What’s the longest time you spent in an office while working?

Tweet

Most offices across the globe have a mandate to be in office for at least 8 hours. Some organizations are flexible with hours spent in office while others are not. Worse, sometimes certain work cannot be completed at the luxury of our home and we end up staying more time in office to get the job done. When I started my career, I worked in a very toxic project and there was a time for almost a month where I would in office for almost 16 hours! I would reach the office at 7.30 and leave at 1 next morning and just straight to bed. I would have breakfast, lunch, dinner and coffee breaks and all of them put together would be just 1 hour. It was a major assignment and I also came on office on weekends and spent time, trying to complete the assignment. We were only given desktops to work on the assignments. Luckily after a month, I completed the assignment and was able to secure a laptop. Never again, I worked for 16 hours straight although I did end up working 10-12 hours everyday (even on weekends) for another toxic organization. Hope I can spend only the minimum hours in office and be at peace with my life. So, what’s the longest time you spent in an office while working?
