On Brazil we are fighting to get a week with four-day workweek, but a man can only dream...
I do a three day work week. I still show up for 5 days though.
Yeah I'd say I Lemmy for about 16 hours a week
All those technical advances yet the workload ever increases.
while your productivity is more important to the owner class than your well being (which dead last on their list of priorities), it still isn't as important as your obedience and abject submissiveness. they just don't care if you would do better work if there were less of it. they'd rather you be too stressed and exhausted to think about pursuing other jobs, let alone have any time for it
Of course they care about my well being …there are posters like everywhere telling me that they do.
If only you could sue your employer for false advertising.
Yes, so that you feel shame that you're stressed, so you don't talk to anyone else about it. It's both a control and cheap union busting tactic.
Well, why not. In my country 40% of the workforce works 32 hours or less. It's not always financially attractive to work full time, for instance if you have children at home you can combine part time work with your partner and avoid paying high childcare bills.
If only people voted for it instead of "bUt BuT mIgRaNtS 😭😭😭". But the majority is too easily controlled by the wealthy...
In most places there's no four day workweek party. That's half the reason Western countries are in this mess.
Oh shit! This was on the ballot somewhere? Show me! Where was the 4-day work week anywhere on anyone's platform?
Cause it sounds like you fell for vague hope pushing. I think Sanders might've talked about the importance of that, but that's not an actual policy in any platform I've seen.
!remindme 30 years
Yes, but then they'll only pay you for 4 days...and you'll probably lose any benefits you had...and things will continue to get more expensive.
