I Worked 100 Hours in 7 Days...Here's how it went

[@arcticwanderer2109]

During my cab driving days, I used to work religiously from 5:00am to 7:00pm, that is 14 hours, seven days a week. I made sure I get my 7 hours or sleep and an hour for gym 4 times a week. My only days off used to be during holidays or when there was a bad snowstorm. Did that for a whole year and reached my financial goal of that time.

I find more than 45 hours per week insane, how do you live? If you are doing great could you give some advise ?

[@879PC]

Is that 100 hours all at your actual job or is it including things like chores and cooking? Because in one week there's 168 and ideally 56 of those hours need to be spent asleep meaning just 12 extra hours to do laundry, cooking, showering, brushing your teeth, etc. assuming the 100 is "at work" time

[@zPrideful]

Yeah my job has a peak season where we work 80-90 hours 7 days a week for about a month or so. It's not fun being gone 12-14 hours every day but you do what you gotta do right. By the way I'm a sales rep but my job is a lot of physical labour too.

[@groeiendekaas9416]

@@ultraboy99x nah it was actually awfull. I lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere for 5 months (closed shop/town was 80km away). On that farm I had to live with the most horrible person I ever met, who would just yell at people 24/7. He would not give me lunchtime (12-16 hour work days, without lunch), always asked me to work on saturdays and just treat me like absolute shit in general. After I left he got fired for sexual intimidation of a co-worker and on the computer it came to the light that there where videos of female co-workers being filmed in the shower. Those 5 months where absolute utter garbage. Moving on to the fun stuff and that is what im doing right now. I am currently still in school and have to graduate at a company (i am doing a project for them). When I finish school I want to apply for farmers work in the cannabis sector. I am looking for a job in the trance of growing manager. Taking care of the irrigation, fertilizer and crop protection products for cannabis plants. The only thing I learned on that farm is that no matter the circumstances, life will get better at some point. One day out of that farm I had one of the best nights off my life (I say one day, but it was in 5 minutes after i fully left the farm and checked in, in the hotel). It wasnt that I couldnt handle the work stress, or even the person I was talking about, its just that it was a complete waste of my life.

[@marley7659]

Also to anyone watching this, long term your body will break down from this work load. Its absolutely true. You will get sick. Even medical professionals are limited at 80 hour work weeks. Even that can be bad for doctors. Unless you have someone to cook all your meals and do household tasks for you. You may also have issues with weight loss and or nutritional deficiencies as well as physical strain injuries.

I’m tired of googling “long hours of work” or whatever and every single thing that pops up is office people. People who have to sit down in ac all day long at a computer. I haven’t seen one article about a person doing physical labor for 60+ hours a week. Makes me mad cause all I do are physical labor jobs and I can’t relate to any article. With tips like “stand up and stretch ever 30 minutes “ I’ve been standing for the past 8 hours lifting logs into a chipper... or “go outside for fresh air” hello, I’ve been 50ft up in a tree all morning, I don’t need fresh air.

I'm not undermining physical work but unless you've worked really long hours in an office job you wouldn't understand. Sitting 12-14 hours a day in front of a computer with pressure from your boss and tight deadlines ain't as easy as you think, probably even more stressful cos you barely move your body and sit at one spot for so long.

[@montanawhite5699]

@@lettuce1305 I totally understand that an office job can be stressful, in some cases probably more stressful, especially if you have to deal with clients or people on the phone. I was just tired of every single news article, or video, or whatever saying “how to feel better at work” or “how to make the day go by faster at work” or whatever. And EVERY single article is about office jobs. They say “stand up and stretch” or “go outside for a minute for fresh air” or “walk around the office” and I’m thinking what about the rest of the world, who is outside in the hot son carrying heavy crap from one spot to another, we are already outside, walking, doing everything they suggest. I’m not trying to say an office job is easy, I’m just tired of everything you google about jobs only being about office jobs.

Once you start working more than 55-60 hours your productivity flatlines, and you may work more hours, but you’re not getting any more done

[@ericdaniel323]

Most people who think they work 60+ hours don't really work much more than 40-45 anyway. The more time they spend at the office, the more time they waste. I see it in my office all the time from young hard-chargers staying until 10 every night. Since they come in at 9 am, they multiply 13 hours times 5 days and get 65 hours. But they don't subtract the hour they take for lunch and dinner and a few trips to the gym each week. If they had to punch a clock, they would probably come in around 50.

My first job started at 5am and the second one ended at 9 or 10pm. I was so cranky and pissed all the time.

Yeah I had to do this one summer because I didn't have enough money to pay for my upcoming college tuition. Difference was that my job was physical, while yours are mental.

So easy to get distracted by literally nothing. But if it's physical work, you just keep pressing on, which is what I did that one summer.
