    Why did you work that much?

    Good stuff. I worked crazy like that once before too, during the Kaseya ransomware breach. Was the specialist rebuilding functioning AD and recovery efforts in over 50 companies that month. It was a wild time, everything was on fire, so it was constant triage and scary recoveries (some lost absolutely everything - test your backups folks)

    Would 100% do it again but like you mentioned you knew it was very temporary. Doing that long term is insanity

    What job was that, if I may ask?

    I did 135 hour week once as a journalism intern. got fired because I didn’t do 140 (would walk to hotel, sleep 4 hours, wake up, walk back to field office - “wow,” you think, “what war was he covering?” and the answer is the war of an arts festival in northern england).

    didn’t go back to journalism after that.

    oh absolutely it was illegal, and I did it with full knowledge of it, and voluntarily, for a stipend instead of pay.

    just no point in being litigious when I’m just as happy to have a good story out of it.

    I hope you’re in a less shitty environment now, whatever field that may be in

    I’ve done it once when I worked for a consulting company, it was hell. The paycheck at the end of it almost made up for it though.

    I remember more than once someone on Reddit bragging about how they worked 90 hours a week. I’m like, dude, I wish I worked 10 hours a week.
