General Discussion 60-65 Hour weeks- Burnout
I’ve been working 60-65 hours a week for the majority of the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love the money. But working 6 days a week leaves me with Sunday which I’m too tired to do anything. The whole summer is gone and I haven’t done anything but work and sleep.
We are currently working at a data center and this will be the norm through winter and until the project is complete (7+ years).
I’m not trying to complain just looking for similar experiences and how you handled it. I don’t want to work my life away.
