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

My co-workers are people like here. They say “don’t have ambition” “we’re just work folk” “if you do double the work you only get paid the same amount anyways”.
The mentality my family doesn’t have. Somehow my family all end up being high earners.

Yeah we get it you’re awesome and whatever. Maybe if your coworkers were compensated for their efforts instead of taken advantage of they’d feel different about putting more work in.
Hell that last complaint you listed from your coworkers is literally the same thing you’re complaining about.
You’re still part of the proletariat, stop shilling for the bourgeoisie.

I’m petite bourgeoisie, half my income comes from capital.
My workplace is very leftist. It’s a hospital, the income is all thanks to subsidies from the tax payers.
Everyone is paid based on a barema, everyone gets the same. That’s because of unions. I’m fine with that. But I’m learning everything about the hospital and will demand a higher position or simply go to another hospital that agrees to give me that.
I despise stagnation. These coworkers do the same job as I do, I’m 29 and they are in their 50s.
The 24 year old newbie is more productive than those oldies. Our generation has been educated more profoundly.
These oldies can only do their own tasks and if you ask them anything else, they freak out.
The younger generation is a lot more flexible. I’m learning the tasks of everyone at the department. Then I’ll expand it to finance. I have my eyes on multiple positions and the people who have those positions are actual capable workers.
The thing I’m earning on top of my wage is experience (human capital).
if you always do the same tasks year after year, you’re basically… well… you’re replaceable by AI.
