Modern Man exclaim...can you work more than 12 hours a everyday?

i guess if its for the better of the future of my family then why not...reaping the fruits of my labor is so sweet then if all my goals to my children have been reach...

If I live near the workplace and it will only require me to travel a few minutes from rest, I think this is workable. Also, the level of diffulty of the job. I am not a picky worker, but I believe in one's effort's worth. We need to live a balanced life and we need to be equally compensated with the task that we are doing.

Depends on the pay package and the stuff you work at . I wouldn't mind working for 18 hours a day if the job is to coach a football team lol :)) 12 hours is kinda normal i think . I have a lot of friends in software circle who work 10 hours at office and then come home refresh emself and then work again for some 4 to 5 hours a stretch . Not that it is easy by any means . There are stuff which could entice people . I hope you enjoyed your work that much to do it mechanically for 2 years :)

Hello dear odavonline. It is really difficult for me to work that many hours as you used to. I would have escaped from working under such circumstances because I don't think that I can suffer from the duration of so many hours of working a day. Take care, dear friend, and welcome back to mylot again.

i think it all depends on the amount of money you need in all honesty. if you need to work 12 hours a day to support your familly then it obviously needs to be done and i would do this if it meant my familly being well looked after, i am a single mother tho and i work 16 hours a week as well as caring for my children. we are very fortunate here in the uk that the government top up out earnings to a national average if we do not work enough hours or earn enough. this i think is a great thing in one way but not in another as there are people out there who outright refuse to work because they know the goverment will pay tehre rent council tax and give them money to live without doing a thing for it.

lucky me, im single & my company give me accomodation near the office, so I can work more than 12 hours per day, 6 days per weeks with a limited pressure.. Twice in a month at Saturday i got duty-off. I relax myself completely that time..

I think it would have been really impossible in my case to keep up with more than 12 hours a day work for 2 hours. they are doing their own profit and we have to work like that. also I can say like in my current company i travel a lot and work 9 hours. its more than 13 hours I am outside

I have worked 12 hours most of the time. From 8am - 9pm. But that is not really all work. I do mylot every now and then so I can't really say that I worked 12 hours, except if you would consider mylot as work. I think if one would work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, the quality time with the family would be sacrificed. Working these several number of hours mean spending the time more in the office than in the home. If I would have to have a work like this and there is no other option, I think I should have an understanding wife and kids. I have a lot of energy because I should spend the rest of my time with my family and this needs a lot of energy especially when I came from long hours of work. I should be able to play with my kids and be sweet with my wife even if I am tire. I think it would really be hard as I do not have that amount of energy in me.
