Idle curiosity, how many hours did you work. Where work is number of hours claimed to boss, timekeeping software etc.

A bit over 10 yesterday. Hopefully 6 today. Boss never asks about my time but I average probably 8.5-9 hours in office a day, so around 42-45 weekly.

After many years of remote working and being mostly "always on", I have recently started a somewhat strict 9 - 3 working day. No weekends.

Definetely more productive now, but maybe is due to greater focus and discipline on my part.

I polled HN a while back : https://imgur.com/qdSltlM

Looks like a perfect normal distribution around 4-8 hours a day, not affected by seniority.
