One less hour to do enough math to see it’s two hours too.
That’s how the capitalists getcha. Back in granddads day, they just made sure you lost enough fingers in the machinery to keep from counting. Nowadays they gotta keep you too busy to realize they stole two hours instead of one.
That’s been my experience as well, or even way worse. We should have more unions.
I do 6pm-6am 5 days a week
Which was an improvement from my previous position of starting at 12am-4amish going to 9am-2pmish 6 days a week.
Damn. Why do you work this way? Don’t you have regulations and stuff?
In Austria I already work 8-4 and we are currently talking about reducing it to 8-3.
The scary part is that this doesn’t even sound bad to me anymore.
Yeah, this has me feeling like that one meme “you guys are exploring the world?”
This is why I love my partner. She helps bring me back to the ‘it may not be the ideal world but it’s our world’ sentiment.
I dunno…I sit more than 9-5.
At the desk tho?
But seriously, try to stand up for at least a min every hour.
It’s true I move around to get water and food and take a walk a lunch but the day lasts longer than 9-5.
A standing desk is an amazing investment. Your back and legs will thank you
To be fair, you don’t have to sit around watching Netflix
While true, sitting around watching Netflix has the advantage that it takes none of the nonexistent energy remaining after a full day of work + chores + you only get two hours before bed.
When the alternative is man Vs nature in a constant struggle to avoid violent or hungry death, or even worse - slavery, then we gotta count our blessings. I’m also greatful for every day I’m not plowing cotton fields with my hands or operating machinery in a factory.
There it is, the good ol’ false dilemma
This is undoubtedly the more healthy attitude

How do you feel about unions?
Why should lazy people get the same pay as me when I work so hard? /s
I had a friend that shifted super libertarian and refused to join a union because of this. We are no longer friends.
God yes me too. I didn’t even realize until I came out of university. A 9-5 job is a 9-5:30 job over here (we have a mandatory lunch break of at least 30 minutes if you work more than 6 hours a day, 45 if more than 9). Now calculate in the commute and if you’re lucky you’re at a 8:15-6:15 job.
Also if everyone is 9 to 5, how does anyone do any errands if they close at the same time they do?
Not to mention schools release at like 2:30. Need your kid taken care of after that? It’ll be a few hundred $/mo for an after-school program. Sorry working parents.
Well, personally I’ve found that to be a bit of a problem, so for some of us it is that we don’t, unless we take like half a day off.
Work is a scam, take what you need and burn your bosses.
damn when did everyone go full doomer?
They must have walked out their front doors.
Two weeks?? Longest vacation I’ve been on in the past 20+ years was eight days, with the eighth day being unintentional due to an issue with the airlines.
Ever been sick? Vacation.
Mine’s 22 days. And that wasn’t all my vacation for the year either, only most of it.
If you understand the way things are right now is broken, you should understand that you ALWAYS have a choice to stop being cynical, fight for your freedom and fight for what’s right.
I wasn’t ONLY talking about reddit in this post a while back. https://lemmy.world/post/858027
Choose to be creative. Choose to be sincere. Choose to be a human again.
Unfortunately I choose to eat
Sometimes I tidy the house during the week so I can do nothing on the weekends! It’s a miraculous discovery that gives life meaning!
Good Lord.
Bunch of depressed doomer bullshit from a bunch of people I hope are talking to a therapist.
I get four weeks, plus about 12 public holidays.
Sucks to be you.
6 weeks here, plus public holidays
2 weeks only? should change the headlines to “americans were made”
