    that is impossible. no one can give more than 100%

    if your contract says 8h work per weekday and you work for 8h 48m you gave 110%

      I’m almost certain this is actually a quote from the Simpsons?

      When Mr burns buys a baseball team and he’s hypnotising them to make them better. They all monotonously chant back what ever he says, except when he says “I will give 110%” they say the line from the OP.

      Also redefining the 100% as 100% of what is sustainable longterm you can probably react 130% for a short burst.
