I don’t think that’s uniquely american, though…?
In fact many countries including China and Mexico have more hours worked on average.
Working hard doesnt scale. Work smart
Work smart means getting other people to do the work for you and keeping most of the profit for yourself.
Unfortunately, there are still many of those who love working and don’t mind working long hours anyway. Some of them use work to forget their personal problems, some derive a sense of purpose-- the latter of whom are brainwashed by the right to love work. Kudos to those who work excessive hours, but the problem is that the owner-class wants the rest of us to follow suit and they don’t care if we would rather spend time on our hobbies or families outside of work.
This was me, I was working four jobs - all part-time, just one with a steady schedule, with two of them where I was doing IT work for way too little money. About a year into this insanity, I suffered a stroke.
I’m on social security disability now and I’m down not-that-much vs working my ass off and being a bitch for everyone. Life is shit, and then you die.
Pray St. Elon has mercy upon your soul!
Shit man, sorry to hear that, Until recently I was doing the grinding and working one and a half jobs and that shit was already killing me, that’s about 60hours a week, I can’t imagine doing more than that, whenever I hear some Americans talking about 80hour work weeks I think that’s goddamn mental.
I recently also read a study that working over 55 hours a week like skyrockets your chances of CVDs, stroke, heart attack, one of the main reasons I stopped.
Work more, worry less!
i am still waiting to get a head, am i supposed to pay for it?
No you’re supposed to be unflinchingly self centered, greedy, and dishonest. The key to getting a head is having other people work, and you walk away with all the money. One of the best ways to do this is market disruption. Think of a job people do that costs money for the the person paying for the service or goods, now imagine no one gets paid to do the job. Taxi driver? What if you started an app where people could pay for a ride but the driver is paid next to nothing with no job security, and you keep as much of it money as possible. Get creative! Doctors? What if an app gave you free AI based medical advice and Rx meds? But you don’t need to pay a hospital or medical staff, and you keep all the money.
Normally your born with a head as it houses the brain and you can’t live without one!
Typical indicators of headlessness may include inability to think clearly, vertigo, deaf- or blindness, and in serious cases, death.
If you think you’re experiencing headlnessness, gesture wildly towards the doctor’s office to a friend. If you are also experiencing armlessness, please press #2.
Tip positions are modern slave labour
Modern slavery is modern slave labor. This is poverty wages which is almost as bad, but slightly distinct
Why do I see so many slaves defending the system of tip slavery?
It’s not slavery. It’s genuinely insulting to people in actual slavery that still exist to call it as such
OK. Exploitation of labour then I guess.
Much better. Like there are literally child laborers and slaves throughout the chocolate industry. And that’s just one industry, there are millions of slaves still around unfortunately
