When do you finish work?
What time do you finish work? What time do you work from?
I sometimes work from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, but mostly from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, depending on what I feel like doing. At your place?

Wow, what time do you get up? At 6:30, or is your commute short?
I remember during my apprenticeship, I sometimes had to get up at 5:30 am Oh boy, I'm glad I got out of that.
So I get up at 6:15 am, leave at 7:00 am on the bus. Then I arrive at 7:25 am From 7:30 to 8:00 am there's a meeting and I pack up the car. At 8:00 am I head to the customer's office. I take a break from 12:00 to 1:00 pm At 4:00 pm I clean and unload the car. Then I say goodbye to my colleagues and boss and take the bus home at 4:35 pm Home by 5:00 pm and then relax. Dinner at 6:30 pm and bed at 10:00 pm Then I'm on my cell phone until about 11:00 pm or later. This happens over and over again, and on Fridays it motivates me to go to work. That's my day.

I think so. But that says it all.

Yes, we have a contract with a company that allows us to supply and wire their kitchen equipment. However, supplying kitchen equipment isn't standard part of the job.
LG
Do you supply kitchens as an electrician? It's crazy how little you know about other professions, haha.
Not always, but usually, the van is completely full. Sometimes we have to drive with two people. Once, we even had to use the extra-large van and three regular vans. Some customers need a lot of materials. The last large one we had to deliver was a kitchen.
Uh. Do you really have to pre-load a shop? Don't you just need tools and, depending on the job, one or two materials?
Training as an electronics technician for energy and building technology 😅 The good craftsmanship that is irreplaceable. There's a huge shortage of that.
Plumber? Looks very much like that to me haha
From 1 pm to 4 pm, either continue with the same customer or move on to the next one. Chilling on Good Question🤝
What about 1-4pm?
I usually spend about an hour on my phone in the evening. It's nice to be unproductive for an hour when the day is over. Watch videos or chill on ThriveAnswers, haha
I work a little differently every day.
Depending on when and what appointments I have in the morning, I either sleep longer or have to get up early.
When I leave depends partly on personal appointments on some weekdays, but otherwise on the work that needs to be done. This includes day-to-day business, projects, process improvements, requests from other departments, etc.
Some things have to be done on the same day or even at a specific time; others take days or weeks, for example. I have to organize my time so that everything gets finished on time.
Since I have a few extra projects I'm working on voluntary, I rarely work less than 8 hours. The exact amount, however, varies from day to day. The day before yesterday, for example, I worked just under 12 hours because I was in the middle of the topic and didn't want to stop halfway through.
It's my lunch break right now, but I think I'll probably get at least a few things done before 7 pm, maybe even 8 pm I didn't start until 9 am today, though, because I slept in.
Interesting!
I finished the most important things at 3:30 pm and am now still working at a relaxed pace, but no more stress. It took me about the same amount of time. However, I started later than you, around 11 am
Do you have to clock in/enter your time somewhere or can you come and go as you please and choose how much you work as long as your boss is happy?
Yes and no.
I track my time, but only for a maximum of 10 hours a day. The rest is also recorded for me, but not officially in the system. In consultation with my boss, I then sometimes add it back on days where I worked less or not at all. Some of the hours simply "lapse" and thus only serve as information for me, showing how long I spent on what.
Additionally, we're officially only allowed to work at certain times of the day because the company doesn't want to pay extra unless absolutely necessary. My boss doesn't care whether the task was completed between 4 pm and 5 pm or 9 pm and 10 pm, but without permission, I'm only allowed to enter the first one into the system and then adjust my daily time accordingly. Since my boss trusts us, and the flexibility is great for us, we have a few additional agreements to the official guidelines, which are also tacitly accepted by others.
I could also switch completely to trust-based working hours, but then you can't just take time off work if something happens.
I can start relatively flexibly between about 5am and 11am.
I almost always start very early and usually finish my full-time workday between 2:00 and 2:30 pm
Thanks to 100% HO, I'm already home and my free time can begin.
That's intense, 5 am Then you have to go to bed early. But okay, it's enough if you get up at 4:50. I'm also glad that I can do 90-95% of my work from home. Sometimes I drive around, but luckily I mostly work at home.
I usually work from 8 am to 1 pm If things aren't busy, I sometimes finish between 11 am and 12 pm
Relaxed! 😀
Since I only work sporadically these days, my workday is over when I close the shop. That is, between 6 and 8 pm
Wake up at 5:30 am Drive to work at 6:00 am Finish at 4:30 pm and arrive home at 6:30 pm
13 hours a day away from home
Those are long commutes!
5:30 is really extreme. It seems like a lot of people get up that early? I can't do that at all. I used to do it, too, but now that I'm self-employed, I can luckily choose.
By that route, I hope you at least earn a decent living.
4200€ gross
I am currently applying for a job in Switzerland.
Money is good right now. But I'm currently applying for a job in Switzerland.
Since you're not at home much, things will probably turn out well, right?
Quite flexible. If I have late-night appointments, I start late; if I have early morning appointments, I start early. I usually end up working eight hours a day.
A healthy amount, I would say.
If I have appointments, I have to get up early, too. I hate it when a client has agreed to meet me at 7 am before work starts, but that's just the way it is. Fortunately, it rarely happens.
I know those 7 am customers too. I brush most of them off with, "They don't want anything to do with me at that time." It works surprisingly often 😀
Unfortunately, there are always topics that can't wait until I've poured enough coffee into myself…
Haha 😀
No, customer satisfaction is my top priority. If the customer says 7:00 am, then it's 7:00 am At some point, it's already over. For example, at 6:00 am, I'll say that I have to sleep, but 7:00 am is just about okay, because I can understand having things sorted out before work starts and not having to do something again at the end of the day.
But the harbor is there
~8am to ~4pm
Sometimes more, sometimes less. Overtime is sometimes required, but it also has to be taken off.
On the days before long weekends it is therefore usually more like 8 to 12 or 13 o'clock.
Healthy!
Currently from 7 am to 4 pm But I'm starting at a new company next month. Then I'll have a three-shift system again: 6 am to 2 pm, 2 pm to 10 pm, 10 pm to 6 pm
A shift would be a disaster for me. I like to wake up as soon as I've had enough sleep and then start after a good night's sleep. Unless I have client meetings, then I might have to leave earlier. I'm glad you'll be happier next month! 😀
Either 1:30 p.m., 8:00 p.m., 9:15 p.m., or 6:30 a.m. The latter two are most likely.
Shift? I always imagine it to be very stressful. Especially when you forget that you're supposed to be working or oversleep.
Shift work is best. I would never volunteer to work office hours. You're so much more flexible with shift work.
Ah, okay. Then it's probably different for a full-time employee.
I always know six weeks in advance how I have to work and that doesn't change in between.
Well, yes. Somehow, but I'd probably often forget that I had to work because it changes so often, sometimes at short notice. Or can you decide that yourself? A friend of mine once had a summer job working shifts, and he always had to come in when he was told. That would be too stupid for me.
Since I had a part-time job, I left at 3:45 am until about 4:30 am Then my main job started from 7 am to 3 pm, with a 6-day week.
Leaving at 3:45?? Wow. I usually stay awake until 2 or 2:30. I wouldn't be able to get out of bed by then, haha.
I usually went to bed a little earlier, too. After all, I had three small children who needed to be looked after.
Not my thing haha but yeah, there's some truth to it.
Very good quote. 🤝
That doesn't happen here. None of my children received a car as a gift.
Now good night.
Oh okay. It would be awesome if you had 4k or more to give away haha
But I'm just saying: Children who, for example, receive a motorcycle as a gift at 15 usually don't achieve anything later in life because their wishes have always been granted.
I don't have that much to save each month. It's much less than that. I can't spoil them all.
Yes, but that's not the point. If everyone earns $2,000 a month, they'll be very spoiled. It doesn't matter if everyone gets the same amount, right?
Do not worry. My children all get the same amount, and my grandchildren are still too young to understand the concept of money. They won't get any of it for a few years.
Don't spoil them too much! That can really slow you down in your professional life.
It's perfectly adequate. Even my children and grandchildren get some.
Then I hope the pension is enough! 😀
That was a few years ago. I'm no longer working.
Tough men make easy times. Easy times make tough men. Of course, this applies to all genders too 😀
Well done, I hope the pension is okay when it's finally here 😀
Start: 6:30 am
End: 9-10 pm
I'm going to school, training to be a software engineer, and also running an e-commerce business.
Hard working! 6:30 is pretty crazy. Luckily, I only start then if I have client appointments. Then I go home and maybe put in another hour, haha. 15 hours is really a lot.
What is your profession?
Yes, of course, very good. But I also work pretty relaxed. Maybe 7-10 hours a day and have the weekends off. Balance is very important.
Oh no. You don't need 20k by a long shot. There are always alternatives to anything you "have" to spend money on. I'll write you a private message.
But you can make a good living from it, right?
Things could go better if you really worked 12 hours a day, including weekends. Then you'd get a lot more out of it. You're the architect of your own happiness!
That's true. That's why we didn't choose that option. Some people said you wouldn't get very far with less than $20,000 in starting capital.
My goal is to have a career like yours, too. Owning my own business that's doing well.
You have my respect. 👍
Dropshipping is very overused. You have to be really good at it to keep up.
Yes, it is intended to be a secondary income alongside the training.
After that, we want to expand further. Maybe with dropshipping or even a “real” company.
Wow, okay, at three a day, you can definitely make some money. I was doing about five hours per video, so about 20-30 hours a month, but at $200, it wasn't worth it anymore. But with three a day, I can easily imagine making 20 times that, if not more. But divided by three, that's still not enough to live off.
Thanks!
I'm doing affiliate marketing with two other people, and we produce three videos a day. We're new to this, so let's see how it goes.
But what I have learned is that quality is more important than quantity.
Ah, I did that once too. But it wasn't very worthwhile. I made a good video every week and ended up making around €200 a month, but for that time, it wasn't worth it. I earn more from trading or my business. Although I was still losing money from trading at the time.
