The longest most of us ever work is 10 or 12 hours in a day, but this person had to work many more than that. In some jobs, people technically work a schedule of one week on, one week off. If you're a home nursing aid, that might be necessary for you to properly care for your client. But it's not like you're literally working 100% of the time. You still have breaks to eat meals or make phone calls, and you sleep at night while your patient is also asleep. No one would make their employee work such lengthy hours unless they were totally incompetent, or had it out for that employee.
One employee in the tech industry shared the story of their day-and-a-half-long endeavor. It seemingly stemmed from their boss telling them that they were paid salary, not hourly. It's a trick that so many companies use to get their employees to work extra. The whole point of salaried work is that your company knows your value, and wants to have you around for 40+ hours each week to provide your expertise. It shouldn't mean working unlimited hours just because your boss insisted. At least this person's story has a great ending, which you can check out below.
