Would you work 18 hours days Mon-Thurs if you got 3 day weekends every week, double the vacation days, and a raise?

Travel time not included. Only 3 breaks: two 15 minute and one 30 minute.

My job is 12 hours only 3 days a week. I usually come in a 4th day to get 40 hours total.

That is 72 hours a week .

So working 18 hours a day does not include commute and lunch right? We'd be talking about less than a few hours a sleep, no more than 5 hours? 4 or less since you also have to get ready in the morning?
The 3 day weekend wouldn't really be a good trade off as I would have to use that time for other responsibilities I could not do during the week in addition to catching up on sleep.
I would also assume that to save time during the week I would likely HAVE to mostly eat out which would really put a dent in my finances... So I'm not sure how much of a net gain from the raise I would get.
The only gain from this would be double vacation days.
I think I would pass on this just to save myself some sanity. Then I wouldn't need those extra vacation days to destress myself.

Hell yeah!

No. No. Noooooo

Hell no. The benefits wouldn't be nearly enough to make up for the cost in stress and exhaustion.

No. The extra free time would probably be used to repair the damage and abuse I'd put on my body doing 18 hour Monday-Thursdays.

No way I used to work like that between two jobs. It's a living hell.

I average 14 hours work days Monday - Friday not counting commute or 30 break so I'd be down especially if I could come in at 10am

no
But dont trust me, you can test this yourself, get 4.5 hours sleep and stay up all day. Do this for 2 weeks. Tell me (don't) how you feel after wards.
