Office Math

The time between December 28 (Wednesday) and January 4 (Tuesday) equals 1 week which equals 7 days.

3 of those days, I will be working 12 hours.

4 of those days, I will be working 6 hours.

(12*3) + (6*4) = 60 hours.

60 / (24*7) = about 36%.

Therefore, about 36% of my New Year's week will be spent in the office.


The average working hours for other people in my office is 40 hours during a typical work week.
40 / (24*7) = about 24%.

Therefore, on average, other people in my office are at work for about 24% of their typical week.


However, it is not a typical week. We have holiday and goal days to think about.

The average working hours for other people in my office this New Year's week is 21 hours.

21 / (24*7) = 12.5%.

Therefore, other people in my office are at work for 12.5% this New Year's week.


So, 36% > 12.5% by 23.5%.

23.5% (the difference between how much I work compared to other people) almost equals 24% (the other people's typical work week).

In conclusion, I will be at work longer than other people by a whole typical work week for them this week.

I think I'm getting screwed over.
