[quote=Anonymous]I've always worked hard and worked long hours, or worked 2-3 jobs and/or side hustles when I was younger.

I got into civil engineering and at one of the companies  I worked for I got stuck with an engineering project where the higher-ups really screwed the pooch and grossly underestimated what was involved and left us grossly overwhelmed and shortstaffed and I ended up working every singe day 7 days a week 8AM til 10PM or later for about 2 and a half months straight.  As we got closer to the deadline I was working every day til 2 AM.  On the final day as I wrapped the project up I worked an all nighter from 8AM straight through til 11AM the next day and left the office as soon as I was done...  as I was driving home in the rain I actually saw visual hallucinations from lack of sleep, stress, something.  I made buckets of overtime but very first thing I did after a long sleep was start looking for another job.

That kind of work situation totally isn't worth it but I think nothing of working 10 hour days - but these days I also take care to take time off and relax.[/quote]
