I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

In an 8 hour day, I'd say probably 7 hours

The other hour probably bathroom trips, coffee/water breaks, occasional quick chats with coworkers throughout the day

I can't hit a full 8 hours actual work unless I do a 9 hour day.

Sometimes I have a shorter lunch break or try not to poop until I get home lol, so I can hit 8 hours quicker

In German it's illegal to work more than 6 hours without a break of at least 30 minutes. As an employee at least

Same here in the UK. We get an hour where I work, plus breaks.

Yes sorry I was just counting paid work time. We have half an hour lunch break but it's not included in the work hours. I assume that's normal. E.g you are physically at work 8.5 hours with 30min unpaid lunch break in the middle, so total 8 "work hours"
