comments it seems I'm actually right on par with other people who get paid for 30-40 hours per week, when it comes to productive time spent.

    That’s the upside of the stable salaried job versus the potentially more lucrative contracting/consulting. I don’t get paid extra for staying late or traveling, but I also don’t get paid less if I do almost nothing on a given day. And in a laid back company, nobody notices or cares as long as it isn’t negatively affecting projects.
