Thanks for the contributions so far!

I want to make it clear that I’m not asking how much time anyone works. I’m asking how much time is devoted to work. As example some folks are required to be on call 7 days a week, but don’t actually have to do work devoted things for all hours in this time frame. Commuting to and from work are part of the work day. Some folks have work shifts that are 8 hours, others 12 hours, some will put in an occasional 16 hour day. Some may work only an hour a day, but still be obligated to hang out for the phone to ring, an email to arrive, or a stock to tick or….

The primary question is out of a typical week how many days are you obligated to devote to work, be it on call, doing research, or surfing the web? By extension, how many days per month?

The other side of this is how many days do you wake up knowing that you are not going to have to do any work related things? Again, by extension, do you take 2 days a week off? In a year do you take 1 week of vacation or 5 or ??? In fact, as yet another nosy question, when you take time off, how many days in a row do you typically take?
