This is why I refuse to work first shift and don't have weekends off.

I need to be able to access things like the fucking bank and any govt service whatsoever.

Honestly imo there's no reason these services aren't 24/7. They are necessary for modern living and therefore shouldn't be constrained due to shift schedule.

If people are working during the night then all essential services should be open 24/7

Anyone who works an office job should be able to set their own hours. I choose 6:30-2:30. I can still hit up local shops after. My colleague chooses 10-8 and shops before work. There's no reason we can't make this work.

I'm thankful I can do this. My employer measures performance based on what we actually do, not how long we work for.

I'm usually at work 10 AM to 6:30 PM (which helps avoid peak hour traffic), but I can come in and/or leave earlier or later and it'd be fine. I work from home two days a week, too.

The company would have to hire more shitty middle managers to micro manage you during a wider amount of hours, we can't have that.

This is exactly why we should have 4 day work weeks. Especially when you replace "shop" with "doctor's office"

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago

Doctor? Why would employers want you to see a doctor? If you make it to retirement age they have to pay that out and miss out on a cheaper replacement!

I genuinely think working 12 hrs 3 days a week is the key to happiness in life.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Yeah working 12 hour shifts 2 days on, 2 days off, and alternating weekends was always my favorite schedule. Weekdays off to do important things, fat overtime checks every other week, and taking a one week vacation using only 2 vacation days was awesome.

And you close on weekends

That's always been a hilarious part of French culture to me. Many of their cafes and sandwich shops are closed for lunch so their employees can go home to eat.

In what cafes and sandwich shop do you go to? I've never seen one that was closed during launch hours.

It's getting rarer but there is some that only open in launch hours instead of the whole afternoon, restaurant can have some specific services hours. (And some cafes stop serving drinks while serving food.)

French culture is to eat at specific hours, so it would be almost impossible to serve food only outside those.

Just small cafes around the park in Clermont-Ferrand. Strolling through the park at noon on a Saturday was the worst time to get hungry or need a drink.
