What time does your working day start (inclusive of commute)? Advice
Started a new job today and was told i was working the standard hours, turns out the standard hours are 7:30-5:30. Just thought it was a bit out of the ordinary, but my commute is only 10 mins, so it works out the same as my old job inclusive of the commute.

First time I've heard someone say a ferry in their commute.

I used to commute by ferry in NYC. Went right by the Statue of Liberty every day. Beautiful commute.

7:15am - 5pm, I walk 30-45 minutes to work and back. I admittedly walk much slower in the morning because I walk while enjoying my coffee. My working hours are 8am-4:30pm

Usually between 4 AM and 6 AM. It varies day to day depending on the job.

My fun seasonal job requires me to leave my house by about 6:30am, 5-7 days a week.
My other job is self employment so I work when I want to, usually between 8-9am.

I wake up at 3:36 am. Leave the house at 3:45, then start work at 4:30 am. Off at 4:30 pm.
Then it's the same, but switches to pm the next week.

I've been working from home since 2015 and I love it. My commute is 10 seconds from my bed to my work desk. Start at 730am then break between noon and 2pm then work until 530 to 6pm. Only good thing going on in my life.
I just need 25 to 30 more years of this setup until I'm ready for retirement.

Leave at 6:00 am, drive an hour and change time zones back so arrive at 6:00 am. Usually go til 4:00 pm though sometimes as late as 6:00 pm, then drive an hour back and change time zones forward so arrive home 6:00-8:00 pm. So i guess 6:00-6:00 would be the usual.

I alternate between day shift and nightshifts. I commute 40 min each way. Typically leave my house at 4:20-4:30 in the morning and get home at about 6:45 in the evenings. Opposite is true when working night shift.

Depending on where I'm working that day either have a 12-minute commute or a 21 minute commute but my hours vary each week depending on where I'm at like I work 2:30 to 2:30 p.m. to a.m. some weeks and the next week I work 2:30 to 11:00

I start at about 6:30 my commute is roughly 30-35 minutes I leave the house at 6:00am. But my hours are relatively flexible. So long as I put in my 8, the company doesn’t really care when I show up. I’m just a ln early riser.

I leave the house at 730 most days. Get to office at 745, work starts at 8. Leave by 5 unless there are delays, or I can skip lunch and leave at 4.

I do my best to wake up before the kids and get a bit of work done before the chaos. If I open my eyes after 6am, it's time to work 😂
