"No matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things fucking are, and you better get used to it, Nancy. Quit yer bitching."
6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.
this doesn’t apply to jobs like childcare
If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables
tumblr user possiblyfrogking somehow completely unaware of the concept of shift work
It applies more to jobs like childcare, elder care, and healthcare, where there should be 4 hour direct-care shifts with 6-hour supervisory shifts. That means quintupling staff and making sure that all of that staff gets the same or better pay to the current rate, and that’s how it should be.
The human brain cannot focus correctly on complex tasks for more than 4 hours, or simpler tasks for more than 6 per day. It can’t. That’s not how neurology works.
The fact that we’ve been conned into thinking the most difficult, highest value work tasks in the modern world (caring for those in need) should be done with the least regard for actual safety and effectiveness is obscene.
Capitalism fucking rots your soul, and convinces you that the most delicate and difficult work should be done by people too impoverished and exhausted to even see straight.
Shut the fuck up. Get a shorter work day and take a nap, then maybe you’ll be able to see how backwards that line of thought is.
I applied to over a hundred jobs today (fuck me, right?) and only one of them is like “hey what do you want your workweek to look like?
And I was just stunned. What do I want my week to look like? I’d love Fridays off. I’d love that. Please give that to me. Oh my God. I just.
Can we talk about med school? I wanna talk about med school and honestly most professional training, where the idea of “we’re going to drill you until you can do this when exhausted” is so strong. Like so so strong.
Cause we can hear all of your internal monologues that even you don’t listen to, and we chatter hysterically to drown out the noise of your hatred for us (plus feeling everybody else’s feelings for them all the time is like doing emotional speedballs). We can’t help it, so just shut up and hate us like you always do since we can hear your thoughts anyway (you have that nose ring ‘cause your mother didn’t love you, but we love you, we have to)
