Honestly I can't even think of something to do for 17 hours a day for a whole month. Was this guy the whole department by himself?
My job is very behind on the workload right now that working 120 hour weeks as an individual would maybe get us caught up but no way in hell would I do that. Im surprised this person's manager even let them do it, my manager would have told somebody that it isn't worth it and to find a balance.
Probably, yeah. I worked at a bank during staffing issues and was scheduled for 65 hour weeks, but even that wasn't enough time. I usually hit 75. No overtime pay. I spent an hour every night applying for jobs and took the first offer out of there.
