I'm hovering around 45 hours per week on a consistent basis. Not ideal, but it could be worse.

Nothing is worse than knowing that you (and your peers) have the day off, but leadership still expects everyone to dial in for hours of meetings, have their work phones with them, or be at their computers because "work still needs to get done".
All of the big Canadian companies are still too old-school to make the leap to anything less than the traditional five-day, 40-hour work week.
