8-5 M-F

I drive an 18-wheeler. I don't live in it full-time though, my employer calls me "regional". Meaning I stay relatively close to home, rarely more than half a day's drive.

I work Monday thru Friday, exact hours each day depend on what loads I'm hauling. Unless I have an early appointment, I don't leave my house before noon on Mondays. Whatever time I get home on Friday depends on how work goes. Sometimes I'll do some Saturday driving as well, but that's almost always because I couldn't make it home Friday night for some reason. Going to my house during the week happens sometimes, though that's rare.

I'm legally limited to 11 hours of driving per day; most trucking companies see that as a target. My current employer favors a different approach: plan for 7-8 hours per day, so drivers can theoretically work as many days in a row as they want, without being forced to take a day off.

I generally push myself anyway. I'm not paid by the hour; the sooner I deliver my load, the sooner I get to go home.

I'm a 9 to 5. Sadly, tomorrow will be mentally hard. I have to explain to two managers why I can't write a kernel driver for a device in one week while I insist the request is not reasonable.

I did the math... 48% of my time is pre-scheduled meetings.

Mostly WFH with "when I'm needed" as my schedule. Very flexible, and pretty chill. In the morning I usually catch up on my inbox, check that everything is running as it should. Then a few phonecalls. I usually have another hour in the evening to catch up with coworkers in different timezones.
When I'm doing field work it's usually 10-12 hours days, weekends included.

I got promoted to this position after doing 12 hour shifts offshore, five weeks on, five weeks off, for ages.

I work from Monday to Friday, 8:30 till 4pm with a half-hour lunch break, 3 weeks in a row.
The fourth week I work from 9:30 till 5, and then I'm on call from 5 till midnight and all day during the weekend.
On average I get 1 call per week that requires 15-30 minutes of actual work (remote). I can live my life normally during on-call time as long as I stay sober, within cell phone range, and within a 1h drive to work in case of an emergency.
As compensation for doing on-call, I get a company car, about 20% more salary, and 12 additional vacation days, for a total of 42 days per year (plus unlimited sick days).

It's called something like "continental shift pattern" but I'm not totally sure.

I work 2 or 3 twelve hour day shifts. Followed by 2 or 3 night shifts. Never more than 5 shifts in a row.

Then I have 4 or 5 days off. Since I always end on a night shift I actually get off work 6 hours into my first day off at 6AM.

These are staggered in such a way that I always have two weekends fall into my days off per month.

I hate working at all but this is a schedule I "like." Fuck 9-5 for five days with only two days off. Ew.

Parttime 3 day workweek, 20 hours a week. 4 days off.

8:30-4:30 4 days a week, 9:30-5:30 once in a while. My “home” day varies.

Default 9-5 with extreme crunch time during critical launch windows and key phases of up to a week of 18 hour days. 4-6 hours sleep, sometimes in a quiet client site room under a desk with tears in my eyes. If the launch crunch lasts more than 1 week, it goes up to 3 weeks 12-16 hour days. If it lasts more than that mutiple people critically fucked up, folks are getting fired and rollback plans, corrections new launch dates are made. Sometimes lawsuits but very rare.

Edit: time off en lieu for crunch time.

2-2-3 rotation, 12 hours shifts, 3PM-3AM

So I'm on 2, off 2, on 3 (so work Monday and Tuesday, off Wednesday and Thursday, the work again Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)

Then the next week it flips, so I only work Wednesday and Thursday and I'm off the rest of the week

I think it's just about the greatest work schedule in the world, only bummer is that our PTO is based off of 8 hour shifts since most of the other employees work that and they didn't make any special exemption for us. It mostly pretty much averages out since we work less days overall, but it would be nice to have that work out exactly.

4 on, 2 off; 8 hour overnights. It's nice because Its easy to calculate what days I'll be off in 2031, if I'm still in my same position.

I burned out and can now barely look after myself let alone my property. Thus work for me is existing. Actual paid employment would literally destroy me. The medication doesn't help much.

But if you want interesting shift patterns, I was once on a rotating days and nights schedule that was a lot tighter at one end than four-on, four off. Day shifts were eight hours but staff were staggered so all hours from 8am to 6pm were covered. Nights were always 8pm to 8am. (On-call and a different team covered 6pm to 8pm.)

The worst part of it was that you could finish a day shift at 6pm and need to be in work for a night shift at 8pm the following day. 26 hours to adjust. That was all.

The best part was if your night shifts ended and the recovery time led into a weekend where there was no day shift. That made for nearly a week off, which happened about three times a year.

But absolutely none of that made up for the way it messed with my sleep schedule. I thought being a night owl would make it easy. I was wrong and it severely weakened me.

And it took several years of a different but increasingly stressful (days-only) job before I broke completely.

Working from 11 am to 5 pm Monday through saturday. I really like that I do work not a lot of hours per day, but missing that one extra day off.

Totally non scheduled, sadly.

In theory I work a flexible time schedule,realistically it's more or less 0900 to 1800, but it's very much depending on my clients. These are based worldwide, so if I am unlucky it can happen that (remote) meetings are at 2300 or later. I am on call half of the month, if major incidents happen I got to get up, but luckily these happen infrequently.

My staff works on a fully flexible schedule unless they are on call. The only fixed dates in their workweek is a jour-fixe on Wednesday and of course client meetings. Other than that I don't care when they work as long as stuff gets done. (My staff is fully remote anyways) People have lives and qualified staff is hard to get - and why should I make people unhappy by insiting on some fixed times that have no operational benefit to me?

Occasionally I add in a ambulance shift, these are 12h+overtime and usally 7-19 or 19-7.

Mo-Fr: 9-18
Every weekday unless public holidays

Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. My ADHD thrives on a normal fixed schedule. Emergency field work is always a mental exercise.

Mandatory 5 hours of OT. It kinda sucks, but it's not bad. Basically making $30/hr for 5 hours.

what's your job?

I work from 5:30 AM till 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. They sometimes give us Mondays off to avoid paying overtime (although lately they've been doing Fridays which sucks cause they don't tell us we'll have the day off til Thursday and sometimes they're fine paying overtime so Fridays are harder to schedule stuff on than Mondays). Breaks are at 8:45 AM for 15 minutes, 11:45 AM for 30 minutes, and then sometimes a 2:30 PM one for 15 minutes (this is hit and miss).

Thursday-Saturday ~8am-6pm, Sunday 8-3, Mondays as needed 11-3.

But usually M-W off.

I wait tables.

I'm on for 4 days. Off for 3 days.

For a retail schedule, that's a rarity. However, that does come with its sacrifices and some benefits. The sacrifice being, I may make less which means I have to be a lot more careful with finances. I still come out with a decent chunk at the end of the day, but, if expenses get higher and/or hours are cut or I'm somehow paid less, I may have to make sharp adjustments.

My store really does grind on those 4 days, where it feels like it's a full 5 day schedule. I am a decent worker which unfortunately, makes me the kind of worker where they're going to rely on me a lot and make me compensate a lot for the lack of a shitty worker. So, I'm going to be coming up fucking tired to do anything and sometimes even think of doing anything. Plus, I'm probably going to be pissed off for a bit so anymore human interaction I don't want.

I work 4x10s. My typical schedule is Tuesday -Friday 7-5:30 (unpaid, forced lunch). But I tend to jump my days around to take advantage of holidays and get 4 day weekends whenever possible.

I work from 5am to 11am Friday, Saturday and Sunday. What changes is which of 5 locations I work at each week. Tho I wish it was just the one location that is right across the street so I can always take my lunch at home.

Effectively Fri-Tues 0000-0730 (Though the schedule reads Thurs-Mon 11pm to 7:30AM). Grave security. Easy money, first union gig I've had, which is nice.

Work? Haha! Ha... ha. 😭

Fully work from home. I start late on Mondays and Thursdays because I have Dutch lessons in the morning. I usually work from my small home office, or sometimes sitting on my sofa or rarely at a cafe. I don't usually have meetings on Mondays or Fridays and log off at around 5:30. On Tuesday through Thursday, I often work until around 7:00 in order to have virtual meetings with coworkers in other timezones. Most days, I skip breakfast or have something light, and opt for an early lunch (sometimes that's breakfast food).

Outside of meetings, I use an automated time management tool to block off times for certain tasks so that I don't forget to do them daily. The rest of the time is deep work, hopping from project to project. My work is done in 2 week intervals, and I usually accomplish 15-20 project tasks per interval. During the day, I frequently field random notifications to myself or my team in channels on our comm tool. During deep work time, to keep my brain from falling apart, I tend to put on a comfort show or something not too engaging. A large chunk of my work is also stakeholder management, talking people away from metaphorical cliffs that will hurt the business.

I'm running at 120% at all times. My brain is mush at all times. I'm deeply burned out.

I work a 2 week rotating schedule. 6 nights on/8 night weekend. My 6 days are all in a row, Thursday - Tuesday. I work 2 - 16 hour shifts and 4 - 12 hour shifts which gives me 40 hours in 3 days and 80 hours in 6 days for my 2 week work week. I can pick up 2 16 hour shifts on my "weekend", get 32 hours of OT, and still have 6 days off. It's exhausting but I love it. When I'm really short money I've worked as many as 7 of my days off and really killed the OT. The downside is that when I work 16 hour shifts I only have time for about 3-4 hours of sleep between shifts what with commuting and showering and eating and getting ready for work and all so it can sometimes be brutal if I pick up too many back to back (I've done 3 or 4 in a row and by the end I just want to die).
