Unfortunately, most managers cannot recognize the benefits of letting workers start their commute when said workers start the clock, and eat on the job if necessary reaps such vast rewards in long term employee retention and output.

Tbf not all of these have to be done daily. I get the point, but yeah.
My mom did when I was growing up. She even scrubbed the unfinished basement floor every day on her hands and knees.
I managed to get over that.
Do people not understand the concept of compartmentalization?
Who shops for food every day of their life? Aside from some exceptions, most jobs are 4/5 days a week with many being even less. 10,000 steps a day? That four miles. This is now considered too hard?
There’s 168 hours in a week. Better yet, 720 hours in a month. It’s best to do your scheduling math according to this, and most people grocery shop for the week/month, and not day by day. Socializing is also not done on a hour by hour/day by day perspective. It happens when it happens. In 720 hours, there is plenty enough time to be social. Especially when you can combine several of these things together. For instance,
Work = walking. Shopping every day? That’s a lot of walking also. Blamo! There ya go. Your 10,000 steps done in just those two things. So even if the meme example were true, it disproves its own point right there.
It must be so exhausting for one to have to change reality just to make a meme so people will acknowledge their existence.
Who shops for food every day of their life?
I buy fresh bread every day, that's fairly common in Italy. But it usually takes just a few minutes.
I see it more like 8 hours work 1h state mandated break at work 1h commute 8h of sleep 1h of eating then you got 5h under the week, (very generously). So it's not 168h a week it's maybe 55. After coming home at around 18:00 I don't really feel like doing anything else that day, mostly cutting down my time where I get to do something meaningful to the weekend
The amount of people who are blaming the poor for burnout in this thread is unsurprising, since this is lemmy.
Liberals view poor as a failure of individuals, not society at large. Liberals hate the poor. Lemmy is liberal.
You need to lookup what liberal means, especially modern liberalism.
You're describing conservatism and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" bullshit, which is not lemmy in my experience. At all.
Also have three or four children to perpetrate the system, work for tips while studying, consume and save for your own retirement. And if you get sick, your whole family loses everything.
Oh, and be thankful you're in the best possible economic system and socialism is bad, so bad.

Remember maintaining a household used to be considered a full time occupation for 1 adult per household.
We need to bring that idea back and separate it from gendered labor. 1 adult's full time pay should always cover the cost of a home and family
Instead of that, we now have unaffordable housing, which forces you into serial tenancies. The rent prices are so high you need to live with one or more people. All of you must work to make the rent. Also there's a deposit, so you must somehow keep on top of the housekeeping, or you will owe money to the landlord. If that sounds unfair and ridiculous, that'll be because it is. But if you complain, you'll be the one that's crazy, because that's just the way the world works
That was also established back before dishwashers, laundry machines, refrigerators (so you can go shopping every couple weeks instead of every day), public school, etc. Modern conveniences streamline a lot of domestic tasks.
I still think a single income should support a family, but maintaining a household isn't as labor intensive as it once was.
The 1950s had basically all of that and the standard was still the same. Before that extended family households were more common and the labor was spread to multiple adults and children had more expectations

2 part timers should be able to work also
As long as the math adds up. Right now you need 40 hours a day to do everything yourself

Yes, it's possible, until you have kids.
capitalism
Everybody get a robot vacuum with a mopping function. It saves so freaking much time for me and my floors are always clean. Not that expensive any more, too. Black Friday had some great sales going on.
Friendly reminder that medieval peasants only spent 20-30 hours per week working the land.

Half the things you don't need to do daily.
And there are hundreds of other necessary activities that aren't listed here. What is your point? The point of the post is that this person (and many others) feel overburdened by the pressures and requirements of modern society. Pointing out that the specific chore of vacuuming doesn't have to happen every day isn't astute.
