Why even have that? Full pay and one can just home. Its easy, just print more money. I am sure private business is perfectly ok with shouldering a 25% raise for everyone as well as 25% less productivity.
A friend of mine didn't think 2 days off a week was enough either. So he talked to his long-time employer about changing his work schedule and didn't get what he wanted.
I don’t even need three days off in a row and I’d be thrilled with another day even during the week. I’m in a bit of a funk lately but been exhausted with too much to do lately. I put a lot of pressure on myself to get things done. I’m going back to college and this six weeks I’ll have completed 2.5 masters level courses and got 100% on all courses so far. I have one last assignment to finish by March 26th or 29th. Still working full time and there’s a weekend or two in there I got up early both days so I’m getting exhausted.
I remember a year or so ago you said you were going to slow down. lol
Same
I’m working on it. I dropped my biggest landscaping customer and I’m only keeping two customers. They only call me like 3-4 times a year and they are both disabled. The one guy is rather poor and I allow him to pay me what he can. It’s always fair to me but that keeps him from calling me more than I want to work for him at this point. It works well. I’ll be done with my masters by December hopefully but I can’t keep this pace up over the summer or I’ll be miserable since I love to be outside. After that I can teach part-time but I can take or decline classes and do them when it works for me. Obviously there’s deadlines but it would be all online and I grade when I have time throughout the week.
Last two years I got a 5% raise total. Not 5% each year so I’m right there with you. They did give us a little bonus to try to lie to us and say it made up for the difference but nope and inflation hasn’t dropped so we’re losing money except maybe that one year.
When you add in the technology that’s assisting us maybe but that’s not the worker that’s the business.
I work with instruments and analyzers that produce better, faster results at a rate that was unheard of in the 1980s, forget decades before that. Automation, computerization, better manufacturing processes, etc, have indeed made it such that fewer people can exceed the work rate that it used to take many more people to do the same. Sure, there are lazy workers everywhere, but the tools at hand in today’s world make them more productive than their predecessors.
Don’t think of it as a “hard working, ass-busting” kind of productive worker. Think of it as a “don’t have to milk an entire herd of cows by hand @ 5am every day, then drive it to the customers and bring the empty jugs back and wash them for tomorrow” kind of productive. Different world, for sure. Think of the effect of the work done, not the effort to do it.
When the Democrats have achieved total control and domination, then THEY will have it all, and we won't have shit....THAT'S when it will end.When will the free shit revolution end?
