That depends. If you mean at the office, 12 hours would be about the longest. However, I always brought my work home with me, and often after dinner I might put in another 2-8 hours, depending on what I was working on.
I'm actually surprised there aren't longer hours logged here.
I was part of a team (6 of us) launching a website way back in 2000. We started Monday morning at 7AM and finished Tuesday at about 7PM. So roundabout 36 hours, there were breaks and meals (individually) but no sleep.
I was home by 8pm, went right to bed and was in the office at 8:30AM the next day, in bed again by 8PM that night and all was right with the world.
Of course that was 14 years ago...if I tried than now I'd be walking around like a zombie for 2 weeks.
Around fifteen hours, but was there for about eighteen. Snowed in so I worked through the night until crews plowed the roads the following morning - took the next day off.
I came in for my scheduled 4 hour 2nd day on the job shift on black friday at Toys R us at 4 in the morning. a bit after midnight I went home. Got a 3 hour nap in, and then came back and put in another 17 hours. My first paycheck was only for 3 days of work and I still got overtime.
Around 130 hours straight. Once in college I stayed up from Sunday at 8am to Friday at five pm. Finals week and I only bought the text books that Sunday morning. Crazy as finals counted for 100% of grade. My college let you skip midterm and have final count 100% which I did. Then waited till last minute.
At work I did 36 a few times. no big deal. But what really tired me I was on a project once where we worked 12 hours days. My commute was two hours and we worked 45 days straight every day. even sat and sunday it mentally drained me having no weekends or holidays.
At my old firm a few folks worked 25 to 26 hour days. They actually were doing billable work on business trips flying against tme zones. I recall the client called up and complained you cant bill 25 hours in a single day but we showed him the proof.
The longest shift I did without going home or going off to sleep, 17 hour straight work. Only got paid 8 hours out of that 17 hour shift. Sucks to be on salary!
I worked 12 hours. I was on salary too, but I was in front of a computer most of the time so it wasn't as bad as full on labor. However, I did have to rest every few hours for 15 minutes towards the end.
Last weekend I worked 3pm to 6am. Grabbed a nap and had to double back at 3pm and work to 730 am. I have another 3pm to 6am with a 3pm double back next Friday. It's going to be like this for the next two and a half years.
https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/questio...2195803AAlMd9t just reading this on yahoo answers and they are talking about the longest shifts they have done and they are mentioning 35-40 hours shifts so just wondering what is the longest shift you have ever done?
16hrs, but I work this shift a lot.
