Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation.

32hr workweek as a transition period down to 24 or even 20. 4 weeks PTO for new hires or something, add 2 weeks per year up to like 8 or 10, or even 12?
Fuck capitalism.

That’s how I sounded like before I got married and became a father. Now I want to be CFO instead. Funny how that goes.
Bless capitalism

If you’re implying you want to spend as much time away from your family as possible, you could just get a divorce. Wouldn’t have to sell all your life to shareholders then.

Do you require an echo chamber or do you want to actually bring change?
If you can’t even convince me.
I worked a year 32h a week. I don’t see the issue why you don’t just do that. You get paid for those 32 hours ya know

Nah, I want my kid to be a millionaire. Takes me 37,5 work hours a week

Your kid is going to be a little shit with a father like you and all that money handed to him.

Man having a wife and kid made me want to be at home more, not less. I would leap at the opportunity to have 32 hour weeks and tons of vacation. I would even consider going into the office a second day of the week for that.
Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 12 hours ago
I worked 0 hours before having a reason to work. I barely need money. I make money for my family.

Now imagine being able to provide for your family without being away from your family for so long.
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 16 hours ago
You know, you could just talk with your wife and/or find something more worthwhile to do than putting in the maximum physically possible hours at work.
Or just get a divorce, because that’s faster and cheaper than avoiding your family until your wife divorces you and your kids resent you, and has the same end result.
Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 15 hours ago
My dad worked more than me, nobody resented him. My inheritance was 500k euros. My kid’s inheritance will be above a million euros.
Silly people
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 14 hours ago
“Silly people” says the guy who hit the birth lottery of inheriting fuck you money from the start and still can’t think of anything worthwhile to do.
Why do you even work with 500k in the bank? Why don’t you live off your investments and capital gains somewhere in the carribean? Why do you think your kids need even more money instead of their Dad being there? Holy shit.

Sitting at home on my toilet married with a child. So I feel equally qualified to say this as you.
Fuck capitalism and that exploitation. What, you used to have empathy and care and now you’re a selfish asshole? How is that good, it’s definitely not funny, it’s just sad.
Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 8 hours ago
Who said I ever had empathy? I use logic. If you’re going to try and convince me, I’d suggest trying to use logic as well. It’s fairly easy to convince people with logic. Using your emotions etc will only cause polarisation, echo chambers, …
If you want to work 32 hours, go work 32 hours. Nobody is stopping you.
I’ve worked 32 hours for a year. Has its benefits. Just less money. Now that my wife is working half time, I’m obviously going to work more.
You know what work reform I’d love to see? One where pay is based on production. Not time. So when I do twice what you do in the same amount of time, I bring home twice the money.
LePoisson@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Cool, you’re shitting on people getting more vacation time and better pay for … What reason again? Because you got married and had a kid?
Use logic to make that make sense to me. Also I’ll hit you with some logic right here, your own in fact.
Sweet, worker productivity has soared while ages stagnated. Paying people the same amount of money to do 32 hours of work vs 40 is a step making pay more aligned with production. Exactly what you want!
toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Honestly all that needed to be said. Fucking utilitarians.
Furbag@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Funny, that’s what we want too. Production now is higher than ever before in the history of humanity, yet our wages and salaries have been stagnant for decades. If we are producing more than ever before, why do we need to work so many hours per week? We should either be fairly compensated for that productivity or we should not be required to produce more than we are fairly paid for, which should translate to either a drastic salary increase to match the increased demand for productivity or a drastic decrease in hours worked (without a reduction in pay, since you agree that pay should be based on production).

This checks out. You sound EXACTLY like me when I was 29 and an insufferable know-nothing piece of shit. Now I’m embarrassed for both of us.

I’m 38. I used to think like you. Then I realised it was a business not a person and my boss wasn’t my friend, and that I should be getting more for less.

Having boomer opinions is a mindset thing, not an age thing.

You know, most countries have both time off for expecting women and paid time off for mothers of newborns and increasingly for the fathers too.
