What is the most overtime you have worked?

[Hot_Wheels]

Well im a claims adjuster for a home insurance company, we have a on call phone we take turns trading off during the week. I have the phone this week and its been busy! we get a 1/4 hour for each call (average call is 2 minutes) im at 48 hours of over time already! i worked 6 days straight and the rest of the week has been on call. Im on Vacation the week of Sept 1st which i plan to work on the festiva all week. Im going to be burnt out soon!

I work 12's (with 13-14 hr days at least once a week) for just shy of 300 days a year. Add in 35minute drive one way every day, and yea...

If your talking about stints, I've done a couple 36 hour days, and had weeks with 90some hours on the check stub....that stuff is for the birds.

I've pretty much only ever worked in factories, I don't get extreme amounts of overtime, I enjoy my time off too much to wanna change it either lol

I work maintenance so sometimes there are weeks where i'll do 70+ hours for months at a time.

[Larry Hampton]

I worked a job once working 70+ a week for about a year.

Most at one time I ever worked was 54 in a row.

I work at a restaurant so 60+ hours a week is a normal week. No break time, no overtime but all the free food I want ! NOM NOM NOM!

I'm a postal clerk, so summer months are usually less busy, but I still average 5 to 8 hours over time a week. Once November and December hits, the madness of Christmas comes and I might average 54 or so hours a week. Any thing over 10 hours a day and we get double time, or penalty overtime, which is awesome.

it is illegal for them not to pay overtime unless you are on salary. You could add it all up and make them pay...retro....if you desired. Just saying.

My Friend was in a similar situation working houirly at a very nice very high dollar gourmet kitchen as a dishwasher. He didn't get his paid breaks very often but he didn't complan because the Chef would make them dinner specially. it was a good deal for him

Starting 11 hour shifts tomorrow, but do not have to work more than 52 a week. Double time starts at 52 though.

Way back, in Daytona Beach, Spring Break of 89, I worked for a few weeks on practically no sleep, Mountain Dew, and Tootsie Rolls.

Winter of 04 I spent about a month doing 90+ hours a week rescuing a failing Papa John's in Savannah GA.

I work 39.5 hours at PJ's now, and about 20 a week on cars on the side.

I couldn't do that to my mom n pop

I worked seasonal at a farming co-op delivering feritlizer to crop dusters, lowest week i had was 58hrs, averaged in the mid 60s for the most part. But some of the guys there worked upper 80s for about 4 months straight.
Some guys had checks of over $1k a week at $8.75/hr (not smart to do when your job consists of driving 50k pound trucks around)

[junspeed]

When I was a CS for earthlink I was able to work over time for about 36 hrs in 10 days (on top of the 80 regular working hours)
