Have you ever worked 16 hrs in a row - double shift

I would work a double. I used to work doubles at a job I had a couple years ago. My pay there was only $7.85 an hour. I didn't have a chair to sit on there either.

i worked from 3 friday afternoon until 6 am on monday morning thank god those days are over

years ago when I was an nurses aid I did a double shift as a lot of aides were snowed in .that was really hard as You never got to sit down much becAuse with the shortage of nurses aides the patients were on the bell almost constantly. needless to say after that was over I did sleep like a log. whew, what a time.

Yes, I have, and for far less pay. While most states require a lunch period be given. However, some states have NO laws regarding rest breaks or meal periods. I know many people who have worked 17-20 hour shifts, standing except for lunch breaks. And I wish that the times I did it that it wouldve been as easy as just checking people for tickets in hand. People in Michigan's auto industry do this ALL the time... they're hired as temporaries (minimum wage there is now $7.50/hour I believe), working 8-16 hours a day, 7 days a week from around October through the Christmas season.... do it or no job. I've done it lots of times... working at a gas station, Japanese auto parts manufacturer (and that was faaaaar worse than working in American ones!), fast food places. Should've tried it back when minimum wage was like $4.15/hour or less.
