Topic: What's the longest shift you've ever worked? - page 3. (Read 801 times)
I worked a 16 hour shift 6 am - 10 pm. But it was not difficult for me, on the contrary, I liked this work! We worked in the reserve almost in the wild! We had a great company of people, we laughed a lot, had fun and worked well. We made trails, river crossings and more. I worked like this for almost 3 months. And I still remember those days with a smile!
My 16h shift, this is my longest working day.
The reason is that I helped him to do that, his son was sick so he had to take him to the doctor.
You see, working is a slavery. What is more important - some job that is basically meaningless, or a sick childrens health?The reason is that I helped him to do that, his son was sick so he had to take him to the doctor.
I am thinking a lot about it. We have apps to share cars (basically stupid idea), but we have no app to do some random odd job and get paid instantly. And have bid system. And reputation system. Everyone will be a winner, except modern shave owners a.k.a employers.

i never worked in my entire life not even one hour
Lol and are you proud of this?
I mean, ok... You don't have to work overtime (it is not something that you have to be proud of) but you have to do something to make a living. If you are lazy then you do not have to work not even one hour of course...
Nobody in my country have become rich by working. All current millionaires become millionaires by privatizing state owned property at the downfall of USSR. Later some organized crime bosses become millionaires in the turmoils of 90-ties. Working people get just enough money to get by from one payday to next one. All people I know have risen above the basic worker by engaging in different criminal activities.

24 hour shift is pretty common here. Nurses work 24 hour shifts. Security guards work 24 hour shifts and then have 2 days free, and then 24h shift again. Some sawmill workers work 24 hour shifts too.
Work is slavery.

I worked for 10 hours daily on construction site as an site engineer
so maintaining the daily shift?never had a overtime mate?anyway maybe the consistency of your company is indeed.i never worked in my entire life not even one hour
proud of this? you should be. 
My longest shift was at a ad/warehouse managment company. 18 hour shift to get the election ads sorted and delivered to the mailpersons. It was quite taxing shift, but the overtime pay was really really nice 
that is what the fruit of having longer working time.

Hey OG, what shift was that? 4 years shift?! Was it in a Russian gulag?
Felt like it at times.
Did you also wear chains? And "bracelets" (to avoid saying "cuffs")
i never worked in my entire life not even one hour
That's ok if you are <18 and admirable if you are >30. In the last case, did you ask your parents how tired they are?

I also worked shifts from 8-10-10am to 14 hours within the morning a bit like you I didn't do much for a few times thanks to family problems It seemed very annoying to me I used to be so tired and didn't want to travel again the subsequent day. That's why I work part-time now thereupon bed.

Yes I worked on the longest shift 8.AM 8.PM It's very annoying to me Feeling too tired not to want to go to work later They have to act as they wish and pass the time in a catch. I worked in a 12-hour shift It's usually a company you can't take a vacation with if you want to.
I worked a 14 hour shift 8am-10pm
It is 24 hours straight shift.My buddy in work has emergency he needs not to go work that day since we have 12 hours shift rotation that time,i had no choice but to accept His reason and stay working the whole day.
But of course having a 1-2 sleep in grave yard timel

Yes. I was suggested to "change the lose-lose situation with a win-win situation", the solution being to "shake hands and go separate ways".
I chose the lose-lose situation though and here I am - demoted.

Hehe, it would be nice! I was also thinking that they could build me a statue. But all I got was a demotion. Fair enough, right?
That sucks. Office politics, I guess?

I worked for for 19 hours straight due to a client company I was placed at being part of an open tender for a government project. That day was the submission day.
Everyone was just printing out, sorting and packing stuffs. It was agonizing af, only caught some forty winks.

My longest shift was 21h, as far as I remember (8h was the normal shift, 1h of lunch break and 12h of overtime - including overnight).
However, several years I had periods of 3-4 consecutive months when I was working from Monday to Friday between 9AM-10PM and each weekend 8h/day.
So far, in ~13.5 years at the same company I achieved 5261h of overtime which, in normal time (~170 working hours per month) mean 30.94 months extra -- almost 2 years and 7 months of overtime.
I can't believe it sometimes...
- Edit: oh, and I forgot to mention - these were only the paid hours, those officialy counted. Besides them I have spent other hundreds of hours of overtime from dedication.
