Doesn’t stop certain big tech companies from building giant campuses with cafeterias and housing so that employees can literally live, eat, and sleep at work.
Imagine if they let us work from home instead. I already live, eat, and sleep at work, and it doesn’t cost my company a dime! In fact I pay for all of it!
What if we all just didn’t go in? They gonna fire everyone?
And they can sell the office too (good luck lmao), we are doing the company a service 😌
What if we all just didn’t go in? They gonna fire everyone?
That is called a strike and why they work
If not for labor unions we would still be working 12+ hour days. The 8 hour workday and the weekend is all thanks to the courageous efforts of labor advocates.
Yep, 16 hour workdays were not uncommon historically (there’s a reason non-US countries remember May Day).
If you search up 16 hour workdays now, you’ll depressingly find people framing it in a positive light. Capitalism is trying to make workaholism the norm and required to survive.
And now kids in Arkansas get to experience the grind.
And this is why you support your labour unions.
Dudes wearing Oakley’s and Fox Racing hats would be saying they’re better than you because you don’t work 22 hour days.

I don’t understand that culture. You get looked down upon if you say something and when I said we need at least 100k yearly in America, they laugh as it too much for them. We need more confidence as workers to demand more and unions.
I did 24hr shifts a minimum of two days per week. Most times I did three days per week with 24hrs of OT. I did that from 2000-2017.
Now I do simple 4 x 10hr days.
What job and country? I need to stay far far away from that
Paramedic, U S. Most EMS and fire departments run 24hr shifts. It’s a choice.
Why would you ever do that? And allow it to happen for 17 years???
Good question. I did enjoy my work 90% of the time. I gave up emergency work when I turned 50. Now I do “uber” ambulance.
Wtf is uber ambulance?
And thanks for your service.
Ha! “Uber” ambulance is non-emergency transport. We take patients that are at rehabilitation facilities and bring them to medical appointments.
Haha, as if there was not a push for people to work more around the clock than ever.
https://www.powernapcomic.com/ deals with a fictional world where a drug makes this corporate dystopia possible but a small percentage of people cannot take the drug making them effectively disabled from a normal worker perspective.
Congratulations on having the world’s most depressing shower thought.
Investment bankers would like a word (but they probably don’t have time).
Healthcare workers and mental health workers already are doing 12 and 16 hour days.
Ever heard of 9-9-6?

9-9, 6 days a week
thats pretty common in Japan right?
China, not that Japan’s work culture is much better though
That sounds like hell
that happens already sometimes lol
