Why don’t people like landlords?

When you compare it to other things we do, spending 8-9 hours at work at least five days a week is asinine. Think of it this way: -I can take a transcontinental flight to Europe in 6-7 hours – I can play 36 holes of golf – I could drive from my hometown of Pittsburgh to Chicago or very close to it in that time – I could sit through three Major League Baseball games or three movies All of these are things that most people would agree take a long time, yet we spend that much time everyday at work and it’s normal. Let’s change this crap, or at least eliminate one day of work
Google wants nothing to do with the union and is trying to keep up the profitable barrier between contracted and direct employees. But the workers are on track to bring the tech behemoth to a bargaining table for the first time ever: https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/google-contractors-vote-to-unionize-17920684.php A return-to-office change prompted 40 workers to protest with an “unfair labor practice strike” — such strikes prevent employers from laying off workers. The union said in a statement that the costs of in-person work, from sudden relocation to child care, aren’t affordable for YouTube Music workers, who make as little as $19 an hour.

Two week notice & two weeks of sick time
I just got a new job I start in two and a half weeks. I almost never call out and I'm up to about two weeks of sick time that I lose when I leave the job. What would be the best course of action with it?

I’m Being Ungrateful To Most
So, every job I've had has been retail. Crap management, running around to stock, and dealing with “fire in their eyes” customers. anyways, i got a different job. as a housekeeper. much better pay. but, it is so boring..an 8:30 to 5 and I get my tasks done four hours before I'm even close to clocking out. today i even left early, my first week there. doing one wing which is eight rooms and then a common area. unless someone actually calls me out for a specific mess but i rarely see people either. i want to keep the job, definitely. but, i guess i just need to go slow as molasses or something.
So I work tomorrow at 1 to 5:15 and have to stop at 3 places in minot which is an 2 hr drive. And one of the clients is notoriously late at giving packages. But you get blamed for being late. And plus they expect you to be in minot like you're speeding but told not to speed. Then I'm supposed to return back to Bismarck before 5:30, drop off boxes, fill up car, and start the next shift at 5:30. But it takes about 2 hrs to get to minot and 2 hrs back. So once you're back, you're already late. And your next shift is supposed to be happening. Which is a new shift you haven't done before, so you're obviously going to take time on it, because they don't train in person, just by phone guidance. In the long run I feel like they're setting me up…
I started working as a cleaner for a major cleaning company in my city. I say major, because there are more than twenty and this one holds more stakes because they accept any job under any circumstances, they even accept when people ask to clean the garage area under their windows (even if it’s for free). You can only imagine how this looks for workers. A guy who started working when I did was already duped to work not only one shift, but TWO full shifts. Today he worked whole morning, and he spent whole afternoon cleaning the meat factory. He has a pace-maker and he mentioned this, yet he’s pulled to work demanding jobs such as cleaning out the attic, etc. He’s a good guy, but I immediately saw what they do – unless you object and stand your ground, you do more and more and more work until…
