WOW. Sleep and rest are mistakes. TIL
I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.
this should be the way
It seems that modern society has made “standard” things more standard than they originally were.
At least people having special arrangements and working, say, one job 2 days a week and another 3 days a week, and the third sometimes on-demand, seemingly was more normal 100 years ago.
Of course not the majority, the majority would work their asses off by the clock even more than now.
But there are upsides to a non-synchronous, irregular life schedule. Say, more even load for utilities and transport. Weekends not being special days when half the things don’t work.
And, of course, the ability to pick something you like most. Say, if the pay for 3 days a week somewhere is good enough to keep you floating, even if barely, then why the hell not, it’s worth it.
The problem with statements like this is that they only ever seem to be made by narcissists who thinks work is only those efforts that directly benefit them. The end of my “work day” is when I start my other job of working for myself. I manage my home, I take care of my garden, I put effort into maintaining or improving my physical and mental well being, I foster and build the relationships in my life that I care about, etc. All of that is work, it’s just work that I do for myself and don’t get a paycheck for.
Some people would want others’ lives to be embedded into one hierarchy, and that only.
So that everything of importance was being decide by people on top of those hierarchies.
Ex-USSR countries show full well why this shouldn’t be allowed. It, of course, was done there accompanied by a different ideology, but.
Absolutely nailed it.
This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
MBAs were a mistake, says me, some guy on Lemmy.
Science: knowledge workers stop being consistently productive past 40 hours per week, and probably less than that
Rentier-capitalists hot boxing their own farts recreationally: ackshually the problem is we let you dirty fucking peasants go home to sleep at all
He’s absolutely right. That’s why he should come work for me on his weekends. I’ll pay him $15/hr!
What? He won’t work for that? Lazy CEO.
Was he sired on a weekend?
Narayama Murthy sounds like an enormous piece of shit.
You sully the good name of shit.
Yeah, stuff grows in shit
Narayama Murthy was a mistake.
I keep trying to tell people the pull out method is not 100% effective.
Typical CEO ragebaiting to make themselves seem relevant.
Infosys is a mistake. It’s a poor choice for anyone.
This. Everything Infosys touches is garbage.
Narayana Murthy being born was a mistake, I hope someone rectifies it.
Is immolation illegal?
Self? Kinda. To others? Don’t get caught.
To be fair, some of my weekends have been a mistake.
Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn’t know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn’t mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.
It’s not about productivity. If that were the real goal then the entire system would be structured radically differently, given what we know now through actual research. The real goal is ensuring that workers do not have ample time or energy to collectively organize. Make sure they don’t have the time to even think about anything else, and you ensure they damn sure don’t have the time to rebel. The other goal is ensuring there are a significant number of unemployed people in terrible enough conditions to make them desperate, but not so terrible that they are incapable of working. That way if s few stray workers get a bug up their ass about organizing and striking, there’s a reserve army of labor in the homeless and unemployed communities that can step in and scab.
