Not true at all. 9-5 is literally 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week. How many hours do you think a person should work in a non-flawed system? 3 per day? 15 per week?
You only “waste” time working if you don’t gain skills and increase your pay. That is on the worker to make working work for them not “society.”
She is complaining about being tired after a long day - duh. She is complaining about not being able to go out and make friends or date despite choosing to just come home, shower and eat because that is all SHE feels like doing.
She could have a full social life and get some at 11pm and go to bed at 1am and wake up and do if all over again. I did that for years and found a husband in the process.
You are making it seem like people have zero control over how they spend their time when not working. How do you know someone “can’t enjoy” $90k per year? Lol.
It’s not that simple. And most people ain’t going to bed at 1 am to wake up and 6 or 7 to go to work.
I had a job making 90k as a manager. Technically it was 40 hours, but it was more like 60 to 65. And as a manager even when you’re off, if there’s an issue, you gotta deal with it.
The same with call centers. If you work at a warehouse it’s even worse.
Everybody can’t work remotely or work a high six figure job. The people in the service and hospitality industries have it worse because they have to deal with a$$hole customers constantly.
But people like you look down on people who are in those positions and you tell them to leave.
Ok. If those positions are that fukked up, why do then need to exist in the first place? Covid called them essential so if that’s the case, why are they still shunned?
The system in general is fukked up. If you work 40 hours, you shouldn’t have to work another job just to afford rent AND food. But I digress. Inflation is out of control, credit card debt is in the trillions an people keep chasing the imaginary American Dream.
