It depends whether you count our students as people who work... :)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Probably. But feel free to answer the second part of the poll appropriately ;-)

Out of interest, (roughly) how many are there?

If you assume Ina and I do any work at all, being retired an' all.

I've worked in buildings with 50-70, up to buildings with a thousand people.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that.

It does depend whether you mean the number of people who are all working at one time or not. Weekdays there aren't as many people as at weekends, and you need to add up weekday, Saturday and Sunday staff, as most of them are separate people.

Whereas my office is very much a 9 - 5 (or more like 8 - 6) operation, with only very limited numbers there at weekends etc.

I answered for my JOLF office, not my Clare Associates workplace, which would have been 0-5.

That's a guess, as the organisation that employers me occupies only half the ground floor of a three-storey building. I have no idea what goes on in the other two-and-a-half. Given that twenty-two people have their desks in my office, though, I think it's reasonable to assume that the building as a whole houses more than a hundred, but not much more.

The figure for the museum is higher than it would normally be because we have all the offices and a lot of the curatorial staff for other museums in our building (cuz it's a warehouse!)

[davidcook.livejournal.com]

It's an estimate, but it's a 44-floor building, and there are around 100 people on my floor, so it seems fair to assume at least an average of 50 per floor and call it 2000 or so in total.

[miss-t-ide.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can answer the first part, as I am not currently in employment...

[jane-somebody.livejournal.com]

No, but you jolly well work hard nonetheless! (belated comment from another SAHM!)

Greek Urn

...of course nowadays all workers in Greece would be paid in euros :-p

For the classical period, which is after all what is summoned up mentally by the image of the Greek Urn, 15 dr. an hour doesn't make sense either, not least because 'hourly rate' is a pretty modern concept. About one drachma a day is more in the right ballpark :-)
