Have you experienced working overtime alone at the office?

for almost ten years, until two years ago, i was working very late in front the computer. i worked as a computer technician, programmer and encoder all in one. i stayed in the office after all the other workers are finished with their tasks. i will be left alone to encode all the details of their work, the information in the manifests. that was a courier company with international destinations.

Hi Metatronik I have experienced in working over night alone both in the office and from home,especially when I take the 2nd shift from 3:00 to 12:00. When the workload is heavy and schedule is urgent,I always need to OT till morning. It is boring. I hate to OT like that.During the night ,no others can support you when you encounter any difficulty.And after the night, you would feel exhausted.

Yes I have worked overtime alone in a huge office many times. Because of my work load and deadlines I have no choice. Late nights and even on Sundays and Public Holidays. My office is located on the 3rd floor. Is 4-storey high. We had a watchman sitting on the ground floor at the reception area after office hour. There is only one entrance. Is an old building. I concentrate on my work and never think of other things. I was eighteen then....LOL

Well I'm a student and not working. So i have never experienced it. But I know it really sucks. I just wish I'd never face it.

It depends on the location of the office XD.

I have experience like that too. However, the more you think about it , the more you are afraid . So what i suggest is , try to think of something else or just focus on your work ! Why think so much ?

I've never been alone at night in the office, but I see no problem with that. I even think it would be interesting, I would have more freedom to work without pressure from the boss. I think if we see this situation for a positive side,it can be an interesting experience.
