Don’t thank God. God was a supporter of the 6-day work week.
Thank a labor activist.
We need more of those in that case. A 3 day weekend seems plausible.
In 1924, the average family worked 40 hours a week. Now it works 80. That’s what happens when you double the workforce and fail to change anything else.
A 20 hour workweek is equivalent to what our great grandparents were doing. Society CAN afford it. It’s just a matter of fighting for it.
I live in the US. As a rule, I work a four day week with a three day weekend. I’ve turned down jobs because they didn’t offer it as an option.
Unfortunately, the week I work is 4x10. I’d certainly rather have one day a week rather than two hours a day, but both would be far preferable.
I still end up regularly logging in on Fridays because of people with unimportant meetings and inflexible schedules.
Not just plausible, preferable!
TUIF
Friday, am drunk. At least during the daylight I’ll be sober living my life.
Good news though, my workplace is attempting to form a union. Signed my card today. Fuck management, the spineless bastards.
Pardon my French, but FUCK YEAH ✊
Good to see that peaceful protests like Occupy Wall Street have helped fix everything. I’ll jot it down that violent revolution isn’t necessary, we can just ask nicely and our Betters will help us out
It was a mostly peaceful protest that broke up the soviet union
“Mostly”
I’ve tried plenty of violent ones, didn’t work either. There needs to be an undercurrent of support for change.all through society.
More like spend the two days catching up on chores and honey-do’s. Mostly the only time I feel fully rested after a weekend is when it was a three-day weekend.
Left my previous job a little more than 6 months ago and became self-employed. I’m doing basically the exact same thing as I did before but it has stopped feeling like work. Sure, some days I might work till the evening but on other days I might only have a few hour job and then I get to go back home. I’m currently enjoying my 3 day weeked because I simply didn’t take any jobs for friday but instead pushed them all to next week. It’s pretty nice I must say. If it’s something you’ve considered I strongly recommend giving it a shot.
I still have a paper to write that’s due Monday at midnight. So no 2/7 of recreation for me sadly
Damn, I wish I was still in school with no worries about taking care of other people.
Well, it’s an SLT apprenticeship and I’m in my second year, so we’ll soon be taking care of patients ourselves. But I see what you mean.
Don’t ruin my weekend.
Why do you have to attack me like this.
It ended too soon.

Some of our society says that same thing about 1/3 of every day with the other 3rds being drunk and unconscious.
This 5/7ths crowd sounds like under achievers.
Happy Friday!
