Breakdown of your office hours🕰️

When working in a Software Developer Position, consider 8hrs to be the average hours you work at your company. ▶️how many hours do you actually get to slack off ? #-------Context------ At my current company i usually am occupied for more than 8 hours and i cannot do something like "reading a Blog to enhance my skillset, watch interview prep videos, learn something new or explore another zone of development like a new stack or something". After my working hours i give time to my pet dog, family and a little bit to myself. Is it the same for you or is my service based company sucking the blood out of me?

Skilling up is your survival. From now, you have more than 6 hours of work and 2 hours of skilling up.
