Proposed Washington State Law Would Create 32-Hour Workweek

[Field Marshall Bradley]

You can get things done faster, but every field doesn't operate that way. Medicine and Finance are two of them where 32 hours a week isn't cutting it. Both have people working 60 and they're legitimately busy over those 60 hours.

Doctors work only 40 hours in Norway and some other countries

Norway doesn't have a population of 300M+ people filled with bad health habits.

What's Seattle like

i never understood 8 hr days 5 days a week

after 4-6 hrs im checked out and the whole day friday im bullshytting

 

[How Sway?]

Anything past 30 hrs should be considered OT.

dont mind wages dropping some things money cant buy, plus more time to spend on things that matter to me, not working for another man


Great idea hopefully it spreads

Doesn’t matter.....

It does but I'll let you have it.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

as long as it's for everybody that's holding down a job I'm all for it

that working 40 hour stuff should've been dead in the 90's.

I honestly wish I could work 32 hours even if it meant cutting my pay in proportion. It seems to be full time (salary ) or bust in software.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

It does but I'll let you have it.

no it doesn’t.... Look here, a wal mart truck driver can’t haul a load of kitty litter for more than 11 hours straight, and you think it makes sense for doctors to work more than that...... it’s a reason why lobbyists got legislation enacted to make residencies immune to antitrust liabilities..... but I’ll let you tell it.....

 

[Pazzy]

Might as well because that 40 hour work week shyt ain't made for humans

100% agree. And i think for those professions, that should be highlighted.

but your average person is working at a building, on a laptop at a desk with no real reason to be in office beyond meetings and accessing the server.

id even be okay in those jobs with 40hrs if we could work from home for half of those hrs or flex the time however we want (ex. 6-6p M-W and then work 4 hrs thursday)

at the end of the day, a company should only care about the bottom line, if shyt gets done and the employees are prepared. If everything gets done it shouldnt matter how many hrs we are physically present
