I think we should get better at budgeting our work time.
It may sound daunting at first but when you want to work eight hours, first think : “can I afford this eight hours of work? Shouldn’t I rather be playing Monster Hunter?” and take good habits from there.
Maybe in the beginning try working 5 or 6 hours. Don’t rush it, but keep your determination.
You’ll slowly begin to perceive more opportunities as you grow in focus : “Instead of working another hour for my boss, I’ll write my own TTRPG setting or hit that solo queue”.
It’s hard at first but others made it. Why wouldn’t you?
Why are people responding to your post like it’s serious? It couldn’t be more obvious satire if it had a blinking neon sign that said ‘THIS IS SATIRE’ next to it. Sometimes satire needs the ‘/s’, but not when it is super obvious like this.
One must consider that irony is lost in text, I do suggest a THIS IS SATIRE indeed. Remember we are at the internet and X exists so, you can find the wildest shit my man
The privilege you have that allows to think we already have control over punching the clock.
That’s great go do that, what are the hourly workers going to when a reduction to 6 hours is a 25% pay cut on a wage that is about half a century behind inflation… That was before covid and the astronimical rise in cost of living recently
There’s people, a fucking ton of people, because of incredibly shitty wages, that cant buy a dozen eggs without needing to work 2 hours that same reduction you just spoke of is how much they have to work just to afford that
I misunderstood. But you can’t just assume sarcasm through text. It’s often easy enough to miss irl
And many people are somewhere in the spectrum so it’s just a really bad idea to assume your audience is in on the joke. I might be one of them if this was really that obviously sarcastic to the average person
You didn’t say anything that was outlandish or completely ridiculous.
With all the ridiculousness actively going on right now and some of the most outlandish things people genuinely believe, satire and sarcasm are nearly impossible to distinguish. Real life is too weird now for anything to be unbelievable.

It is satire, but we wish it wasn’t and are reacting as such.

Nice jab at toxic positivity.
Indeed, this was supposed to be satire, like you know, the opposite of “budget better” corporate initiative.
Unless you’re pretty advanced in your field, it can be pretty difficult to find a job that is willing to give you work hours on your terms like that.

P. S. : The sarcasm was a distant reference to this and other kinds of resembling discourse floating around today.
Mark it next time, the sarcasm was not at all obvious
Fair, but I thought it was a given on Lemmy.
Look egg Is on my face.

Makes sense, indeed.
Write your own TTRPG did not give it away?
Why would it? I’ve written ttrpg settings for my groups as part of running a game

I wish I could, fam, I wish I could.
But in the meantime, I can write sarcastic posts for my Lemmy pals during my commute to my 8 hours of work for my boss.
