Who decided on the 40 hour work week?

It’s annoying. Every time I apply for a part time job, I still get stuck getting stiffed with 40 hours and sometimes more because we are “sHoRt StAfEd”. It’s getting in the way of my hobbies. 😭 I want to work out, play video games, smoke my weed, and learn how to whittle. Leave me alone.

I think 40 hours is pretty reasonable myself.

It takes up too many days. @JimboSaturn

@666Maggotz Lol, I need to work that much to make ends meet lol. I think it is a good work/life mix myself. It's similar to the 80/20 rule. You do need vacations and holidays too though . I like to use up some of my vacation days taking fridays off in the summer.

@666Maggotz just find you value your time off more when it's limited. It's the whole supply and demand thing.

@JimboSaturn not really. I don’t value it more. It just makes me want to die when I go back. I feel bad for you people who value working over rest and relaxation. I don’t need the money of full time work, so there is no reason for me to be there.

@666Maggotz I don't value work over rest. I just think that if you have unlimited time on your hands, the value goes down. I don't hate work that much that I feel that I'm going to die doing it, maybe that's the difference.

Yeah, my job sucks. I’m only working here to save for a car since I got into an accident. Then I will be able to actually get a job that makes me less miserable. I just hate everything about it 😭@JimboSaturn

@666Maggotz Customer service right?

Yes, it’s the worst. @JimboSaturn

@666Maggotz Agreed customer service can really suck.
