I work like tops 20ish a week and I'm chilling

Yea, lets me work 80 hours a week at 2 jobs at 7.25 per hour and bring home less than someone working 40 hours a week at 15 per hour. No excuses for lack of money.

That isnt my situation but it is BS to think thats all you need to do is work more hours.

Yeah 80 hours a weeks so we can abandon our family while you make a billionaire super richer. Republicans have the best logic I swear

that's still potentially less than 30k. plus, you know, all the times there just aren't 80 hours available. and also, you know, the whole dead by 50 thing.

Simple solution: Find a better paying job.

not everyone can work 80 hours a week. they might have kids or something. or maybe their job doesnt allow for 80-hour work weeks. in that case, i guess you could get a 2nd job.

"Help i can't afford my debt and bills."
"sounds like an income problem get a new job"
"but i work 2 jobs already"
"work 3. also sell your blood and plasma and only buy lentils. also sell all your stuff, and find housing thats only 15% of your budget."
"but"
"also cancel all your entertainment, dont EVER buy anything. in fact, just die. its cheaper than living. I'm smart."

how dumb do you have to be to work 80 hours a week? lmao

If you work 80 hour weeks you need to go home and revaluate your life, that is slave labor.

I'm home for the other ~85 hours of the week. That's plenty of time to rest.

Whose shitty alt is this?

not that it will ever happen but it'd be super great, just super great if society would just pull its head out of its ass and realize that more hours =/= more work done. what it really = the same amount of work done in more time

already been tested in a few countries and the benefits are insane. people with more free time are more active, more productive, more healthy and generally happier. seems like a common sense thing until the capitalists come marching in to bury any notion that anyone should be enjoying life at all

work! work! work! all you're good for is work and you should be happy to work and the more you work the better a person you are.

Well you do that, and I will keep enjoying my 32 hour work week then enjoy my time off even more with plenty of money to spend if I choose to.

This is mostly job dependent for the most part. For certain office jobs where you just sit on your ass 50% of your 80hr work week its the case. But not something like truck driving where the longer that trucks moving, the more money you and the company are making.

yeah, that's true. it isn't the case for every workplace.
