I notice we still say shit like “I don't want to work 9-5” or “The dream is to stop working 9-5”. I have been out of college for 6 years now having worked at 3 different places. All my jobs have been 8am to 5 pm. All my friends work similar hours. The best I've seen among my friends is 8-4.30 / 8.30-5. At some point, the capitalist pigs have sneakily changed our “8 hour work week” to 9 hours and almost no one says anything. We've all passively accepted the added work hours from our overlords. And if you say “tHaT oNE HouR iS FoR YOur LunCH!!”, I'm going to track you down and kick you in your balls. First of all, pay me for the freaking lunch hour because I am still in your shitty office on your shitty time. Lunch should be included in the work hours, that's basic freakin human rights for us to eat in between doing your shitty work. But second, I have never ever taken or needed an hour long lunch break. All my coworkers and I either eat our lunch at our desk (because all your shitty jobs are understaffed and we have too much to do), or are done within half hour so we are working so as not to seem idle to our shitty managers.
And add the commute to this. I usually leave home at 7 and get back home at 6 (I don't live an hour away from my work but because now basically everyone is working 8-5, we're all stuck in traffic). I am physically and mentally exhausted by the time I get home and all the things I used to enjoy like playing guitar, reading books, working out, are just slowly being phased out of me by these capitalist pigs and their greed. During the time it took me to type this, Elon Musk earned more money than I will earn throughout my lifetime as he retweets posts from Nazis. Fuck this shit
