What's the longest you've worked in a week? - jcole - Oct 2, 2025

I've worked 57.5 hours in total this week already. I have to work today, tomorrow, and more than likely Saturday too.

What's the longest you've worked in a week?

I've been known to do 70 to 80 hours in a week in summer season. It really is a crazy season for the restaurant business here.

I never really kept track because sometimes I worked at home on top of the office, but I think I must have been around 50 hours.

Depends when HF was at it's height, and I sold products 100+ hours straight. Offline - 96 hours. We got hour/two hour breaks. I'd save them up and get "naps" in.

I used to put in 60-70 a week years ago when I had two jobs. No way I'd do that now hnless it was my own company.

You're crazy man. I always respect the grind. Some people have business to take care of in life that requires the extra work. Makes the time off though more valuable. Or you cant relax because you have work in a coupke hours lol.

I was living on my own for the first time, so you had to grind or be homeless.

I would probably say around 70 maybe give or take.

Meh, 70 hours is like 3 days of work.

I'm full-time so it doesn't really matter if I work 40+, I get paid the same regardless

I've worked some 95+ hour weeks.

Back at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022. I was in retail and I took over a store where the previous manager had let go of almost the entire staff. Left me with 2 high school kids who couldn't work until 6pm. I worked open to close every day, I would come in a few hours early and stay a few hours late every day.
