How many work hours can you cope with?
Hello Hello! Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be the upper limit of hours you can work per week in your role? In light of you having hypothyroidism? And before experiencing fatigue / exhaustion.
Standard work contracts in the UK are 37.5 - 40 hours. Curious as to what works for you? And if hybrid working makes it possible/ feasible for you to do your job.
For context, in my role we are being expected to work 50 hours per week (minimum), 5 days in the office.
I’m not sure if others with Hypothyroidism successfully manage such hours? Is fatigue expected with these hours? The general mantra is with medication, our day to day lives should be unimpacted.
Generally curious on your experience and if there is a tipping point for you.
