Ask Lemmy

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.

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.

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.

Switch to freelance.

murder most likely

Join the global strike that would inevitably happen.

My first move would probably be to blow my brains out

Switch to a part time job.

Call in sick 3 days a week.

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

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.

By changing the global standard.

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.

I join whatever new labor movement forms and sharpen my guillotine.

Elaborate death traps for my enemies.

I buy a fucking guillotine.
