The 8 hour workday is terrible for both physical and mental health. I dread having to wake up every morning knowing I’m going to be wasting 8 hours of my life for abysmal compensation. And if you think about it, the 8 hour work day is more like a 10 hour workday with commute, lunch, and time spent getting ready for work. It’s exhausting and something needs to change soon because it’s detrimental to everyone.
