I'm in management in the public health system - nominally 8-4.30 (40 hrs/week) with ADO every 4 weeks. But probably more like 45 hrs/week.
My husband is engineer in private industry - his 'hours' are also nominally 8-4.30. However usually works 45-50 hrs/week. Exceptions are when there are project deadlines and he does 70-80 hrs/week, which includes weekends. This happens once a year for about 2-3 weeks. He is also on double my salary.
