There are periods where it is much higher during critical phases of a project. But I would say this is the average b/c there are many weeks where it is below 50 hours/week.
I would also say I don't work more or less than An/Con, rather about the same and it may not be visible to my team. For example, I will work harder in creating a team organization and the planning components than an actual execution b/c that is my job. To plan the work and provide direction. Now, this work can be more solo and may not be as visible to An/con/NMGR, but that doesn't mean I'm not working longer hours.
So I would say its more or less, but my peak in hours may not correlate directly to the peak hours for my team.
I think Manager have a little more flexibility to dictate their schedule for time awaay. While it may not be true in all cases, I believe the thought process would be a MGR and above knows when they need to work and when they can take time away. The An/Con levels are the proving grounds to show you can do that.
I may get blasted for that comment, and I may not necessarily believe it, but I think that is pretty much how it works in reality

So if you work 50 hours per week average, and if you put down 40 all the time, how do your Sr Mgrs/Sr Execs see that you are working your butt off..
Also, what would be difference between New Manager and Exp Manager like yourself? I mean in term of responsiblities?
I am coming as new manager, and I am glad to read that there is a little more flexibility (as long as work is getting done on time and budget) of schedule..
I agree with the points you made about your peak time vs. An/Con peak times.
