Early in my career, I picked up as much overtime as I could at the hospital. I worked 13 days in a row with three of the those days being 12 hour shifts. My coworkers informed that I was a real bitch after day 7 and it would be better for all of us if I didn't work more than seven days in a row.

I took their words to heart. There's working hard to get ahead and then there is killing yourself and making everyone around you miserable.

You hospital workers have insane schedules! All of you! I've heard of resident doctors working 36 hour shifts. How do they even function?

I have a friend who is a nurse and he takes all the worst shifts because they pay the best. He doesn't have a family, so it only impacts him, and he's living a FIRE lifestyle (which he's hella good at). But he lost a ton of weight and was as white as a vampire last time I saw him because he never sees the sun. That's taking it a bit too far IMO. But I'm sure he'll be the one laughing when he retires with a paid off house and no debt in a few years.
