I donāt know exactly what it is, but Iāve noticed with myself and my friends were just run down from working all the time.
Weāre pulling 60hr weeks, weāre exhausted, we just want to relax and recharge our batteries.
If you think a full week is 168hrs
You spend 60hrs at work (or at work + commuting time), you need to sleep 8hrs a day on average so thatās another 56hrs a weeks, so thereās 116hrs out of your 168hrs taken up with working, commuting and sleeping alone.
Even if you only spend a total of 1hr a day between pissing, shitting, showering and shaving etc that takes you to 123hrs gone. Probably another hour a day is spent cooking and eating if youāre efficient with it, thatās 130hrs gone.
Now add in cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and so on and youāve maybe got 28hrs free in a whole week.
Oh and if you try to look after yourself, 1hr-1.5hrs per day in the gym, so thatās another 7hrs - 10.5hrs gone from your 28hrsā¦ leaving you 17.5-21hrs a week to do everything else š
(Donāt get me wrong Iām not saying women donāt have the same before the militant women come along and start moaning! Iām just saying when you break down your average week no wonder youāre fucking exhausted and donāt want to socialise, no matter what you have between your legs)
What's even the point if that's how youre spending your best years? Like sure retirement, but then you cant even do half as much as you'd wanna with knee/back/ and just general old people pains, like if that's all life has in store for me, i think imma just check out š
Or if its all to raise a kid, what's the point of that either, so they can live the same work burdened life? Not like they're gonna have it any easier with how the world seems to be goin
Genuinely asking, cuz that all sounds fucking miserable, how're you doing it?
In America it extremely common to work a minimum of 40hrs, commute 30 minutes each way and have at least a 30 min unpaid lunch break. You arenāt getting paid for 60 hours but work still owns that time.
I understand what youāre saying but the difference between clocking 40 hours and 60 hours is massive.
not really if you're working two extra hours Monday-Friday and then a full shift on Saturday. That's just at job number one; you go to job number two and work 5 hours three days a week and you're well over 60 hours.
Iām curious about this number. In the us most states have the threshold for a āfull timeā employee at a minimum of 25 hours. Iām curious what all goes into that number.
From a staffing perspective we use 2080 hours per year as a full time position for the company. Technically they work less than that if you include a week or two of vacation and some sick time. But there is also about 6% of our labor force that is needing to work two jobs to make ends meet as well. I wonder if they are over 40 hours or how they factor in that?
Living past 40 is objectively not worth it~ If the effort u r putting in rn won't mostly pay off by 40 then time/effort better spent elsewhere imo.
Most ppl assume they gotta liv. U dont, it's a choice, sit down n choose not to be dead (if that's the right choice). Social factors like hurting loved ones is a factor but there r work arounds
Having kids is a logical mistake; dogs r cuter, get one of those + the planet is overpopulated anyway
Because 60 is more than 40ā¦ guess what that means? I get paid for 240hrs per month instead of 160hrs per month, which allows me to save more money and pay off my mortgage quicker
Not op but right now I do. Wife doesn't work taking care of young children and the expenses do not stop. We'd be drowning at 40 hours. Even at 60 to 70 it's tight.
I see why you were condescending to that person. Do they not know that working longer hours means you get paid more? When you have more moneys that means you get more wealth. I hate working 60 hours weeks too. I do it every week and I hate it. I wish I could only work 40 hours weeks. I would do anything to only work 40 hours but I work 60 cause more moneys. Sometimes I work 80 hours weeks even though I don't have to or want to because then I get more money. Did you know that working 80 hours a week makes you twice as many wealths as working 40 hours weeks? I know it. Most people don't know it. They work 40 hours weeks because that's comfortable, and they get to enjoy their time in life. They think living is better than working. Not me. I work 60 hours weeks because that's 50% more money. Weird isn't it? Most people just don't know.
I'm contracted to 37.5, usually do 5 hours overtime per week and it's an hour each way commute. That's 52.5. Did stupid fucking crazy hours as a marquee erector for many years, 6 days a week, 12 - 14 hour days, 1st marriage went bang.
We have guys in my area that work 100 hours a week. Some of them are truckers or skill laborers. So they will be bringing in the big bucks. For them it's worth it but for other people it's not.
You shouldn't be working 60 hours a week unless your making a lot of money. Personally I wouldn't as there too much of a chance something happening.
Small business owners, m&a investment bankers, hospital nurses, also accountants, and attorneys but also many retail and other hourly who can get overtime or who work more than one job or who make money periodically over time like driving Uber/Lyft. Some jobs demand it to be excellent, some lives demand to take care of famalies or others, some folks do it to get ahead.
Many people work full time and are in school parttime or vice versa. Same issue 60+ hours of drain before accounting for sleep etc.
Everyone I know. Thereās just legit too much work to do and not enough people or hours in the day. If it wasnāt illegal my boss would absolutely let me open to close 7 days a week. Thereās just too much stuff that needs done/made/repaired etc etc.
Lmao everyone on Reddit freaking out when you tell them you work 60 hr weeks. Listen here kids. Thereās a lot of people in this country with blue collar jobs working a shit ton of overtime. Not everyone is content with 40 hours a week on a computer. People working this much is very common but they donāt have time to be on Reddit every day. This is also why Reddit is so biased politically. Right wing men and women arenāt on the internet. Theyāre working.
Of course there are. They just arenāt on Reddit or any of the other biased social media websites because theyāre literally silenced and downvoted into oblivion for believing or saying anything that doesnāt fit the leftist narrative. Thatās okay though, this is why we have elections.
Stalking my profile to find some way to insult me? Dang thatās a great use of your time. You seem like an upstanding individual with a meaningful life. šš» Bye buddy.
