Comment on Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report
JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 days agoThe fuck part of 830 is early? Enjoy your breakfast and shitting a home I punch in at 630. At least I do get paid for my morning dump and shit post session
Ok, but think of it in terms of normal start times vs needing to go in early, instead of the actual hour. If you usually start at 6:30 but had to go in for 6:00 for no reason other than a meeting that could have been an email, it sucks.
I used to have a 6:30 start time when I was younger, had an hour commute, and still had time for breakfast at home in the morning. It absolutely sucked and I hated it. Getting up for 8:30 start times still sucks if you’re used to 9:00 start times.
That’s a perfectly fair point, well taken.
Let’s just say getting out of bed and leaving the house on somebody else’s schedule to make somebody else money sucks in general.
I get up at 9:30 for my 9-5 WFH gig and it doesn’t actually feel any better. You can get used to good things too and it doesn’t render capitalism any less soulsucking.

This kind of “must be nice” reaction is exactly what the owner class wants: workers pissy at each other over how big their crumbs are, instead of at the perpetrators who feast on the bad situation they created.
