| KujikawaRising 09/27/18 3:39:03 PM #91 | Obellisk posted... can I ask, what do you do for a living? Government office associate. My #1 job duty is maintaining the documents in a SharePoint site - just the documents, mind you. This involves a lot of monotonous scanning (I've scanned 80,000 or so in the last 4 years) and following strict protocols to sort them. Trust me when I say this: It's not easy to learn, but once you master it, it's brainless. Duty #2 is processing paperwork for Medicaid and the redundancy there leads to mistakes eventually because it can be hard to recall whether you've done one specific step for case #17 or whether you did it for 14, 15, and 16. Because I am focusing so much on this scanning, my skills are rotting. I feel like a worthless cog in a jalopy because I have asked for new regular duties for years - yes, plural - and gotten nothing. And while I do want to perhaps get a new job, I like the people and location here too much, plus I've only been a State employee for a little over three months (was a contractor before). And due to that and my medical situation finally being stable, I am moving out come December so it's not the right time for a change. The redundancy of processing paperwork, scanning two feet of paper a week, and doing the same things causes severe burnout, which necessitates time off that I can't afford to take right now due to the cruelty of having to wait six total months before vacation time unlocks. I would be in a better place if I could take an extremely necessary 4-day weekend, but nooo.... --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |

What about jobs that operate week round? Food industry, retail, emergency, etc. Hire more people. Don't give CEOs bonuses. Close on Sundays (chosen because that's "traditional" - this excludes emergency services). There are ways. And they can work more than 34 but will get paid time and a half for the extra. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |

I don't get what's funny or pathetic about enjoying something monotonous more if you're doing less of it. I am bored and exhausted way more now and my productivity is lower. Do you not understand the human psyche? FFnut posted... So you're going to get people to think freely by making certain modes of thought illegal? Actually, I'm abolishing political machines that are telling people what to believe, thus forcing them to think for themselves and perhaps forming factions - ones not bound by an "institution" but rather just groups of like-minded folks. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |

| KujikawaRising 09/27/18 12:40:46 PM #32 | SBell, what were the results of your last employee engagement survey? Were employees engaged, happy, and committed to their employment at your business? Given your attitude, I doubt it. You do not understand why because of your dated line of thinking. You lack understanding of your employees and instead try to beat them into cogs in a machine, thus making them unhappy and far more likely to want to get the hell out of there. Those feelings have negative effects on their work. I guarantee you if you made it 34 hours a week without reducing overall pay, you'll be able to retain your star employees. They'll be like "Wow. I'm getting paid this much, I get three days off a week, and I have a job I like? This is a dream." A more progressive, empathetic attitude will help your business succeed more. Your employees will be much more responsive to you, overall happier, and thus far more productive. Trust me. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |

Survivor is just so, so much better. It's not without it's problems however. This new F4 twist in Survivor is one of the worst I've seen the show implement, and it's unfortunately looking like it will stay. Yeah, I hate that twist so much. It takes away the crux of the game, which is voting people out. The way to earn your spot in the end is to convince the others to take you. Always has been. Also, after showing my dad AUS2017... Probst is so insufferable these days. Jonathan LaPaglia is strongly preferable to current Probst. It's a jarring change to go from someone more understated and reminiscent of a pre-ego trip Probst to... ego-trip Probst. Big Brother is okay and all but Survivor is so much better-produced that it's startling at times. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |

| KujikawaRising 09/27/18 12:24:15 PM #24 | Obellisk posted... Are you implying that there is 8 hours of bullshit that happens on a weekly basis? There is. Simply put, working 40 hours across five days a week is too much. Since going from 35 to 40 hours, I have noticed a significant drop in my productivity and a sharp increase in feelings of exhaustion and boredom - I no longer have any desire to work my very best, but rather just enough to keep my job. Back when I was at 30 hours, I worked like mad. At 35, that was still true and I got more done. But once I hit 40, I started getting about 25-28 hours of work done at the same pace I was at 30. Why do you think that is? The thought that "more hours means you work more" is absurd. People aren't meant to keep their nose to the grindstone for so long. Without proper recuperation, recreation, and relaxation, it drops their productivity, reduces happiness, and makes them less healthy both mentally and physically. It's scientifically proven that Europeans are happier and healthier than Americans because they work less - and yet, they get more done. They also drink alcohol as part of a meal rather than to get drunk because life sucks. They're less reliant on caffeine. And their countries have better economies, too. Why do you think that might be? If you reduced to 34 hours a week without reducing pay, your employees would be happier, healthier, more productive, and loyal to you. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |

| KujikawaRising 09/27/18 11:17:47 AM #5 | LOL, your misinformation is ridiculous. You do realize that making people work 40 hours means they get LESS done than they would at 34 hours, right? You do realize that by saying your employees should "be happy to have a job" means you don't give a shit about their happiness and well-being, right?

| KujikawaRising 09/27/18 10:57:54 AM #1 | My three (for the USA) are: 1. Require all hospitals, clinics, and medical providers to become non-profit within a period of two and a half to three years or face heavy taxes that would evaporate all profited income and then some. This would prevent hospitals from trying to shortchange people from necessary procedures for sustenance of life - they would merely need to cover the operating costs and those alone. This would help resolve many people's financial issues, increase access to good health, and improve the quality of life for those with illnesses. 2. Mandate a four-day work week with the same overall pay despite a drop to 34 hours (8.5 hour-days), which includes a built-in 30 minute lunch. This would improve productivity, reduce accidents, make employees happier, and improve the economy as people would be able to have more time to do the things they want to do. A small increase in pay would further help bolster the economy. 3. Abolish political partisanship outright, effective immediately, to eventually allow for free thinking and remove the toxicity of the current political climate. Elections would have a primary on a single day based on the popular vote with the top three advancing; the final Presidential Election would use the Electoral College with Electoral Votes - figurative ones, as electors would be a thing of the past - being split up based on popular vote for all states with 10+. Smaller totals would be winner-take-all, therefore meaning that every state matters. By removing partisanship from elections, candidates will have to stand for their own beliefs, not those of a phantom party, and people's intelligence would improve if they had to learn to think for themselves. I think these three things would fix the biggest cultural problems in America. What would you do for your country? --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. |
