There’s enough people and money in the world that everyone could take 6 months off and we’d still maintain 90s levels of productivity.
I’d be fine with that.

If no one works summer how will Waffle House stay open
When people say "no one works" they always still want some people to work.
I'm more for mandatory winter sleep.
Just implement both and let people choose between them.
This or 4 day work weeks. One or the other, or I'll do nothing and just accept it.
4 day work weeks or 52 vacation days per year as a minimum. You can either take one day a week and only work 4 days each week, or save them up and take a 10 week vacation.
One thing I miss about working at Amazon was not only the 4 day work weeks, but the fact that they handed out PTO so generously that you could literally call off one day every single week (or sleep in and come in late every single day, which is what I did), and it was absolutely fine.
But unfortunately I had to leave cause I got tired of the thermostat being set to 83°F, and the management who wouldn't lift a finger for anybody. Still, not the worst place in the world to work. You can just put on your headphones, load up a playlist of podcasts, and zone out for your entire shift. Not having to go through an interview process is nice too. Just show up, take a picture, spit on a sponge (they don't drug test for weed), and you're hired.
Maybe if there were some way to organize and make demands against the employer.
Who should tell the farm workers?
Farmwork goes in seasons
You don’t say?!! Is summer an important farming season?
Depends where you are and what you're farming. Planting(in the spring) and harvesting(in the fall) are usually the most intensive parts of the year for farm work so actually a lot of times summer is slower for farm work (relative to spring and fall)
Who should tell the farm workers?
Let the migrant labor let them know, they'll keep the farm going while they're out for an extra 10% for the month.
Wait, The CALLED ICE?
I feel this so much. I just want to have a few consecutive months off in a row and then I’ll be good to go for the rest of the year
Nah dawg.
We're all going to work until we're so old that when we retire we don't get to enjoy what's left of our lives. Instead we'll get to experience non-stop health problems, hospital visits, surgeries, daily pill schedules you can't skip or you die, and general exhaustion.
Literally happening to both my parents exactly like this.
And that's if you even make it to retirement, which I've personally witnessed a few people not do.
It's a scam y'all. Dipshits floating around on yachts while we die working. Wanna fix it all? Gotta get together, hold hands, and have a general strike until our demands are met. Totally possible, but not going to happen.
The Economy* demands that you sacrifice yourself.
*Really the rich parasites demand it.
I don't expect to retire.
I'll probably be found at my desk on a Monday, not even first thing, but like, at 11:45, after dying there sometime Friday afternoon, and people just thought I was "working late" and left for the weekend, while I'm a literal corpse.
Whatever. I'm over it. I won't have any fucks left to give when that happens because I won't be alive to give any fucks.
I worry that even if everything was right in my life it still wouldn't be enough. Passion has become so rare.
Gotta get together
This is it. This is literally the secret behind which Utopia is sealed. There are so, so many decent, empathetic humans that we could easily banish the narcissist, malevolent dipshits that make earth hell from our society.
Problem: even "good" humans have their flaws baked into their genes and brains, we are far too easily swept up into a a "us vs. them" dynamic. The only way of fixing this is to manually control your emotional behaviour and correct yourself constantly. Don‘t exhaust yourself with that, but try to remember what you really value before becoming a puppet for people with bad interests.
Corporate: not a chance in hell. You’re lucky you get annual leave at all, if it wasn’t mandated by law you’d never get that either.
Haha, nah, annual leave isn't required by law in my country...
Hot take: tons of office jobs are super reasonable. Small to mid sized companies that don't do anything particularly exciting, where you can find a position where you play an important role in the company but someone else can take on the work you normally do when needed, or the work you do only needs to be done at certain times of the year. You can talk directly to the owner, or managers have leeway to handle employees schedules without a ton of oversight.
Talk to whoever you need to. Explain how time off is more important to you than pay, and how the company will still do well when you take extended time off. It goes 1 of 3 ways. They agree immediately - win. They want proof that your idea will work - so prove it will work, then win. Or they outright refuse or fire you, in which case you find somewhere else to work and try again until you win.
Yeah idk what jobs you’re talking about…every time I see posts from people complaining (rightfully) about the office environment it’s from big companies.
Small to mid: small company , small salary. And like…tiny progression opportunities lol. I genuinely don’t see how these would be better at all than corpos, bc a lot of small companies try to cram multiple jobs into one too bc they usually can’t afford to hire as many people as they’d like. Rare companies like what you described do exist though, just…v rare
I'd be willing to work 14 hours a week voluntarily if i didn't have other responsibilities.
Yep, this is the great adjustment america needs.
