Is it pretty common for people to work 60 hours to pay the bills? I’m not disagreeing with you — no one should have to work that much — i’m just saying the way they worded it as if “we all work 60 hours” seems strange, but maybe i’m just ignorant and the odd one out.
It’s not uncommon for people 20-45osh to work over 40hrs especially over 40 hours at 35 hr part time jobs which leaves then working 70hrs a week and still not qualify for employer insurance or benefits.
Thank you! That’s definitely not cool, if you work around 40 hours you should be set, and if you CHOOSE to work over that you should be, well… MORE than set. Hopefully we can get these kinds of changes made… just need to kick out the MAGA trash that has a stranglehold on this country first.
Well to be fair it’s the thought that it’s a Republican issue, it’s not. Both parties are ran by business monsters and lean right and center right respectively.
I’d say yeah because even if you make enough money to live comfortably(100k usd), the type of jobs that are employing you at that rate are going to squeeze every dollar value out of you. I’ve been doing 60+ hour weeks for about two years now thanks to my first six figure job.

They say this like EVERYONE is working 60 hours, like some kind of… reverse strawman? Weird statement to make.
NO ONE should have to work 60 hours to meet those goals.
