You could be distinguished like this guy in a UK Rail Accident report.
The driver was on his 59th hour of work that week in the final hours of his 12-hour night shift. Let's not encourage overworking, in most jobs you won't be that much more productive anyway, and in others you run the risk of making potentially fatal mistakes. (Luckily he made it out fine.)
This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.
IIRC studies have shown that overall output is highest for many jobs at about a 4 day workweek. By the 5th day people tend to just fuck around more while on the clock
For white collar jobs that is pretty much true. With a few exceptions, I cannot force more than that out of myself and still feel fine afterwards.
