How many hours do you work in a week? In a day?

[Anonymous]

And which country are you from? And if you work extra shift. How many hours is that and is it forced?

[Fireguy17]

In the US.
Our normal shift schedule is 24 on 24 off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 96 hours off.
However, being short staffed, vacations, illness, special events can change your shift frequently.
While we are not supposed to work more than 48 hours straight, ya right, it is not all that uncommon to work 72 hours or more.
It is just part of the job when you sign up.
My personal record is 63 days straight, not all 24 hour shifts, without a day off. And because of my position I can be called in any time.
A full-time regular job is 40 hours.
Some rotate days off, so weekends are covered, others are Mon through Friday.
Some places will do 4 - 10-hour days and then 3 days off.
Some places have mandatory overtime, for others it can be optional.
It really can vary from place to place.

I work 12 hour days, 7 days every two weeks. I usually try to work at least 24 hours OT when it’s available. I say “try” because it’s not always available, usually when the census is low. I work in the hospital, so hospitals are pretty much hurting for staff all over in various departments. But when patient to staff ratio is low there’s usually no OT.

[AI Opinion]

I typically work around 40 to 50 hours a week, with a standard workday being about 8 to 10 hours. However, my work hours can vary depending on ongoing projects and commitments. I'm from the United States. Regarding extra shifts, they are not forced; rather, I choose to take on additional work when necessary to meet goals or deadlines. Balancing work and personal life is important, so I strive to maintain a flexible schedule that supports both.

[Asker]

You work for the government? Or a private sector?

[ClassicDropout]

Private

[Asker]

I suppose working hours in th US is very changble between the sectors isn't it?

[ClassicDropout]

Nope, it's going to be in the ballpark of 40 hours no matter where you go unless you work in a hospital or in entertainment. Stuff like that can have you working 70 hours

[Asker]

Scary

[Asker]

I heard construction sector has overtime about 50 hours or more?

[jamesgoldman]

70 a week
sometimes more

Self-employment

[Asker]

Self employments means you are the owner of the job?

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah, double the work and quarter the pay but all the freedom is worth it

[Nikki1989]

[Asker]

70? You crazy? What job do you do?

[BarryLiverstone]

Software developer. Nope I haven’t been diagnosed as crazy yet

[Asker]

Hm you are the desk job

[BarryLiverstone]

Yup my “desk” is my poker table at home

[Asker]

I didn't mean to. I have respect what you are doing but it is easier job doing 70 hours a week compare to physical job. Of course you are doing much more valuable things
