Not recommended
Generally speaking, one should not work nine days in a row. And when one does, it is advisable not to work in a short staffed environment. But, if in a short staffed enviroment, it is best not to be training new staff at a proportion less than two old staff per one new staff. However, if training of new staff is occuring, most would suggest not to volunteer to work overtime two consecutive days in a row … especially at the end of a nine day stretch while training new staff in an already short staffed environment.
But since when do I take my own advice?
Wow, it sounds like you’re pretty busy there, girlie. Nine days plus 2? Yech. I can barely stand working 40 hours in 5 days! Honestly I think the maximum hours/day for full time should be 6 hours. Then working 5 days wouldn’t be so hard. I mean, you’re only awake for like 13 hours a day, so why spend more than half of that time working?? Talk about wasting your life away. For those people who like what they do, it’s not so bad… but I would say over 50% of the population is NOT doing what they love. They’re doing what they have to do.
