Yeah, that’s the point of it. Since I have nothing better to do on every weekday, I just work more. Then I can fuck off camping for four days while everyone else keeps working all week.
I’m sure there’s people out there that enjoy the routine of 5/7 days of the week going to work, but I try to avoid as many days not doing what I want as possible, so I will work excessive hours where possible so they get out of the way and free up my week.

That only works once everyone is on board. Until then, you’re just refusing extra pay out of principle. Which, I mean, don’t let me stop you. I have respect for people who stick to their convictions. But in my current situation, I can’t afford not to take extra hours. A labor deficit would be nice, but I don’t think we can achieve the results we want by artificially reducing labor supply.
I’m not being pessimistic either, I’m proud of the work laborers around the world have been doing to unionize more industries. If we keep going, we’ll all have livable wages with reasonable work schedules.
