A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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.
I like that idea, only problem i have is picking who works which days. Like i want days off with my partner but if we are on opposite shifts we wont see each other.
I'm over 30, I don't want to work anymore, period. But I can't live off what I have or off the land, so to the grinder I go.
You got enough energy to be homeless?
True, being homeless looks exhausting.
Hard disagree.
Present your argument.
Dont overwork those under 30 to become tired at 30. Give everyone the same minimum work hours. Aka, 4/5 ( aka 24h work week )
If the work is meaningful and fairly paid, then it kind of makes sense that some young people might choose to go all out while they've got the exuberance of youth.
Honestly as someone under 30 I could accept this. Obviously universal 4 day week would be better, but if this would sell the idea to the boomers it would be worth it.
The boomers are old a lot older than 30 though, so it would need to be a 4 day week for everyone over 60. At that point it's barely useful anyways
Yeah but they don't have a hate boner for 30-40-50 year old like they do for "young people"
Oh, you get to keep your same yearly pay inflation adjusted, But you work one less day per week every two decades.
30h/week since 2024, I am never going back.
Instead of working, I am just playing Oblivion Remastered all day today.
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. :)
Great change is upon us, there is hope yet.
That's cool, I'm glad for you. Genuinely, I'm hoping someday that I can maneuver myself into a position like yours.
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
Well, I have some bad news for you... it gets worse.
I'm terms of working hours it could get better. You might end up doing 0 hours a week, because you'll be unemployed.
It doesn't have to! Or so I've heard. But it does seem to.
Somehow I get a similar energy like "young people's work week should be 6 days" /lh
jokes on us, most peoples workweeks here is 6 days.
and some unlucky fucks will be looking at 10, 12 hour days. thats before considering the hours stuck in a packed bus because transportation sucks.
