35-55 depending on fires. Most weeks is sub 40. I appreciate having proper staff counts to ensure I'm able to focus on the projects and planning most of the time.Director in Manufacturing, 1,001 - 5,000 employees
I typically work 42-45 with occasional 50+ but then I am strict on doing several in low 40s to recharge my batteries Our company operates on everything is #1 priority and is overdue. This drives a overtime forever mentality
I’ve watch many work 60+ hour weeks and still get laid off
Key is to really figuring out what truly is the #1 priority and getting that done
Problem is leaders above me are rarely aligned
Best guidance I can give is work the hours you need but not to the point in impacts your health or your family

Couldn't agree more, Chris. Very often we put those crazy hours on ourselves and if you reduce, no one actually will notice...I have a long personal story. Reached out the limits not long ago, and right now trying to get back to a healthy ways of working....not perfect - far from that but at least am aware now and I know what I have to do going forward. :-)
