I’m at 68 hours this week.

One salaried FT job (which, tbh, requires more than 40 hours most weeks and requires me to buy my own supplies. Also I’d lose it and get death threats if people knew I was LGBT!)

2 part time jobs that vary from 20-30 hours together each week.

I’m exhausted. I’m burnt out. I was thinking earlier about how nice it would be to get injured in a car crash and just sleep in the hospital all week.

I’m a single adult. I don’t understand how people do this with kids.

Sounds like my life in my 20s (minus the LGBTQ). Unlike the current pile that we all had like so easy. What happened is that we eventually paired up so two people were paying the bills and we eventually got paid more and built equity and now 40 years later retirement is looking like a viable option. Certainly didn't feel that way 40 years ago.

Anything over 60 is too much. I will do it on occasion if it calls for it. But 50 is perfect for my liking and life.

Anything over 35 is too much.

Yeah exactly, I'm hearing americans almost brag about 60-70 hr workweeks (excluding commutes) and that just sounds insane to me. Like, when do you live? When do you do hobbies, enjoy nature, or go out with your partner? Can't do it with like 2-3 hours you really have left after an 11 hour work day.

Humanity would be perfectly capable of establishing a 30 hr workweek if capitalists didn't suck out every last drop of human labor from us.

100%, I wfh and it’s a game changer plus I don’t work a lot of hours

Productivity is so high that 30 hr was doable 20 years ago. Nowadays we could mostly get away with a 24 hr week.
