rexcrk 05/05/21 8:34:06 AM #1:	I know its supposed to be eight hours sleep, eight hours work, eight hours of your own time which would be great in theory, but that doesnt take into account getting ready time and commuting time and end of day time. Or unpaid lunch breaks. I feel like when all is said and done, I get four to maybe four and a half hours of true time for myself a day (except on my one day off obviously and my Sunday half-days). Thats just not enough. It would be one thing if I was done working completely in like five years, but Im in my mid-30s with only an associates degree and my only work experience is working at a grocery store. Im going to be working for a very. long. time. And yes, I know that there are some people who have to work even longer than eight hours a day, and thats not right either (unless they genuinely love what they do) but that shouldnt be a thing at all. --- Bah weep grannah weep ni ni bon <cite>rexcrk posted [p:953575592] in The "...

Zachnorn 05/05/21 12:50:14 PM #7:	I'd be okay with a 10 hour day working 4 days per week. That cuts commuting and getting ready time dramatically. But what we really need is to have the work week cut to 30 hours.

Yellow 05/05/21 7:05:39 PM #28:	I would personally be much happier with a 32 hour work week. I have many side projects I'd like to work on and one extra day off is really good for the mental health. Other countries do it because those countries are much less serious about maximizing profits. I will probably move to one of those countries, where, tragically, rich people are taxed most of their money, so they tragically have less political influence. Obviously you can't just sit on welfare all day because you're lazy, I don't support that. But yeah you are all fucked in eight different ways. --- why am I even here <cite>Yellow posted [p:953597357] in The "...
