Hurr Durr, I want to only work 32 hrs a week, and I want the business to pay me for 40 hrs a week, and I don't want this to apply to hospital workers, police officers, firefighters, teachers, construction workers, those who work in power plants, etc.....

I literally do get paid for 5 days work while working 4 in the medical sector. And no it shouldn't apply to everyone. My career required a degree and further study in my field. A retard can become a police officer and a chimp can be a construction worker. We are not the same.

No, you could never work in construction

Construction workers are twice as smart as you and work three times as hard

So yes, you are not the same

Which is evidenced by the fact that, the market rewards construction workers with remuneration that is multiples of your poverty income

You should have paid more attention in school

What’s delusional is acting like contracted/agreed hours directly translates to working hours.

There are innumerable people who work only 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 hours a week and get paid for 40 as per their contract.

If we’re to find solutions to anything we have to be honest about what is actually happening.

Having at least 1 day a week where you can go to bed without setting an alarm clock or thinking twice about having to wake up at a certain time is the most underrated thing in the world.

This. Tons of salaried office type employees work less than 40 but get paid for 40 hours a week. Tons of WFH people get paid for 40 but do maybe 4 hours of actual work the entire week. Lol at deciding we can't seek alternatives to the traditional rotation of working five 8 hour work days with two days off.

I WFH, the change in quality in my life has been insane. No more 1-2 hours total commute every day, eating better, sleeping better, feel so much better...it's honestly such an improvement over my previous office job.

The only people who dislike WFH are old and/or jealous people that don't have the option.

8am-5.30pm with a 1hr 30min commute each way, 5 days a week crew.

Nothing worse then shovelling dinner into your mouth at 10.30pm then straight so sleep.

Overtime tradie checking in. Only way to make 55-60hr/weeks work is to start work at 5-6am and finish at 4-5pm. If you can start and finish your day earlier than everyone, its less competition that eats up time (traffic, gym, shopping, ect).

5am-4pm 5x week
Work until mid afternoon Saturday
Have all day Saturday and Sunday to do whatever

I lift 5x week, run 5x week, get 7-8hrs sleep, and cook every meal I eat.
Still find myself with an hour or two to kill on Sundays after I've messed around with multiple hobbies.

Granted its a grind and not sustainable if you start adding kids, wife/serious GF, high maintenance social groups, ect.

Grind it out in your 20's, step off the gas in your 30's and establish a family, enjoy the fruits of your labor in your 40's. Nothing more sad than someone who didn't plan for life financially having to make sacrifices for their kids that grinds their body and soul to dust. Burnt out with gray hair at 40 because you didn't invest and work weekends in your 20's....SAD!

Then go find a job that allows this. We already saw what happened in California with you people and your progressive policies.

Not an attack on you red, just an example of how you can rack hours and still live a high caliber fitness lifestyle. Doesn't work if you drink heavy, drive to friends houses daily, stay up until 1am, ect. Not for everyone.

Right, work hard now so you don't have to later. Be a wage slave so you aren't one when real life catches up (kids, wife, parents needing you, large purchases). But keep scrapping by in your early years so can continue to keep scraping by in your later years, smart plan homie.

Heres something to consider. Some of us have enough discipline and foresight to choose the right career path and get a job that they actually enjoy. Im on the clock miscing right now. And when I get back to work its a podcast, walking and chemistry. Easy and sustainable. Try it sometime.

Greater flexibility in working arrangements is the way forward. It blows my mind how many people believe there’s seemingly ONE perfect way of working that will suit everyone.

Having said that, greater flexibility opens the door to greater abuse, and this is the main “weakness” of flexible working. I think the reason most CEOs and businesses wanna prescribe a particular working arrangement is not because it maximises productivity, but rather because it cuts down on people potentially taking advantage of them.

The problem is actually very similar to what we have with the educational system. Formal education is pretty standardised across the whole country, but for every person it works well for there is another person it doesn’t suit at all.

Don't mind Dave, any mention of WFH makes him seethe, most likely due to jealousy about it being unheard of when he was a young guy but also that his job is one of those that it wouldn't be an option for anyway.

Oh for sure, don't gemme wrong there's people who prefer being in-office all the time or more than a flexible/WFH role might have them do. I'm talking the people who legit hate even the concept of it, it's just jealousy.

Why would I want to work from home? I actually like my co-workers, and I don't have to commute to work. It also shows how "essential" your job really is.

It's funny how all this environmental crap and nobody will adopt fewer day workweek and stagger times better for less traffic. It's always funny how they only want policies that cost you money and decrease your freedoms while instituting move government control.

This is truth. I'm old and I love work from home. Quality of life goes up so much without the drive to and from work and wasting time on your lunch hour when you could be either working out at home or getting chores/errands done. I get more and better sleep. There are people at my company who choose to go in 5 days a week during all this time. That's great for them if it's what they prefer, but those of us who don't need to be there and don't want to be there shouldn't be forced back in. Especially not when you've gotten great reviews and nothing but praise for your work while you were home for 2 years. Also for those that say people who work from home aren't working, we have production and quality standards to meet, so I'm not sitting here twiddling my thumbs all day or out running errands during work hours. I'm at my desk in the spare bedroom working.

And there it is, the seething begins.

I also like my co-workers - we all get on really well and meet up regularly - so that's a moot point. In terms of not having a commute I assume you're referencing being a beat cop and your job basically being driving around all day? Well that's covered by me saying how WFh wouldn't be an option for you anyway.

And yes, my job isn't essential because I don't work in construction, medical care or the army etc - but that's pretty irrelevant since it still pays pretty well and has a lot of room for progression. I'm sure that one day AI will supplant roles in the finance sector, but until that time I'll keep collecting my money for doing it from home - how weird you'd bring up a job being essential or not as some kind of insult, just proves my point that WFH makes you seethe.

Doesn't make me seethe, who wants to be home all day? And I don't have to deal with a commute because it only takes me about 15 minutes to get to work, sometimes 20.

And didn't your job require you to get the Rona jab? Or did you do that willingly all on your own?

That's great, man, although that's still 30-40 minutes out of your day when taking into account going to/coming from work, which isn't much but is about half of the average. My previous job had me spending anywhere from 60 (low end) to 90 minutes per day commuting in total; a friend of mine even had a 90-120minute commuteone way. Now my commute's 0 and I get to use that time extra time for exercise, reading...literally whatever I want. There's 5-7 hours extra for me in the week now because of the new job, it's so much better and everyone I know who's also able to WFH agrees.

Yeah you ain't set off by the idea of people WFH, just sneering about whether my job's essential or not and then making jabbie jibes at me lol

And nope, my previous job didn't require it and never got any either.
