I am sure it is for the CEO but for everyone else it is endless crunch time.

Can’t wait for my rent to go down 40% with my salary
Landlords:
are you referencing the "housing crisis"?
3 day week means they don’t pay you for 2 days.
What they're not telling you is that weeks will now be two days long and you'll owe your employer for that missing day.
Or you will need to pick up 3 other jobs to make ends meet. 3 days at slave camp 1, 3 days at slave camp 2 over lapping 3 days for slave camp 3
Some of us may die but just think of all the value we're adding for the shareholders.
Silly me, I forgot about my only role about making the line go up, off to slave camp 4 :(
Didn't MS just put out a RTO mandate like a week ago? Sure they'll totally let people have 3 day work weeks.
Zoom was one of the first to do the RTO...while the CEO was not in the office.
... And while earning a shit-ton for being a meeting app far more reliable and even-sounding than fucking teams.
Are there still idiots listening to the masturbatory fantasies of CEO's?
Are people just gonna be paid for less hours?
Well yes, but at an hourly rate.
Narrator: They weren’t
Hahahahahano
Yes, I'm sure if AI makes a company's workforce 40% more efficient, then CEOs will give employees 40% more free time and not just layoff 40% if their workforce.
And the rest of us will be homeless and dead on the street.
This is hyperbolic bullshit. It’s also a warning that executives and their boards are doing their best to will us into permanent serfdom if they get their way.
some people are already working 0-day workweeks.
It's literally the only way for capitalism to keep going...
When there's not enough jobs to earn money for resources shit hits the fan.
To compensate for technological advances the standard work week needs to shrink while wages at least stay the same. That way there's more jobs.
It's literally the whole point of the Luddite movement when the auto look showed up.
But what if our oligarchs just let 40% of us die, instead? Do they even notice a difference? They probably make more money.
The whole pyramid scheme requires the poor to buy things, and collapses when they don’t.
Gotta boost the casket industry somehow.
just like animals need to keep circulating blood to stay alive, so does the economy need to continue circulating consumer goods and products. without it, it's dead and becomes worthless rather rapidly.
basically, the economy has a stark interest in keeping consumerism running. that's in fact such a large interest that it even justifies taxing the rich and redistributing money sothat it can flow in circles (from bottom to top, from top to bottom).
taxing the rich
Where exactly is that happening besides western Europe? I do not see that happening in the USA at the moment.
So, distribution of surplus value is on the table, again.
I'm sure they already work 3 days a week
The smartest, most technically knowledgeable one of them is Gates. The retirement age dork who's wife divorced him over Epstein and never had his buddy Woz's skills.
These rich dipshit are just pumping their investments.
