Most hours you've worked in a week?


Recommended Posts

Posted

76 hours is the most but there have been plenty of 60-70 hour weeks when I'm on call in the winter. I do Hvac mostly gas+oil heating the 76 hour week was just busy and Id get home and have to go right back out because of no heat calls. But damn some of you guys working over 100 hour a week, thats rough. Much respect to that. I thought my job was pretty demanding. On call pay is the shit though especially on those lucky days when there are no service calls and I get 3 hours of on call pay for sitting near my phone.

my overtime rate is grin inducing. i dont mind too much

I drive a big truck for a oil field company and 90hr weeks are common, when the market is good. I don't have days off unless something breaks, or a job cancels. I'm on call 24/7, and I have to work holidays also.

During the Detroit Autoshow we used to provide fiber transport out of the hall to all of the TV stations and cable shows. On an average day during that week I would work 4am-10:00pm sleep for a couple hours and then be back at work. Basically for that week I would have about 42 hours off or 35 hours to sleep. Worked 126 hours for a week.

The best part though was that it started before Christmas so not only did I get OT I also got double and triple time on many of those days because they were company holidays. The paychecks for those 10-14 days would basically be a couple+ months regular pay. It was nuts.

Ive actually worked 168 hours in 1 week.

I was building a car and didnt sleep for a week and worked on it straight through.

Ive also stayed awake for a 1 week period just for fun once.

I am not kidding.

No wonder you're a crazy mofo! Generally the neuroconnections begin to deteriorate after 72 hours :lol:

lol, after the 3rd night awake, I would have dreams almost every time I blinked. Some dreams seamed like they lasted hours, but it was actually less than 1 second.

My brother described the same thing when he went through hell week for Marine Training.
