For the sake of my own curiosity, I want to know how much worse it can get. I'm asking because I have a friend I saw this Thanksgiving who works 80-hour weeks, something which would definitely kill me.

I'll start. All things considered, I sink about 50 hours a week into class/work for class.

About 50 hours a week in my office, and throughout the weekends I am usually responding to work emails on my phone

Just under 40 hours. I get no holidays.

80 hour weeks... consistently? I would never do that, not even if I owned the company. I would only do it infrequently given it's something I own or there is some seriously good compensation for doing it.

Anywhere between 37.5-45hrs whenever I am working, not including possibly keeping up with emails evenings and weekends. I think anything more for a non-management position is almost absurd and even for a management position anything beyond 60 is pretty crazy.

I enjoy what I do, but it's not the only thing I enjoy doing. It also requires a decent amount of thinking. It's mentally draining and a lot of the time the best thing to do when stuck on something is take a step back, do some other shit for a while, and come back tomorrow to have it magically solved instantly like it's the easiest thing in the world.

Right now I have 16.5 hours of lecture/tutorial/labs a week. Some weeks I do 16.5 hours (or less) of schoolwork, other weeks I do 60+. A typical work day is 8-5 at most places, that's enough for me!

I work 40, but lunch isn't mandatory. There used to be a weekend crew, 12 hours sat and 12 sunday but you get paid for 40. Any week day you work is all overtime, it would suck losing the weekend but I could deal with it if it meant a 2 day work week.

That is the sweetest deal in the history of sweet deals, I would jump on that in a second.

my summer job was about 45 hours/week

when i worked at panera bread (10/05-08/06) i was at like, 45-50/week for most of it
this was mostly due to poor management so i kept having to stay later because they would schedule someone who--in writing--let them know that they wouldn't even be in the state of ohio and therefore the manager had to call every employee to find someone to come in =/
on the plus side, i made them order me larosa's pizza a lot so that i'd have it when my shift ended :>
i also worked from 5am-1pm for a while there, too, which no amount of free afternoons could make up for having to go to bed at 8pm

Unfortunately that was back when the printing business was kicking and you could make a ton of money, those days aren't coming back.

Pretty much 40 on the dot, I'm bound to a train schedule so I can't work late or early really.

Akina: bitch I will stab you in the face

Right now, anywhere between 38-40 hours usually depending on how much freight we get in and whether or not we leave early. Overtime = catch shit, so thats out.

Most hours I ever logged in one work week was about 58 hours.

Longest shift in one day was a 16 hour black friday shift about 3 years ago.

Taking an extended hiatus from gaming

in college, work + school was 50-60 hours.

after college, 48, then 55, not counting the business trips to HK/Shenzhen, or the occasional 36 hour stint upgrading servers/services, or a weekend moving the company from the old office to the new.

now? i "work" 40.

Too many if you count in watching siblings.

Waaaaaaaaay too many.

I did a 12 hour day once. I pretty much refuse to work OT now unless its just like an hour or my boss asks me to specifically (usually its at someone elses request). I appreciate the need to have people help, but i can't be arsed anymore and just don't care.

30-35 hours a week.
