The survey found 27 percent of tech professionals said they work five to six hours a day, and 11 percent reported only working one to two hours per day. In contrast, 30 percent said they work between seven and 10 hours per day.

The survey did not ask the workers to self-report their productivity, some people are fast and others are slow.

Although the responses within the companies surveyed were anecdotal, one Amazon employee said: "Amazon requires at least 10 hours a day, with exceptions and maybe less work on Fridays or more work on weekends. I'm working way more during COVID-19, calendar's full back-to-back, leadership is asking for more."

Meanwhile, a professional at Facebook said that if meetings counted then he worked nine or ten hours if they didn’t he worked less than one. This seems to indicate that the pandemic has not impacted everyone equally.
