Working 60+ hours/week (srs)

[Iluveketchup178]

Right now I'm working exactly 55hours a week. Technically, that mean from Monday to Friday I work from 7am to 7pm and I got a 1 hour break lunch during the day. It's an office job.

Basically I do nothing but to work during the week. When I come back home I don't have the time nor the energy to do anything else but to eat and maybe surf the web for an hour.

And think it's sucks big time. So I can't even imagine how it's must sucks to work even more. Many miscer claim to work 70-80 hours a week (yet they still have the time to misc a ****load). Is that real life?

For example, if you work for a big four it is expected that you work 70 hours a week minimum. But unless you work also during the weekend I don't see how you can even do that. That's 15 hours more per week than what I do, so that mean an extra of 3hours of work per day.
So then my schedule would be something like-->
Monday to Friday:
*7am to 12= work
*1pm to 10pm=work
*repeat
Wtf??



If you work that much, can you tell us how do you handle it? Is it even possible to have a real family life if you work that much?

I can tell you from experience it is hard to maintain a Life.

I am actually at work at this moment crunching hard on to meet The Deadline next monday.

My outlook is 15 hour workdays non-stop until the beginning of October when all projects are done.

Now the big difference is that I work for myself so all hours I put in I get a result back directly.

Sometimes I call a friend when I am lonely and we talk for hours, usually that is my only contact for months. Training is very difficult to maintain so I got some equipment at work. Relations fail because you only see your Girls only on weekends.

It sucks but it has a plus side, I see all my hard work paying off. If I were to work sick hours for a boss I would excpect big money in return or else no go man. Do not ever work harder than good for your life for a boss, you are going to get seriously disappointed in your carreer by doing that. Work for yourself, not for the wealth of others.

Biggest danger is getting used to having no life and working too hard. Life will go by way to fast if that happens. Looking outside of the window feels like looking at a timelapse of the seasons passing by. OMG it is summer already! No time. OMG it is winter already! No time.

Welcome to the working world. I know one guy who did 90hr weeks for years (srs). He would eat fast food, drink pop and now looks at LEAST 10 years older. He will wake up at 3am and start sending emails and working.

Doing what?

[MmaBrah]

I work about 60-70 hours a week. Only got gf no kids etc. See parents once a week or fortnight. Gym 2-3 times a week whenever I can. Before work, after work, weekend etc. About to go back to bjj 3 times a week too, Have done it for 2 years. Not ideal but will cut back to 40 in a few months.

I'm just not lazy and pack lunches everynight.

I work 9-8pm Mon-Sat and 10-5 on Sunday.

I work seven days a week.

[Big Natural]

I once did 138 hours in one week crunching hard.

We made the deadline but it was the most painful thing ever. The week before I did a 110 hour week so it was hell.

I actually spend 16 hours sleeping that week. Afterwards you are so dead you are depressed and sick for 2 weeks.

What's your job? Damned I remember when you were posting ur pics years ago. Are you still big as you were?

[R.Mutt]

there was a time when i was averaging 85 hours a week, one week i hit over 100 hours, for over a month. But it was manual labor. The pay was awesome, the social life was non existent.

However me and my boss would go to the strip club every once in a while to chill and drink and have a few dance.
One time my boss and I were working till 1 or 2 am, we both had been there since 7 am, so he left to go to home depot and when he came back he had a 6 pack of bud. We finished up our work and then downed a few beers before going home. Good times.

I can't see sitting in an office for 80 hours a week. I think I would go crazy.

[Fennesz]

I think you should re-evaluate your life, man.

You are made of vibrating strings, floating on a blue rock in the depths of the universe. Always remember that.

How does it feel working that much? What are your thoughts on it?

Also, what type of job/career do you have?

[sickkyknarbar]

as of right now im working 55 hours a week and going to school full time with 14 units.. pure hell.

[TRexGAWD]

Welcome to working life man, it sucks but sometimes you have to do it. Just about anyone in the military or past military will tell you of the endless days and weeks. I put in about 90 hours a week while deployed. I work 7 days a week, start my shift at 1800 and end at 0630, every day. Get back to my bunk by 0730 after eating and wake up at 1500 later that day, hit the gym, shower, eat again, and off to work all over again. It's a painful cycle that makes most people go insane. Oh and you also gotta think, this isn't 12-13 hours sitting around in an air conditioned office, it's sweating my ass off in 100+ degrees with the most uncomfortable **** on.

I've never worked that much during a week in my life yet, I suppose you'd have to really like what you do OR need the job for whatever reasons to support that kind of lifestyle. A buddy of mine was an ibanker straight out of school, he started at JPMorgan and was doing 60-70 hr weeks straight out of school. He said it wore on him, but he made bank (like 200k 1st year) and eventually he'll be in similar jobs in his field that pay nearly the same, but require less time and are less stressful.

I'm working about 35 hrs a week right now at a job I really don't like and don't have a future with (just doing it to pay the bills) and it feels like I've worked 60 hrs. throughout the week, mostly because I dislike it.

[WhAtNoWbChSs]

too much work sucks ass, fuk that sht.

45 hours a week is about perfect. u still get 5 hours of overtime pay which still makes a big difference.

i dont envy the physical negatives you went through, but i wish i had something i needed/wanted to put hat much time in to.

kinda sucks just laying around surfing the internet
