general What Is The Most Hours You've Worked In A Week?

[Meson Bolt 2,650]

Well, my original thought was 84. During a 42-day long fielding event, we'd work 12-hour shifts with no weekends and very sparse days off.

If you count Basic Training as work (which I don't really, but... eh), we'd work 16 hour days, six days a week, and only get Sunday morning as free time. That pads out to about 104 hours a week.

In terms of working for pay, on average I work 10 hours total on the weekends, but this past memorial day weekend allowed me to work 15 hours over 3 days. I think once I get a full-time job, the number will get higher.

[Here No Longer 5,286]

The most I've done is 0 because I've never had a job... 

[Partialgeek514 5,015]

I think I worked about 50 or more hours in a week once or twice. The factory I used to work at gets crazy around Christmas time.

[MangoFoalix 25,057]

40? 50? I don't really know, I never kept track.

[Sunset Rose 254]

I had two jobs for a time in my life and was working 70-74 on average between the two of them for a while. Thankfully that was quite a while ago.

[SparklingSwirls 21,555]

I’m still a student so probably 25 or so during the summer.

I did have a part-time job while in high school; it varied every week but a couple weeks per year it could be around 20 hours. This was already after full school days of 7 hours though.

[PoisonClaw 8,173]

I think I worked somewhere around 50-60 hours at my last job when they were in desperate need of staff during the rush period.

[Sroka001 7]

Well my record time would be 60 hours in one week.

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Good question... I'd say the most hours I've worked is during holiday season of 2017. (Man, I kinda miss that year. )

[Prospekt 11,035]

About 43 hours. That was a couple weeks ago when there was a fair in town and business increased by like 1000x. It was hectic but I survived. Before my current job, my record had been around 35 hours.

[The Historian 518]

I've routinely worked between 72 and 84 hours in a week. But I don't work there anymore. The most I've pulled where I work now is 51 but that was during QA time when we were short staffed and I was clocking out between 10 and 11 PM.

[Lucky Bolt 35,226]

Zero, as I don't have a job yet. 

[Misty Gust 708]

On the clock 24/7. I've been pulled out if school to go to work.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,613]

My last (and only) job was at Burlingtons for my school work program, and I worked (if I can remember) at least an hour or two.

[Troblems 5,622]

I worked a job where I was doing 84 hour work weeks. This went on for about 6 months before they hired enough people to cover the number of tickets coming in. Then it went down to 72, and it was nice. It was particularly tough because I was working from 7pm on, and we would have to do musical desks about halfway through our shift. Big ol yikes.

[Clawdeen 20,508]

5 12 hour days is the most I’ve done

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,177]

10 years ago, it was 16 hours.  

[EpicEnergy 23,245]

About 72 hours in one week and then worked about 70 hours the next.

[Misty Shadow 8,197]

A little over sixty for me, that was when I was working for Amazon in late 2018. Most I do for Macy's now is fifty, but that is only if they have mandatory overtime during peak season in November-December.

[J.J 930]

I used to work at a meat factory and there is something called "Ham Season" it's about around this time start getting ready for Thanksgiving and then it lasts all the way through New Years, 7 day weeks, I've worked for months straight, literally, and when things slowed down was regularly working 6 day weeks .. sometimes I'm nostalgic for it, this was me  2014- late 2017, it really hurt my psychological health though, but yeah It picks back up before Easter for the Easter hams, I've worked literally without a day off like over 6 months before because orders were behind and when I went got time off it was literally only a day... And this was a physical job, I used to push wet wracks of dripping pork around lol

But in one technical working pay period, only 67 hrs in 7 days, but 40-50 was time and a half and 50+ is double time on sundays

I think 70 or something. It was a prior job and I usually wound up with 60 hours a week, sometimes one day off and sometimes none.

This but it was also with no lunch break as well. The vet office always had about a million excuses as to why I couldn't take my break at the moment. So most days I ended up working a full 12 hours no lunch. I'd mention how I'm legally required a break from the hours I'm working going by the law in the state of Delaware. They were like "We D provide you with a lunch break. You just can't take it right now." Now ofc would never come. I'd stop at Sonic on the way home and get myself a slushie and chilidogs. 

Ended up in the same boat with the company I currently work for in Maryland. (From 2019-2021 timeframe. It's while I was on third shift). Stuck working 12 hours shifts manufacturing daily with no lunch breaks. Even worse in Maryland there's no law requiring lunch breaks unless you work retail so I didn't get one. 

[Fluttershutter 2,886]

I don't know exactly. It was something over 60 hours.

[Tao 8,866]

Normal is 28-38 in my part time job,  when I was working two:  42.
