Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoI’ve had a difficult time negotiating this as an American mechanical engineer. There’s this bizarre norm of working long weeks even though we get paid way more than most jobs.
I just want health care and they won’t offer it at 35 hours. If I’m missing some obvious trick here, please inform me!
Same here, I’m a computer engineer trying to do 20-30/week. So far the only places that will even talk to me are where I formerly worked full time.
I’ve had multiple people suggest that I simply agree to work full time and then just not, but I’m not sure if those folks realize how stressful that can be.
I wish you luck in your situation!
