I love what I do, and work+uni combined, I approach the 70h/week of time investment anyways.
Though it only works because I like investing the extra time - I might start hating it, if it becomes the normality.
I fear many people in differing fields would get overworked quickly, the birth-rate would drop, as well as overall GDP.
It’s called a wildcat strike
I've been hearing about a 4 day work week but haven't heard anyone talking about 7 days.
I picture country-wide strikes, even for non-union workers.
Suicide. I'm dead already if I'm working 7 days a week
Eat the rich
I invent the 10 day week.
With 7 working days, I think we might need a 13 day week.
Bingo!
Or just don't comply with it ?
I mean no one uses fucking iso8601 and they never get brutally murderd anywhere near often enough.
Good point, I should start murder more people who don't use iso8601.... It's about time!
Excuse me what, in Europe we are snuggling up with the idea of a 4 day work week
I join whatever new labor movement forms and sharpen my guillotine.
I stop working altogether.
For real. That's what happens. When I am in serious overload, I get kinda blocked and cannot achieve anything anymore.
But also on a global level, I think it would break down most workers quite soon.
I buy a fucking guillotine.
Buy stock in guillotine companies.
You short-sighted investors are piling in on guillotines, meanwhile I've been snatching up shares in pitchfork and torch companies with strong fundamentals for pennies on the dollar.
I’d think that you’d make more on the guillotines. The margins should be higher. No profits on torches.
The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don't need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.
Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?
My guillotines have DRM, non user serviceable parts and a mandatory service contract - cough - I mean you get free IoT and smartphone integration.
If you sharpen it youself, warranty is void.
I don’t know. I mean you can reuse a torch or you can make your own.
In this throwaway, instant satisfaction society? It's all about the price point. And the marketing.
That seems counterproductive.
Guillotine demand goes up, guillotine production company stocks go up, guillotine production owners become rich, guillotine production millionaires felled by their own designs.
Hmmn, maybe petardes would be a better choice.
I'll start a mobile sharpening business. Sell shovels to prospectors and all that.
Call in sick 3 days a week.
You think they'd be offering sick days?? I think you're bound for the camps if you can't keep up. Oh shit... This is starting to sound familiar...
Join the global strike that would inevitably happen.
Ain't nobody got time for a strike. I gotta feed my kids and pay my rent
you could always pirate your food from your local big box grocer.
"you wouldn't download an Asparagus."
Bruh a lot of us are out here with two jobs already working nine shifts a week. People are gonna do what they got to do.
The longest I ever did it was 5 weeks straight working 12 hour nights too. Everyone thought I'd quit, but I ran circles around them.
Everyone basically gets way less productive, especially with any physically strenuous activity. It's like you/your body knows full recovery is not an option. You don't get more done, you're just there when shit hits the fan.
I personally adjusted just fine. It is no different than slavery. All labor is technically wage slavery. I owned my own business before and after that job. Owning your own business is no different. The line between your life and your business is irrelevant when it is your own business, especially if you have employees.
I'm WFH with a pretty chill work day except I'm on standby 24/7 in case of something stupid happens at work. So not much would change for me, honestly.
murder most likely
Switch to a part time job.
By changing the global standard.
I basically already have a 168h workweek since I'm always on call.
Edit: no one should have to work this bullshit. I'll do it so you don't have to
Elaborate death traps for my enemies.
My first move would probably be to blow my brains out
Switch to freelance.
Figure out a way to live cheaply, and work for myself. At least if it's 7 days a week I'm doing it for me and maybe I can become successful enough to not have to work those 7 days a week at some point.
