A whole lot of Blue Collar jobs do. Healthcare is notorious for it, but I'm in Heavy Equipment Repair. I drive a Field Service truck and fix anything from hospital backup generators, to compact construction equipment, to mining class equipment. I put about 1500 miles on the truck last week (and yes, I got Monday off and refused to work Saturday) going all over the place to fix dead machines. From Tuesday to Friday I worked 51 hours.
Right but 51 isn't 70 and the amount of Americans working 70 hour weeks is sub 5%, closer to 2%.
It's quite rare to get to the point of "almost working 2 weeks".
But yes it will largely be tradesmen and healthcare doing a brunt of these. Especially in service trades. I barely worked over 40 when I did non-residential new construction plumbing. But I also had the benefit of a union.
Also a 4 day week.
The week before was 65, the week before 74. The week before, 52. Highest I have gone was 94, but that was an extreme outlier because I was working out of town and worked all 7 days in the week which I almost never do.
My wife takes Sertraline, and there are times I wish she had that side effect... but then again, the last 2 times she has been ready to go I was very very much not, so, yeah.... again, thank God that isn't the only thing our relationship is based on....
Same but not sertraline lmao. I can’t complain about it to anyone in real life because they don’t get it. But it’s so fucking draining. I’m tired.

" I might be bisexual, but it's a little too late" that being said with the straight face and grayscale killed me 🤣
