We need 3-4 day weekends with the same pay as a normal 40 hour work week.

Seriously, it would not only be better for our health, it would help us work more efficiently! I saw Finland is proposing a 4 day 24 hour work week and it's inspiring. What do you think?

So is this it, this is life as we know it until the earth explodes?

Is it me or has it become painfully obvious that for almost everyone life is about eat, sleep, work, die? I don't mean that cliché, I mean thats how the world is, has been, and is going to continue to be long after we're gone. The futility of expecting a different kind of 'system' is just that, futile. Trudging through the whole born, school, work, retire, die process with no end in the forseable and distant future. Your kids, your kids kids, they're kids… how many generations into this industrialized bullshit are we now? We're just going to try to keep propagating the same ideas, thoughts, reasons, etc etc over and over like an endless loop. I don't think the world can change, ever. There's nothing that would force it. Thoughts?

I hate how my adult life is waiting to go home in the afternoon or waiting for the weekend.

I get up at 5am and get to work by 7:30am. Most of my day I'm waiting to go home at 4pm or I'm waiting for Friday to show up. It pisses me off this is how most of my adult life is. After I get done with masturbating, making dinner, making lunch, I only have about 4 hours to myself.

I think I’m about to lose my mind

Rant post. This can’t be all there is. Every day it’s the same fucking thing. Work. Half the time after work I’m too damn tired to do anything but watch TV. I have to force myself to do my hobbies sometimes. On the weekends I’m mostly sleeping, catching up on all the chores I didn’t deal with throughout the week and maybe seeing my friends. My job isn’t even that bad. I work from home 9 hours a day with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. Am I paid enough to move out of my parents place? Hell no. I work for a mortgage company and some of these people pay a damn mortgage for a 4 bedroom home that’s half the price of a studio apartment where I live. But even if I did what’s the point? Just to struggle even more with bills and have no money to just…

Google’s former HR chief says your boss wants to “boil you slowly like a frog” to get you back in the office….and it will be terrible for morale and productivity

This is on the Finance feed at Yahoo this morning, from (of all places) Fortune magazine: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-former-hr-chief-says-144621167.html Google’s former HR chief says your boss wants to boil you slowly like a frog to get you back in the office, and it will be terrible for morale and productivity. “The purpose of the ‘boil the frog method’ [is] to do it subtly and thereby avoid difficult questions and conflict,” Bock told Fortune. “But that’s not only bad for trust and morale, it’s also not the best thing for employees or for the company.” […] But Bock says that executives are reluctant to accept permanent work-from-home models. This could be due to the large investment that companies make when buying luxury offices. But it could also have to do with management itself. “Most executives have been working in offices for 20 to 30 years, so it’s comfortable for them. It’s the environment…
