My contract
Is it? Or does it says that you are available for your work for 8h per day? Words matter a lot.
It always says 8 hour work day, doesn't it? I read that as being at work but not working 8 hours. Nobody can work 8 hours of actual work unless you love your job.
Blue collar jobs: am I a joke to you?
physical jobs are good till you hit middle age and the body can't keep up.
white colour jobs have a similar thing, younger people can thrive on the mental energy but the older i get the harder it is to mentally be "on the ball" the whole time . I think both white and blue collar jobs have different but comparable problems as you age. like sure I can pull a couple of full days if I need to, but burnout is real
My point is that blue collar jobs are often forced to work an actual 8 hours, under worse conditions for less pay, and this guy is like "oh man no one can actually do that, that sounds horrible".
