How many hours a day do you ACTUALLY work?

This is really messing with me…I spent my whole life making just above minimum wage, working in service and retail and I was always drained at the end of the day. Recently I got my first “office job” and it's fully remote which I love because I get super distracted by office environments. What's really screwing with my head is that I get paid really well, a bigger salary than most of my friends and I work like maximum 3-4 hours a day. IS THIS NORMAL?! I ask not just to try to figure out if I'm alone here (I can hardly ask my coworkers “hey do you also have a ton of free time all day?!” But also because I'm afraid I stumbled onto a goldmine here and that if I ever want to change jobs I'll be back to working 8 hours in a different corporate job. TLDR;…

TLDR; 1. How many hours a day do you actually work and what's your job (white collar? Blue collar? Remote? In person?)

  1. And how common is it in remote jobs to work barely half the day?

  2. How do you find out while applying for jobs if it's going to turn out to be a solid 8 hours kinda job or a 3 hours and coast kinda job?

Thanks y'all! (Still starstruck at making a salary)
