Don’t get me wrong I hate work and can’t wait to quit, fuck the rat race. Not defending any corporations or corporate overlords here (or trying to say we don’t have it that bad) but whenever I see this meme it pisses me off. Seriously let’s do a ratio set. Two days is 48 hours, five days is 120 hours. That’s a work/chill ratio of 120/48. This can be simplified a lot with half division and can get us to 3.25/1.5 that’s not bad! Considering the work ratio is just under 50/50 of work and chill (exactly half would be 3.25/1.75). These posts I see label this ratio like it’s 10/1 and act upset as if it’s actually that. and I just don’t see it. Fuck work and all that’s attributed with it but don’t act like it’s all you are ever forced to do. Bring on the downvotes.
If we bring the 4 day work week we get a ratio of 96/72 which can be simplified to 3/2.25. Let’s be realistic in this day and age I don’t see a ratio working like that and still living comfortably. It makes sense you gotta work more than relax more unfortunately. I seriously just want the AI takeover to happen already and get rid of it all and have a UBI but until that happens we just gotta deal with it.
