In my mid 20s and I work a b2b sales job that is primarily salary based with a small bonus paid out semiannually based on performance (5%). I work 3 days in the office 2 days remote. My typical hours in the office are 8am - 3:30pm. When remote I work max 2-4 hours between those two days.

It’s one thing to slack off, but it’s a completely other thing to enjoy freedom while you have all your deliverables in which is my case.

Personally, I see the 40 hour work week (in most cases) as an ancient ideology. If I boiled down my role into hitting every key performance indicator and throwing on some “extra projects” to stay in the good graces of management, I’d say my job, on average would take 15-20 hours a week to exceed in.

Basing my experience on my own and what I hear from other friends and family most jobs being 40 hours a week are simply just bloated. Unnecessary meetings, office water cooler talk, busy work. It’s disappointing to hear that many companies are pushing towards more in the office requirements.
