I had some 70+ hour for several in a row working two jobs in the summer when I was in my 20's but it wasn't just sitting in a chair which I assumed is what got this guy.

Working an office/desk job already sounds like living hell to me. Its not natural

I cant imagine doing it for 100 hours in a week.

He probably got a blood clot from the inactivity

when I was on the "fast track" to CIO/CISO I worked those hours often.
Hell, I was CIO twice.
Hated it.

Then I said Fluck iT!

It just isn't worth it.
I'm in the top 10% in the world in what I do and every time they try to sneak a "promotion" my way I kick and scream, and cry and threaten to quit till they go away.

The extra money just isn't worth it.

 

[braalian]

I almost never work a minute over 36 hours a week and plan to never work more than that ever again

 

[shockedcanadian]

I used to work 50+ hours in a salaries position with commission. I'd also work the holidays no one liked to work because, why not.

Now as a mature man I have learned from the younger generation who respect their freedom. You may die with a little less left for others or the taxman, but it is better to find ones path in life.

That said, if someone wants to work 100 hours a week, that's their choice. I hope they make billions. Just understand the risks and the tradeoff. I'd love a job on Wall Street, why the hell not?

70 hrs a week was the most I have done.

I second this. Money may be needed, but you have to be alive and well to spend it.

God bless you and that man's family always!!!

When I worked on pipelines back in the 70s, I loved working 7/12. I could work several weeks, and then lay back and lick my nuts for a few weeks till the next long hour job started.

Yes, 100+ hours a week for about six months back in the early 90s, but I was pretty young then. Only in My early 30s.

7 years ago, in My mid 50's, we'd often work six months at a time doing 84 hour work weeks. Working for Senator Caseys sister doing medicare mailings.

They'd black out 5 to 7 months at the end of the year starting in September and schedule 12 hour days, 7 days a week until it was done.

Great decade !!!

Hard to imagine how much the country has declined in 20 years

Did you see Alien in 1979

 

[HikerGuy83]

During a refinery turnaround, the technical staff is working 7x13 and often up to 16 hours a day. So, it did get close to 100 hrs.

Whenever it came out. I don't recall the year, but 79 sounds right. It was a date, and the young lady nearly cost Me My arm. She was holding on so tight.
