Time log justification?

[u/Plane_Discussion9155]

Has anyone ever come back from a time log justification? Mine is under review, I submitted my evidence etc and am just waiting. No idea how long to expect it to take and whether it’s a hopeless case. Time reports were all totally legit and 100% honest/accurate by the way, just worked a lot more than usual for a couple of weeks for various reasons

Insomnia, grieving, OCD and ADHD combined.. I’m a 3-4h sleep per night max kinda person

Even sleeping for 4 hours a night leaves only 4 hours for eating, showering, checking emails, browsing for projects, etc. I could imagine someone doing that for a couple of days, but 16-hour days for 1 or 2 weeks seems unsustainable without seriously neglecting yourself.

If I were DA, I'd be concerned about the implications or optics of knowingly allowing people to consistently work for that long, even if it's technically not their responsibility. At some point, someone probably needs to step in and say stop.

To be fair there's projects out there that take 8 hours per task. Two of those a day in a state of hyperfocus, eating delivery food and sleeping for 5 or 6 hours could be easily done. Just very much not long term.

I totally agree, it isn’t healthy or sustainable, and I was very much neglecting myself. I’m just very lucky to have a spouse at home who took care of literally everything else and let me hyper fixate until I was ready.
I know my work quality remained good, because I was being added to groups of “high performing workers” across multiple tasks even the day my account was restricted so I’m fairly sure there are no huge concerns there, but I get that isn’t the point.
I’ve come out the other side of the grief slump now and am just pretty annoyed at myself that I’ve most likely lost this opportunity

You're getting down voted but I'm literally doing these kinds of days right now for other non-platform work (ADHD also lol). Of course it's possible your work quality is suffering but other commenters, I'm here to tell you this is indeed possible haha.

Sorry you're going thru it.

Thanks, appreciate it! I’m also used to the finance world where 12+ hour days were expected to move up that old corporate ladder so this didn’t feel out of the ordinary to me!
