Nah - just saw a mention of a death-march that so closely matched my most horrendous war story that I thought it must have been made by someone who had been in the trenches with me.
Anything after 40 hours per week is considered overtime in the states, apparently. I don't know if there's an actual maximum number of hours you can legally work.
I've heard that working hours for truckers is very strict in Europe but not as strict in north america. I wonder how that relates across other industries. For truckers it's mostly for physical safety, but cognitive stress can be just as dangerous.
And actually I remember it as 110 hour weeks (though it's possible that I was the slacker of the bunch).
Yeah, we had something like 3 months of working 15 to 18 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Totally possible.
Totally stupid.
