National socialists made 8 hour work shifts a standard copied by almost whole europe and they did it to reduce hours worked by an individual down from 12 or 16h. No matter what hours we work people will always complain. I would say we overall work less all over the world, not more, either way that's irrelevant, what is relevant is that no matter how long we work we can barely afford living, that's the real scam.

The powers that be just found another way to make us slaves after traditional slavery was abolished. I've always felt that the 40-hour work week was unnatural when I started work at 16. I remember being tired all the time on my days off and just not enjoying life anymore after I was expected to be an adult. That has continued happening to me, and I'm 38 now. Humans are like big predators, we are meant to work hard for short amounts of time and rest/socialize the rest of the time.

Millennial here, i work at a factory where hard work is the policy, but there's no reward for it. I've seen people who are Exempt meaning they're not paid overtime. They work A LOT! It's hard to describe to a lot of people that there's no point working harder. There's no extra money or respect. You can climb the C Ladder but that's not a given. I'm in the USA, and there's this idea that if you work your butt off everything will just work. Financial problems, marriage issues, mental problems, bad family, boredom, and so much more will be fixed by working harder. It doesn't work obviously, but everyone especially older people act like it does and ridicules my generation for not working harder.

I’m overwhelmed and exhausted. I have a 45m commute and don’t get home till nearly 9pm. I have to “slam” myself to sleep with otc meds so that I can actually sleep but still takes time to unwind. Hard for me to sleep. Finally after sleeping around 12:30am, I have to “slam” myself awake with caffeine and now prescription amphetamines (I do not recommend or condone that) but it’s been the only way I’ve been able to survive financially for the past 2 years (even with decent wage).

People just never questioned it , and the country has been limping along with it , until two things happened . Firstly , the internet , and rise of technology , 2ndly , the global pandemic hit , with all the lock downs etc . Now people actually had time for inner reflection as to WHY they are unhappy . Lock downs stop , people now know , they dont want to go back to that . ...ant they aren't . Its a passive revolt , people dont want to live at their jobs anymore , so things are breaking down , everybody is short handed , etc. We ( the US ) is stagnating , and if it continues , we will regress as a nation . We are now at a stage of developement , where we NEED the 20 hr / 4 day work week to survive going into the 21st century . Its a work week for the needs and world of TODAY , not 120 plus years ago . Have to remember , this is the same country that didnt abolish slavery , until 30 years short of the 20th century .

Families need to spend time together and at least one of the parents needs to be able to be home with the kids most of the time.

He banned usury, rent was no more than 1/8 your income, newly wedded couples could get debt free loans that equated 6 months of pay and if you had a child it would knock off 25% of it. He built approx 1.6million homes and it was mandatory that they had a garden, the people got paid for exactly how much labor they put in.

Like it or not, working as an employee is voluntary. If you can find another way to stay alive, nothing is stopping you. I personally find it preferable to starting my own company for now, though I am working towards it. But at no point is it slavery. The real slavery is taxation, both direct and through money-printing causing inflation. THAT is why we have to work 40, rather than 20 hours a week, or in other words, we could vacation half the year and still have the same we make now, roughly speaking. Your enemy is the state and its bureaucrats, and every single state employee and contractor and subcontractor of the state. EVERYONE taking money out of your pocket through the state is an enemy, a thief at best, in all honesty: a parasite draining away the time in your life itself.

Agriculture is a necessity because of higher population- but also higher population is only possible because of agricultural. It’s a cycle that feeds into itself. It might be true that a hunter gatherer life was less overall work, but it’s not a viable option anymore for the population at large. Agriculture while destructive in its own way gives us far more calories per square meter than nature can ever do naturally. If so many people were to suddenly rely on foraging and hunting to survive these days, we would be like a plague of locusts on the land and cause extinctions even faster than we are doing right now.

Now, in the year 2024, $100K USD a year, for 52weeks*25hours = 1300 hours worked in a year, $100K / 1300 = $76.9 USD in 2024 money, accounting for backwards inflation, $76.9 USD an hour today would have been $42.10 USD per hour worked today. So essentially, your hourly rate went up 180% in 24 years, or 7.5% per year if it was gradual.

the fiat currency you earn is constantly declining in value at an accelerating rate yet you must still work 40hrs/week. for most their pay raises to not match inflation so your time is being stolen. over 15-20 years a company is actually paying pennies on the dollar for an employee's services compared to their first year. IMO this is the root of the problem as opposed how much we work or how's it's structured/scheduled(but is still a problem).

I live in Australia. I find it surprising people work as little as 40 hours a week. My experience is, you are hired for 40hours a week, but in practice work 50-60 hours per week, with no overtime paid. If you do not do this, you will not pass probation. If you have already passed probation and refuse the unpaid overtime, you will be bullied until you leave.

This makes so much sense. I’ve always had a ton of energy and drive to work, then rest. A high output all the time just feels unnatural. Everything in nature has period of work/ growth/ rest then repair. The seasons are cyclical spring and summer are growth, fall and winter are dormant and restful. Building muscle is hard work (lifting weights) plus rest repeated over and over again. Planting a garden is hard work, then you wait and let things grow. Constant work and rigid structure is not the norm. You need work AND rest.

It’s even sucks more for single parents who’s partner isn’t in the picture anymore, even though some of us are able to get child support it’s sadly not a thing that all of us can get. As for my sons dad he signed away his rights since he didn’t want anything to do with us and only wanted to be with some other women who he was cheating on me with. And honestly to anyone who says “I don’t want kids” I don’t blame them, it takes a lot of hard work, lots of money, and with how things are these days it’s hard to find someone who would be loyal and happy enough to actually stay and help raise the kid/s.

Everything is supposed to be great. Except... It wants your life to revolve around the company. It brainwashes you into believing your colleagues are your friends. That working at the company for 20 years straight is the greatest thing. The grass isn't greener on the other side. All those frustrations you have about the codebase... It's not different elsewhere. Ambition to learn a new language or framework? The company doesn't need that modern stuff. People also play subtle power games. They set traps for someone they don't like. There's gossip everywhere. Cliques. Half-truths. Jealousy. Resentment. Spite. But also, women exploiting crushes men have on them.

Different historic sources say different things about working in medieval times. First of all agriculture work is not only with crops. You still have life stock which need year round attention. Peasants (in Europe) had quotas, which were assigned to the family. Usually quota was bigger than 40h a week - 60-80 (120 even). So it was split between family members. So women and children worked then too. Quotas have depended on the nobleman (basically owner of the peasants) so this might be totally different in nearby village. But ... what is funny, is that most of this "peasants were slaves" narrative was created during industrial revolution, to convince the workers that before peasants had it worse. Some historic sources claim what you claim, that peasants haven't been overloaded. But all of the sources agree on their diet which was terrible and they haven't owned much. But if we look around, we can see that revenue generated by "wage slaves" is so great, that everyone could have enough food, free healthcare, a shelter above his/her head and could work probably ~20h a week. But revenue split is so unfair that we have what we have. Also the level of greed of some psycho and sociopaths is so great which is the main driver of this shit.

Companies using this as an excuse to over work their employees, and drive their employees crazy, especially during the holidays.

I have done several different jobs, the past two years for a plumber on part-time and mowing and sniping grass on a 30 acres property. 20yrs previous in contract sales. The trade off being no real joy at work but good hourly $$ ,zero prestige,no boosting rights just dollars per hour, and being ok with less stuff than any of my friends, an older car, living in a shed/house pretty much one big room . Older furniture , clothes, white goods, not dirty just older , again small pride if a friend or family said " iam buying a new fridge do you want my old one " does it work better than the one I have, yes / no. Simple tastes ,swimming in dam ,camping on the river bank, walking in national parks ,steak fries and a coke . No tobacco only a few beers a week. What i have been chasing is time . The time out side of work to do things , fish and hunt when I was younger, photography and hiking now. I may not ever have a new house ,new car or new fridge but I am completely ok with that the time I have kept to do things rather than have things is worth it.

I would only like to emphasize a very important point here. The 40 hour work week only became a thing because people showed up and stayed at work for 40 hours a week. I feel like people always focus on the capitalists, and not themselves and their friends, family, etc. Individuals have just as big of a role in wage slavery as corporations. We live in a time of mass dependency, luxury and consumerism… People work more to improve their social standing and to gain recognition from peers. They do this because they do not feel an intrinsic worth in their own existence, so they latch on to the systems of society. This is a time where all people care about is the amount of dollars in their bank account and not the amount of meaning in their lives. This is what created the world we live in, and capitalists have only taken advantage of the slave-like, dependency of the population. I’m all for independence, but people need to realize that independence is cultivated and not freely given. It is a way of being, and it is not the easy route. It is not the comfortable route. It’s the harder, but more meaningful one.

One major thing you don't mention though, is that we also earn significantly more now than ever in history. And we do actually have the option to use some of that extra earnings to cut down on the time we work. That's what I've done, and I count myself as early retired since 3 years ago. I am now 40. I worked as a construction worker, and earned about twice as much as I needed in order to live a decent life. I would have preferred to work less than 40 hours a week. 30 would have been perfect. But that wasn't an option, so instead I saved and invested, until my investments were able to make returns large enough to support my life. I can now withdraw about half the amount that I used to get from working, and live my life the way I want to. And work significantly less that I used to. I work 10-20 hours per month on various things, that make me a small amount of money. The rest of my time is my own, and I use it for leisure and my passions. And I spend some of my time trying to educate people around me that they have the ability to do the same as I did.

Slavery was never abolished. It only evolved. Wage slavery simply affords you the pleasure of choosing who owns you. The factory I work in currently has a 40 hour work week but it's divided amongst 4 days. Most of those day, the work is so slow it's completed within 6-8 hours and management is pulling shit out of their asses to keep us busy. One day we were expected to sweep the PARKING LOT because there was no work to be done but we were expected to stay for another 3 hours. EVERY night, the doors are closed an hour before shift ends and all the employees sit in the break room zombified on their phones until it's "time to punch out." I'll never understand why we are expected to literally waste our lives away like that. If you're willing to pay me to do menial work or no work at all - pay me to do it at home where I can enjoy my life and my family!

Add in caring for children, and it would be far better if I could condense my 2-day 40-hour work week, then swap care of children with partner for their 2 days of work, and then still have 3 days off together every week. A problem with the Ford idea was that to my knowledge factories weren't checking their numbers against people who had less days of work per week (i.e. something to look forward to) but rather against people who were going to have a 12-hour shift every day until Sunday... sure, 8 hours is a sweet spot compared to that!

I am a woman and I work full-time because I have to. If I had a choice, I would stay home homeschool my children. It’s been way more time with them.

Tell your husband your wishes and encourage him to get into the trades. You won’t have to work anymore. That’s what my husband is doing as I told him I won’t have children unless I can stay home. I’m okay with working full time, but I’m not having a family I can’t raise.

Im a single dad. I've worked more than full time. But for what. My boss don't give D about my kids not seeing there only parent. I'm missing out on guiding and comfort my young sons, through their early years. The years where you as a parent build the foundation. A foundation I can't go back in time, too catch up. Or change faults I've done in the upbringing. Yeah, today with some monetary help from government. I work maybe overall 25-35 hour week. Less money. But still gold and diamonds given in the shape of time. For my kids and me

I work 80 hours a week at my own business, I offen think what am I doing with my life, sometimes it doesn't seem worth it. But most of the time I enjoy it, it seems like I'm going to have to work somewhere, might as well be for myself with mildly rewarding work. I always think I could easily sell off everything and escape. But that seems like such a gamble as well. I never see people who don't work very much living the life I wanna live

Work week is an individual decision; if you want to work 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 hours a week or more it’s the individuals choice. However you are required to have the appropriate surrounding environment that supports your work schedule. Think about how many hours you what to work then confiscate that appropriate work schedule.

There’s Hard Work, and then there’s Smart Work. They know that most don’t know the difference, and that’s because we were taught or conditioned to not know that there is a difference. Just work hard and you’ll make it, right? No. Smart Work is efficient work, Smart Work is efficient work in the right direction. If you only learn how to work hard not smart, you’ll be working hard for the rest of your life!

I totally agree with you on all of this... and making households depend on two parents needing to work outside of the home for 40+ hours a week. We were so blessed that the pandemic hit when my son was 2 to 4, so he had both of his parents at home and I can't imagine raising children in any other way. It's absurd that most kids don't get at least one parent at home with them let alone both! Feminism is amazing if it stops at creating truly equal opportunities for women across the board along with also equally celebrating women and men who decide to stay home and help raise a family. Almost every corporate job in the world is easier than parenting...and way less important, so it's a shame that society does not have that understanding built into it instead of everything being incentivized by profits! Sorry to hear that family drama continues...

The 40 hour work week is just the beginning. They want you to work 6 days and some 4 hours overtime on the base week. The purpose is not to hire extra employees. Once they paid you benefits for 40 hours they don’t have to pay any more benefits other than the hourly wage. They save money. All in their interest.

Back before the industrial revolution most people did not work for themselves, they toiled for their lords who took most of what they produced and had pretty much complete control over their lives. Add the fact that every other aspect of life was harder and far more difficult due to the lack of technology. I'll take modern life over that nightmare any day.

Seriously? Our great grandparents worked from sun up to sun down. I used to work approximately 12 hrs a day. These days it is unusual to not see work age adults lounging around the pool, in the shops, working out in the gym, or sitting in clusters of others sipping lattes in the middle of a work day.

I've worked on a sugarcane farm from sunrise till sunset, and as a cnc mechanist in two companies. The farmwork was the best i ever had. I was healthy and energetic at that time. The cnc work, on the other hand, brought me to a burnout. Even if it was just a 40 hour week.
