My work pays me to work from 9 to 5, which uses the best part of my day. I'm not giving anything more than that.

I'd even argue that's too fucking much

[-] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

And I would agree! 4h top is all I need to do my daily job.

IMO the weekend should be longer than the fucking work week. We have this shit backwards. Work is 5 days and then we have barely 1 day to relax, since you need one of the weekend days for errands.

I loved working 4 10s (and at that place it was more like 4 13s) because it gave 1 day to relax, 1 to run errands/go to weekday appointments, and 1 to clean the house/relax. Id much rather work longer 4 days a week and have an extra day off the workday is so long anyway especially with a commute that I can't do anything after work anyway (and I was too tired to).

If you work from home, you can do things during the work week too. Say you have a meeting where you only talk for 5 minutes. You clean or do chores the rest of the time. Just wear and earbud and put yourself on mute.

You can have your whole weekend off. I'm never going back to in office work unless the pay is doubled. It takes up all your time.

I know but that's all still very stressful.
