Do you spend all your time working?

[OLDnightmare]

I’ve been doing long hours at work for at least a year including evening and weekend work. Haven’t taken many breaks due to the pandemic. I feel run down and exhausted. Haven’t seen many friends or family. Haven’t really spent much time on myself. I don’t even have kids. Is this normal? I feel like I’ve lost myself and my way.

(apologies for the terrible typos)

No I work more like 60-70 hours but I mean the gap between jobs that offer fixed hours and what I earn in a year is too big. Not a stealth boast. If I took a different (salaried) job I'd just do similar hours - maybe 50 ( best case) for less than half the pay. & so it's not like going "part time" would work either. It's golden handcuffs and I'm the main earner so not much choice.

I think that there needs to be a proper limit on hours worked even for salaried jobs. Even before brexit most corporate contracts made people waive the EU max of 48h/ wk
