daily reminder that there is absolutely nothing normal about being expected to waste a majority of your life at a corporation to survive instead of indulging in better life experiences ✨

In the 1960s it was a common speculation that by 1980 the typical work week would consist of 4 days. And by the year 2000 we’d be working no more than 3 days a week.

Because of computerization, automation, and better efficiencies in workflow.

Guess what happened instead?

Believe it or not the 8 hour workday is a result of workers protesting 12 to 14 hour workdays. Businesses would work you forever if they could–and they still outsource jobs to countries where they can get people to work up to 16 hours a day.
