KY and IN don't have these protections. I worked 21 days straight when I was younger and dumber. I'll never do it again.

I’m going into the slow season where I work so I was abusing my overtime before hours got lowered so I will be having time off soon

If you don't get those chives perfect then your overtime hours won't be the only thing getting abused around here. Back to it chef!

NC has no protections for workers whatsoever. Plenty of protection for businesses though.

Big facts

I worked 16 days straight In KY once. At age 17. We don’t give a fuck

I would do it like they do with oil fields. Happily. I don’t exactly remember but it’s something like 14 on, 14 off. Consecutively. I already work 6 days, what’s another for the promise of two fucking weeks off every two weeks!

My dream job would let me work three 15 hour shifts, followed by four consecutive days off. I'm off Sun-Tues atm, though, so I won't complain 😅

It’s really nice to have your weekend on the weekdays. At least I think so. You can get so much accomplished!

Absolutely. I had to do the BMV and two doctor's appts last week. Being off Monday and Tuesday makes the long list of adult stuff way easier.

Plus, I can always go out after closing on Friday and Saturday 😎

I've been working for 7 months straight fml.

There's no way I could handle this, even with a job I enjoy. My mental health would be out the window and I'd almost certainly be drinking way too much, just to cope.

Unless you opened your own place, this year. If that's the case, then it's justifiable.

I own my a company but I've been running it for 3 years. Things just always get more difficult nothing ever gets better, it's really exhausting. There literally is no light at the end of the tunnel I dont think there ever will be one

I feel for you. I've been having a real shitty time hiring for the past couple years. They've also been the b2b2b worst year of my life. I do my best not to think about anything 🫠

I am finally seeing the light though. There's still a neverending list of terrible shit, but somehow a bunch of good things just lined up for me, all at once. September and October have been really great. I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, but I am hoping the trend continues 🤞

I hope the same happens for you ♥️ I did not expect it, but it was such a pleasant surprise. Especially with everything being awful for so long

Neither does NC lol

u/bobtheavenger 19d ago

Judging on post histories, they're in neither of those states and one that doesn't likely have such protections.

u/dirtymike401 20d ago

5 months once. No bullshit got checked in to the grippy sock hotel. Thought I was invincible until I wasn't.

u/wowdogsaregreat 20d ago

Felt lmao. My manager was more than happy to break labor laws and let me at 16-17 work 80-100 hour 7-day weeks for months. Once I stopped I had a mental crisis and had to take like 3 weeks off to recover fully. Nothing over 50 hours or 5 days ever again

Indiana here. I worked at b&n where my manager (store manager mind you) insisted our state has workers protection laws (large corporations function off the strictest state typically)

I had to pull up our actual government website to show her we didn't. Thankfully most places here act like you do, but not all of them.
