No they are at 40. They are capped at 12 hours of OT. You legally cannot work more than 12 hours of OT. This proposal would do away with that.

I was so infuriated by the headline, I didn't read the article

I'm convinced the leadership in each country are secretly robots...it's amazing how out of touch they are with the human experience. Yeah...more work will lead to healthier family life...not spending more time with them. Spending more time with your boss

They're not out of touch. These companies are in politicians pockets basically bribing them to make laws that will benefit them.

Then they try to juelz the regular citizens that the new laws will benefit them/us.

You see it in the US with these pharmaceutical companies. Look how fast cannabis has been made legal once states figured out how they could profit from it

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it appears that there's a limit to how many hours you can work in a week. This is just raising the limit. You're not being forced to work 69 hours but you can if you choose to. And you can use those extra hours you worked can be converted into additional time off to spend with your family.
You can bust ya ass all winter and take mad time off in the summer type shyt

40 X 7(South Korean minimum wage) = $280

Then 12 hours of OT AND increased that higher to extra 29 hours , and u have a family of 5… you’ll be dead

It's money. The amount of money they have drives them insane. They can't make rational decisions because they are not in their right minds.

In the future after a huge calamity, I foresee most governments on earth instituting something like a hard limit on how much a person can earn. Something like you're not allowed to earn more than 10 people, you can't pass down more than 10% of your wealth and if you make over 100k you're banned from trading stocks. If you run for office you're prevented from trading stocks and have to give up a minimum of 45% of your net worth.

Exactly. But even then, there’s a monthly cap so it still must average out to 52.

What's the point of having more freedom than North Korea, but having less free time than North Korea?

ChatGPT query:

The exact number of hours worked per week by North Koreans is difficult to determine because of the country's closed nature and lack of reliable information. However, it is known that the North Korean government mandates a six-day workweek, with most workers expected to work for up to 10 hours a day. This adds up to a total of around 60 hours per week. It is important to note that this is a general estimate, and working conditions and hours may vary depending on the industry and job type.

The US should follow suit. Get to work.

Sounds like a flex schedule. You can basically take it easy in between crunch time.

Still think it might be abused
