Usage of "all the time"

I am not sure if I know how to use "all the time" correctly. I have written two sentences below.

(1) Last week, most of the guests stayed at my birthday party all the time.

What I mean is they stayed there from start to finish.

(2) I work for ABC Company all the time.

What I mean is I always work for that company.

Can I use "all the time" in my sentences? Thanks a lot.

As shown.

ansonguy(2) I work for ABC Company. all the time.

'all the time' doesn't work here either.
