What is the maximum number of hours you spent at work

I wonder if there is anyone who had broken my record of 25hrs. 6 AM Sun - 8 AM with (1 hr nap at 12 am midnight) Mon - building an HTML control designer for a demo. Unfortuantely the demo had to be postoponed until today when it was finally a successful demo. I am finally going to have more than six hours of sleep today.:)
4 days - I slept, ate, voided, and worked at work while employed at a sweatshop start-up in Nov 1999. I will never do that again for something that is not mine. This was followed by a couple of 36 hour stretches (a week or so apart). In the end it accomplished nothing :( ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

I have been through a similar thing and came to the conclustion that any company who need their employees to work like that is obviously poorly managed and probably on the way down.

I did a 30-hour stint a couple weeks back. I hope to never do that I again. X| ETA: IMO, it's a waste to work that many hours consecutively. It may be different for others, but by the 22nd or 23rd hour, my productivity had dropped significantly. Jon Sagara As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks.

The longest I have gone is 38 hours straight stopping only for bio breaks and food. At the end I did accomplish what I needed, however I slept for about 20 hours afterwards. Back in my earlier days pulling a 20+ hour day was a weekly experience. But these are the things one must do to help build a company from scratch. Now since I have paid my dues they are definitely a thing of the past, plus I’m too damn old to keep that nonsense up anymore. :zzz: A better question is: have you worked more hours than an average person does in a lifetime? Which from the brief research I did says 88,000 hours for continuously employed people. I figure I will hit this goal by age 40 :wtf: Troy Marchand Dundas Software

By quite a lot in my younger years :) My first programming job was for Holiday on Ice in Amsterdam. I lived in in the red light district near Central Station and worked a bit out of town so I took the #2 tram home each evening. I remember vividly that my existence was the following: * I had a studio flat with literally no furniture. Only a mattress on the floor. Why have furniture when you work all day/night. * I would work all day until 2am or so with the biggest decision being "Do I go home or work all night/day again without sleep?" There's no telling how many 30-35+ hour "days" I pulled (no naps). * When I did go home, I would be absolutely wiped out and would simply crash fully clothed on the mattress. I would then get up the next morning, shower, change and do it all over again - pretty much 7 days a week. Then again, I'm probably not anywhere near a "normal person" :) Windows Vista Program Manager MSDN Online MICROSOFT Windows Vista Developer Center My Microsoft Blog

The maximun I ever did was ~35 hours. I was at Prodigy at that time and it all started with a POC at ~10AM and resulted in a working product (a small one, but a working POC nonetheless) by 12 noon the next day. I stayed at work that day and completed the workday and still did some gaming after that (DN3D, IIRC). I still went out and hit the pool hall and bar after that, but since that was not at work, it does not count! :) Peace! -=- James
If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

After reading all of these posts I am ashamed to admit that my longest coding day at work was only 9 hours. Honestly, I am complete worthless at coding after about an 8 hour day. I don't know what kind of software everyone else rights but most of my day is spent writing code for the rules and regulations for Workers Compensation insurance at my insurance company. After 8 hours of that I am practically brain dead. Brett A. Whittington Application Developer

I have done 24-36hr stints prior to missions several times. You'll get used to the delays, better done than late. The longest would have to be my prior employer. I was handed the assignment at 3pm on Friday.... I left at 8am on monday to take the rest of the day off. I did nap for about 1-2 hours every 12 hours, but never left work. The hardest part of it, I received no compensation for the extra hours (salaried -- exempt) and was demanded to show up on tuesday and chewed out by the boss for not being there monday. [edit: BTW... I started looking for a new job on that following Wednesday... and everyone was surprised that I would leave] _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
