30h/week since 2024, I am never going back.
Instead of working, I am just playing Oblivion Remastered all day today.
I’m so happy for you!
They said through clenched teeth while white knuckeling their desk, waiting to get off work so they can go back to playing Oblivion Remastered
What do you do, if you don’t mind my asking?
Web development in North Germany, for a small agency. We mainly work with WordPress and Typo3, which is used by the government, clinics and other “bigger” institutions a lot here.
I actually like PHP (most people seem to hate it :D), so it’s a good job.
Yeah I’ve pretty much gotten used to it, whenever I hear about human-friendly working conditions, it’s never coming from the USA lol. I still hold out hope.
Happy for you regardless. :)
you no longer have that kind of energy because you have a 5 day work week.
Wait, so if I only worked four days a week I’d have the energy to work five days a week?
I work a four day workweek, but I also work 25% longer every workday than most people do.
I’m grateful for my extra day off, but I’m also tired every workday. And a lot of non workdays.
I’m pushing my boss for 4 tens right now, if I’m already there what’s two more hours? But most of my job is waiting for something to break (maintenance). I want 3 day weekends so badly.
“No man should have to work more than 40 hours per week!”
“Yeah, that seems pretty reasonable.”
“Women should be able to work for the same wages!”
“Of course. We should all have equal rights.”
“20 hours should be the new work week!”
“I don’t know, man. Seems pretty leftist. It’s not like we nearly doubled employment.”
Our grandparents earned enough as single earners to provide for their entire family and own a house.
Now 2 people work and they can barely pay rent on an apartment.
Its not hard to see why the right cries about the good old times, except somehow its the gays, and not the bourgeoisie that they believe are what caused the decline.
Look at the bright side!
At least the bourgeoisie can provide for their ENTIRE family now.
Oh and there are probably more bourgeoisie than back then.
My terrible idea is that the world move to an 8 day week. Everyone works (at most) 4 days on, 4 days off. School is 4 on, 4 off. Two alternating shifts. Its always the weekend for half of everyone and everything is always open. I guarantee a roomful of smart people will be able to tear this idea to shreds. We could invent cool new names for all the days of the week though.
Somehow I get a similar energy like “young people’s work week should be 6 days” /lh
