Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good luck getting 40 hours.

People call America "the great experiment", and then celebrate being fitted for the exact same cage?

Dispite my generalized observation, my solidarity lies with Brazilians.

The American special: Pay a salary that’s not based on hours worked, then quantify work product by projects completed on time but not the amount of time needed to reach completion. Rinse and repeat. This is how you end up working 50 hours/week + weekends without extra pay above your normal salary.
