Is is normal to work a 12 hour work week every day ?

My dad works 12 hours from 9pm to 8pm. Sometimes he doesn't get home til 10 o clock. It's freaking crazy ! His wife works hardly any hours from 11pm to 3 pm. Why would a boss make someone work this long ? Don't they know that he has family? It's an office job and office jobs are the worst.

    I'd say it's normal depending on the job.

    I work Monday to Friday 60 hrs a week the equates to 12hrs a day occasionally I work 5hrs on Saturday making 65hrs a week nut I like 10 minutes from work plus husband works about the same but he is self employed as a painter and decorator

      Ante meridiem, it actually means before noon.

        Besides since I left school I no longer feel the dire need to use Latin anymore as it is only the roman catholics that still feel obligated to use it!

          It's not about knowing Latin. Her point is don't make shit up when you're completely ignorant. Dumb cunt.

        Are you not aware that the person you are talking to knows everything and is always correct?

        Everyone here should feel ashamed for making him think dirty thoughts because it's not his responsibility what posts he chooses to look at.

    Maybe he hangs out at a strip club after work to avoid coming home to you.

    It would help if you knew what pm actually means: 9 pm to 8 pm is 23 hours and 11 pm to 3 pm is .... oh I can't be bothered working it out right now but it's a lot of hours.

    How old are you that you don't know with PM means?

      Clearly a typo. With.

      11pm to 11am is 12 hours, and then from 11am to 3pm is 4 hours.
      Op is clearly young enough to think that bosses really care about employees families and that office jobs are "the worst".
