Rookie numbers, in the US there's no limit. My company can legally give me a 28 hour shift, and if I worked in a red state they wouldn't be required to give me a single 30 minute break either
There's so many loopholes in American labor laws
I knew a guy who used to work at Amazon as a salaried coder. But on-call for 2 weeks every 6 weeks for the payment system of an AWS service in all of India. Every week on-call he'd get 20-40 pages and he has to respond within 15 minutes. In addition to regular working hours
Told me he would never get a full night's sleep during on-call and once never slept more than 2 hours straight 3 days in a row
Every state but like 7(? I know it's less than 10) has ABSOLUTELY NO requirement for breaks whatsoever.
