The average workday increased during the pandemic’s early weeks (2020)

I worked 40 hours before and I work 40 hours now. Can't say I have seen a change in my meetings either. I have like 2-3 a week on average.

Say you have a great boss without saying you have a great boss. :)

They understand that their findings don't apply to everyone in the world and it's implicitly understood that there will be exceptions. It can be discordant when you're the protagonist of your own reality and you see a headline that doesn't match your own experience but in the big picture it's very normal.

Can’t be that great, he has 3 meetings a week.

2-3 a week? I’m jealous. I’m just a programmer (or “IC senior software engineer” in corpo-speak) and I have 2-3 per day. Most days I only have about 3-4 hours after lunch to get any work done.

I mean with no meetings, I have 4 hours after lunch to do work. I work 8-5 and generally take 12-1 for lunch. 4 hours before and 4 hours after.
