What time do you start and leave work?
- Thread starter NYR
- Start date
I usually leave the house at 8:10am for the bus, arrive in Sheffield city centre at about 8:40ish and get in work about 8:45. Work up to 4:50-55 then leave. I get home at about 5:10ish as I get a lift home. Not too shabby. Get flexible lunch and breaks and that too. As long as the work gets done then they're pretty lax at Sheffield Hallam.

I get in around 3AM, work until 4 or 5PM.
Basically, until the work needing to be done is finished for the day.
Currently understaffed, but hoping that gets fixed soon.

8am-4pm. I prefer starting earlier as the night seems longer with less of a feeling that your entire day was work.

I'm in hotel management.
The shifts differ and i normally try to put myself on during busy periods to help out the staff. Which can range anywhere from 6am starts to 8pm starts with 2/3am finishes. Unfortunately, i seem to be called away to meetings and over night stays at other hotels quite recently so my time at the hotel I'm running is limited.
The problem with hotels is that they never close for business, ever, so I'm on call 24 hours a day, everyday. I've had calls on Christmas day before where I've had to drop whatever I'm doing to go in.

Heh I start at 2:30pm and end at 1am with a 30 minute lunch. : I do get three 15 minute breaks on top of that tho.
Mon to Thursday. 3 day weekends!
God dammit, my schedule is a random mess. I'll work like 3 days, get a day off. Work two, get one off. Work another three get two off. Work one, get one off. Plus my manager is a month behind getting the schedule out in comparison to the other shifts, so I only know when I'm working like a week out from now. Some one kill me.

Im on a rotating shift pattern. My standard hours are 6-1:40 mon-fri one week, then 1:30-22:00 mon-thur & 1:30-5:30 fri, the following week. I sometimes do overtime outside of those hours, including the odd Saturday morning.
I do business management and a bit of development for a software company. I usually start work at 7 - 7:30, unless I work from home, in which case I start at 6:30 - 7. Work usually stops at 4 - 4:30 regardless of start time, unless I have a big project going with deadlines, in which case I go until necessary, but that has only happened a couple times in the two years I've been here).
Yikes, man. That really sucks. I had a job for about a year where I was on call 24/7 and I hated every second of it. Walking away from that office on my last day was legitimately one of the top five happiest moments of my life.

My job is just like this. But the real kicker is I work with only 4 other people (all middle-aged/old men and I'm a mid-20s girl) and still have to dress up every day and work 8-5 with an hour lunch. I don't see anyone except my coworkers, so it really sucks and is honestly really stupid.. currently pursuing other jobs.

I'm on flexitime which is good so have to do my hours every week but can choose when I do them. One of the perks of the job.
Obviously there is some times that I have to be in depending on meetings or courses etc. but in a general sense I pick my hours. Normally coming in at 6.30am and leaving at around 3... sometimes sooner depending on what I have for the day.
I love that I have these hours, though sometimes I am required to do a night shift for certain duties so will finish at 3, then head back into work at 9pm but take the hours off the next day.
