Some 12h days and even longer I’ve done have been alright. But that’s with +50% and after two hours +100% overtime pay and it wasn’t as a rule but rather an exception for a specific week
That sounds horrifc tbh. For me the 12h+ shifts were just the work day continuing past the normal 8 hours and usually into the evening. Depending on the specific work pretty tiring but honestly not so bad. At least when you know it’s temporary, the weather isn’t too bad and if it doesn’t extend so much that you’ll be lacking sleep.

I worked 12h alternating day/night shifts on an irregular schedule for 4.5 years…
I don’t recommend it

Oh yeah, it was shit.
I manned an internal IT helpdesk with 24/7 coverage for a global company.
This included holidays as well.
