What's the most overtime that you've worked in a week?

[Engineer]

As I just worked 82 hours overtime this week (Holiday helped in that all that time was overtime), I'm curious as to how much you've worked in one or two weeks?

Oh, and I'm off at 4:30 am again tomorrow for another 14 to 16 hour day!

hmm.. 14 hr shifts for 7 days strait. No overtime pay for active duty. Our Commander was pretty cool and got us some downtime after that.

Most I ever worked in a week was 112 hours total (72 hours overtime). Did that for three weeks - 16 hours/day, 7 days/week.

I did 92 hours one week in August last year when another driver needed the week off.

I was on a pace for 160 hours in two weeks before I quit.

About 3 months ago, our shop was very low on work, almost to the point of a layoff. I sorta saw this coming as it always does. The 2 managers were desparate to get work, so they "BOTH" took everything that they could get without consulting the other. They both made promises on equipment that "HAS" to be in production this month or lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, since nobody was in communications, here you go.

I came in to work about 3 weeks ago and was told that I would need to take 4 pieces of equpment, with two stations on each (esentially 8 pieces of equipment) and integrate them into a workcell with a robot doing all the work. I was told it was DUE ON JUNE 1st!!!

I've worked no less than 13 hours each day (actually only one 13 hour day) and up to 17.5 hours. The reason overtime was easier to get was that Monday was a paid holiday and all time on that day was esentially like weekend overtime.

At least I get paid 1.5X for all of those hours!

Ive worked 70-80 hours/week every week since last June (with a couple weeks off for vacation). Only got two more weeks to go.

We had one week where a guy was on vacation, another in the hospital, and one that had just transferred, so it was myself and the manager in the store for the week. We both basically worked 12 hours a day, all 7 days. Funny enough it wasn't that bad, long hours, but I normally work 9 hours a day anyways, another 3 isn't so hard, and without the other guys there (who create more problems than they usually fix) it was pretty stress-free.

Plus I had one hell of a paycheck

I once worked a total of probably 55-60 hours back at my old job...this was when I was going to school full time also, about 16 credit hours

I had 114 hours last week alone. I won't do that many this week as I already took today off....too damn tired!

2nd day off in 4 weeks.

Was told by some of the "oldtimers" there (several backed up the story) that the shop once went to 12 hours per day, 7 days a week for almost 6 straight months. Several worked every single hour. At that time, if they didn't take their vacation, they received a separate check for the vacation days, so many kept right on working and received the vacation checks to go along with all the overtime pay.

On a final note, it doesn't help having 28 people building equipment and two engineers designing and programming all of the control systems! :Q

 

[imported_DocHolliday]

damn......... you guys are crazy... I worked 125 hours in two weeks during tax season and that was more than plenty for me thanks!

 

[Engineer]

Oh, and just for shtz and giggles, I'm going on vacation for about 10 days in about 1.5 weeks. I can't wait to see them squirm with all of those jobs sitting there when I walk out the door on Thrusday evening! Buwhahahahahahahah! :Q :laugh:

 

[Engineer]

Well, the 2 week period finally ended. 106 hours of OT and that was with Sunday off. Overslept today and didn't make it in until 6:10 am...but stayed until 6:45 pm to make up for it!

Whew....and it aint over yet! **sigh**

I've done 70 hours work week before. AND i still attended classes.

I did a full month of hundred hour weeks back in '86, I said "fuk this", quit and went to Florida for a year

 

[nageov3t]

when the North East had that big blackout a few summers ago I pulled an 80 hour week (one near-24 hour day when the power went out, since they needed people to collect cash from people trying to get on the ferries since the ticket system was out, and the rest of the week was spent counting cash and dealing with pisses off customers who couldn't understand why we were charging people or why there were long lines).

edit: I mean, wtf. sure we were the only way out of the city other than the bridges, where traffic was at a standstill, but just because the power is out doesn't mean that we're suddenly no using up gas or paying our employees.

 

[Pliablemoose]

72 hours total this week for me, piece of cake, just finished my last shift till Monday

 

[baclips6]

In a 2 wk period, 80 regular plus 96 overtime

 

[FinalFantasy]

i think 40 hours of OT was the most for me

edit: in two weeks that is

Oh, and for the 4 week total, it's 160 regular hours and 187 overtime hours! :Q

I used to work all OT offered. I've worked many a 84 hour week.

Seeing how there are only three people in my classification per shift and every one of them needs coverage, I'm offered OT all the time. These days I don't work 12 hours. I'll work the weekends, but I'm too old to work them 12's. Besides, I make too much money as it is.

If I worked all OT offered, I'd break 5 figures. I wouldn't have a life, but my wife would be rich.
