German Union Wins 28-Hour Work Week & 4.3% Pay Raise

I know I spend the first two hours of each day BS'ing, listening to podcast on my phone and generally doing nothing.
I used to have designated catch up on the news time for about 1.5 hours. Then I may go get some breakfast. Followed by me doing the 2 hours of work I needed to. Afterwards, I would go talk to my coworkers, go check up on the news again. I would then stare at the clock and wait for the day to be over while I complained about how tired I was from the long, arduous work day.
Rinse and repeat.
Then I got a job where I had to deal with people and I would have to do work at work

This... uber capitalism has American citizens backwards as fukk..... people actually think that working on/off the clock for a total of 50 plus hours a week while trying to juggle a spouse, kids, immediate family and social life is normal....
shyt is blatant insanity, and we've been programmed somehow to think otherwise.... and the irony is that we're not as productive as some of these other countries with shorter work weeks and significantly more sick/vacation time
Cause lack of unity and lack of perspective of seeing the bigger picture. Even the education system teaches kids to be cutthroat and do anything to leave the next person behind. Selfishness is what caused all of this in the first place. The only reason why Obamacare even exist because people got the internet now and seeing what the rest of the first world countries have, and people in power (sorta) caved into the pressure.
People think that they can be the CEO with the big 8 figure bank account and have fame and wealth out the ass like their favorite entertainer. Even in NY, people are scared to organize against the greedy landlords and fight for a better future.

I heard American film directors hate filming movies overseas because the folks over there aren't hearing working over 8 hours.
And they shouldn't be. And people overseas live longer and healthier lives.

You are right, USA ranks 5th in productivity but works the most hours in the top 10. On average we work at least 3 hours more. 3 more hours, with shyttier benefits and get less shyt done than countries that work 26 to 28 hours a week on average. Granted we got a larger working population but still...we can do better.
Only country in the top 10 the works the same amount of hours is Ireland.
These Are the Most Productive Countries in the World
It's about the quality of life and how much of your "wants" can be fulfilled alongside your "needs". nikkas would rather eat ramen in a dusty roach infested apartment and brag about their 20% tax rate, than to have a 76% tax rate, live in some lush extravagant square footage in a gorgeous neighborhood with free healthcare and a social safety net that helps lower the cost of goods to a level where you can afford everything you want...
Cats want to have mad disposable income to buy luxury cars and splurge.
To be fair, if you can't handle working 40 hours a week then you are lazy and I look down on you as a person...sorry breh.

And we wonder why we don't have 28 and 35 hour work weeks like every other rich Western country
