When I think about the fact that I'm meant to work 40 hours a week and then also prepare food and clean and run errands try to take care of my life at the same time, I feel extremely bitter about the fact that we still work 40 hours a week, 5 days a week, in 2022. In my case, at least 15 of those hours are spent sitting in a chair, killing my health, trying to look busy or make it through the inevitable brain fog that occurs during an 8-hour office day. Why.

And I don't even have children. I don't know how people are doing life with children. I totally understand why so many people left the work force in 2021.

I should be glad I'm not an Amazon worker or something, and I am, but god. We need to seriously look at the reality of work in the 21st century, and it does not involve 40 hours a week.

To me there is one thing MUCH worse than 40/hr/week jobs and that is the way work can take such an immense psychological toll on us. I HATE "being" my job. I wish I could work 40 hours a week and relax as a normal human being for the remaining 128. I can't, and THIS is what bugs me.

God I feel you. I know there are lots of people out there who work considerably more than 40 hours per week, and still have to do all that other stuff, and that just makes me feel even worse because I honestly do. not. understand. how.

I just don't get it, and I never have. I can handle like 20 hours per week and still keep up with the absolute basic household stuff, and that's it.

I don't get how everyone does it. And I'm sure many people's response will basically be, "Because I don't have a choice," and I'm sympathetic to that, I truly am, but like, yeah, I didn't have a choice either. That's how I ended up on government disability. Because I had to do it, and I still couldn't do it.

Goddamn mood. I don't get why we all just have to suck it and grind for so many hours a day just to get barely any money to support ourselves in 2022 (well, aside from corporate greed, shitty politicians and rich assholes, y'know). I thought all the modern day conveniences were supposed to mean our lives would be more convenient? This is not convenient. This is decidedly the opposite of convenient.

Yuck, totally feel you on this. Add in shaping our schedule around our jobs and it's literally living for work. Time taken into commuting to and from work, dress up and down for work, scheduling sleep around work. At my work place it's more or less at given that at the very least we work 2 extra days of overtime every month. So even the "40 hour work week" is a fucking farce. A lot of places make their employees work more than 40hrs a week. I know some places try to avoid paying OT and instead find loopholes to get employees to work under 40hrs, but regardless, workplaces will overwork and underpay the employees as much as possible
