A medical resident worked 207 hours of overtime in a month. His case highlights Japan’s continuing problem with karoshi - death by overwork.

I did 135 hour week once as a journalism intern. got fired because I didn’t do 140 (would walk to hotel, sleep 4 hours, wake up, walk back to field office - “wow,” you think, “what war was he covering?” and the answer is the war of an arts festival in northern england).
didn’t go back to journalism after that.

oh absolutely it was illegal, and I did it with full knowledge of it, and voluntarily, for a stipend instead of pay.
just no point in being litigious when I’m just as happy to have a good story out of it.
I hope you’re in a less shitty environment now, whatever field that may be in
