      Some 12h days and even longer I’ve done have been alright. But that’s with +50% and after two hours +100% overtime pay and it wasn’t as a rule but rather an exception for a specific week

        I worked 12h alternating day/night shifts on an irregular schedule for 4.5 years…

        I don’t recommend it

          That sounds horrifc tbh. For me the 12h+ shifts were just the work day continuing past the normal 8 hours and usually into the evening. Depending on the specific work pretty tiring but honestly not so bad. At least when you know it’s temporary, the weather isn’t too bad and if it doesn’t extend so much that you’ll be lacking sleep.

            Oh yeah, it was shit.

            I manned an internal IT helpdesk with 24/7 coverage for a global company.

            This included holidays as well.

      As long as this is about people in Russia and as long as this will lead to an end of the war, I don‘t care. Seems like sanctions pressure them to suggest this.

      Maybe we should remind billionaires that economists used to predict we’d work even less than we currently do? Keynes went as far as to predict we’d be working 15 hours a week by 2030.

        The ultra wealthy hate Keynes, it’s why they’ve pushed governments away from Keynesian policies for decades
