Obviously for privacy/security reasons I won't go into exactly what I do, but it's a predominantly office-based job. I'm contracted to 45 hours a week, but when you factor in easily starts/late finishes and many 'working lunches', that's more realistically around 48/49 hours a week. The bosses are usually fine and relaxed to the odd "early-dart" e.t.c if you need one - so what you do extra is something you can make up somewhere else.
The job I do is fine. I don't mind it. It's just certain individuals within the company irritate me. Fortunately due to the pandemic, one positive I've taken from it all is that the majority of them are working from home. Sadly, the colleague who causes me most grief is one of the few, like myself, who have no choice but to be there.
In terms of my longest working day - I'm probably guessing close to 12 hours. I recall one particular day I had to be in for 7am due to the build-up of workload. My starting time is 8am. I remember getting in around 6:40/45am and it was already gone 6pm when I decided "enough is enough" to close the computer down. I chatted with the few remaining colleagues left in the warehouse at the time after that.
