“8 hours work, 8 hours recreation, 8 hours rest” is a scam. In reality during the workweek you get about 4-5 hours to yourself each day.

7-9 AM: Wake up, get dressed FOR WORK (wageslave outfit), travel to work. As we can see the entire morning “recreation” time is wasted on work. The only thing you do for yourself here is eat.
9-17: Work, possibly even extra time (used to be more common before quiet quitting).
17-18: Travel back from work. change out of work outfit
18-22: Free time, in which you're “free” to do such things as dry clean your work uniform, get groceries to live (theoretically your 8hrs invested in work should have already gotten you sustenance, without this extra time investment). This is only 4 hours, plus maybe the next hour.
22-23: Get ready for sleep for another day in the wagie cage.
23-7: At least the masters leave your sleep alone, they need their drones to be productive.

As you can see, most of a wageslave's life in fact revolves around work.
