And look how you’re spending your retirement.

Also...I feel like he has been "recently retired" for a decade. Got to commit to the details better.

Also also...I am way jelly of all you "work from home" people. I have never been able to accomplish that and I feel it may be one of my few true failures in life.

I work from home, and I also work a shitload of hours a week, often including significant time over weekends. My normal day is comprised of two modes - actually getting shit done, and talking to people (both internally and externally). When I'm in "get shit done mode", I turn off all distractions (email, phone, etc) throw on headphones, set a timer for an hour, and 100% concentrate on the most important shit that needs to get done. Once that timer is up, I take a short break, and those are the gaps I post here in. Repeat. Or, if I'm on a call where I'm an inactive participant I'll mess around here, on Reddit, etc.

All that said, the most important thing for my employer is that I get shit done and produce results. They don't care where or when I do it, although my normal work week is 60+ hrs...but that's mostly self imposed.

Tldr imagine being a responsible adult that can manage their own time, some of which might include posting here.

I thot u owned ur own company?

Depends on the day. Probably about an hour at work each day if I had to average it. Some days I'm to busy to shit post, other days I can get in a solid 3 hours.

Just curious. I know before I retired I would stay logged on most of the day since I worked from home. But I am curious how many productive work hours are lost because of fucking around on CCS.

And yes.......this includes work from home because your company is still paying you.

Very little, if any at all. If I had a desk job, I'd probably be on most of the day.

Zero.

I post on my own time, not someone else's.

I check CCS when I'm on the crapper at work. Then I check it usually when I get home from a late shift. I'm a 3:00AM thankbanger. I always have a window open on my phone so it probably shows that I'm on CCS 24/7 lol.

Depends on the day. Sometimes not at all, other days hours. Work comes in waves and certain times of the year are slammed vs other times.

I am salaried and I complete all the work I do in the time frame assigned. During my busiest times I post less, during my slowest times I post more. The only thing that is consistent is my work gets done. So my employer loses 0 hours from my posting habit on CCS.

I probably check/browse/post on CCS while "on the clock" about 30 mins to an hour each working day.

I don't understand the 'tone' of the question tho... are you looking down on people who post on an internet forum while they are working? If so, why? I do more than enough for my employer, and perform much higher than my paygrade. My employer knows i **** around occasionally, and doesn't give 2 shits, so why would any of you? Just creepy, really..

TBD thinks I'm a slacker, that's why. Make a few posts at 10 in the morning, one mid afternoon, and a few at 9 at night, and you've been on CCS ALL DAY, 20 hours.

I have been retired for 2 years. Unlike you, I'm not beholding to anyone.

So, go to your little 9-5 cubicle life. Beg for those 3% raises and hope you have enough money to support your family while not getting fired for fucking around on the internet all day
Go easy

Absolutely not. If I was I would have to look down at myself. I was just truly curious since I know how much time I spent here when i was still working. Not everything has a nefarious intent.

And yes....I should have given an option of 0 on the poll as well.
