Part-time bashing in the Sonntagszeitung

  1. I could easily do my workload in 31hrs/week or less, but hey if my bosses boss wants me to ~~work~~ kill time in the office/HO then I’ll gladly do that

    Edit: Them to time

  2. Hahahahahahha oh sorry am Staat gaht chli Geld dur de Lappe

    Vielicht sött mer mal was ade astelligs bedinngige mache

  3. Boomer opinion.. just because they didnt have the balls to change shit when it was their time…

    Adapt to the new workforce provide interesting benefits or just die out quick…

  4. If you break it down to a simple education costs/tax income calculation the “expert” might be right. But that’s a pretty simplified view..

  5. This just shows how people don’t understand the concept of freedom and capitalism. In a capitalist system, everyone is free to decide their economic actions but they also carry the consequences. Want to open a business? Sure pal, but you are responsible if it fails. Wanna work only part-time? Go ahead, buddy, but you will get a lower salary as a consequence.

    I notice how a lot of people get infuriated by this concept as soon as it doesn’t work in their favor. And their reaction? Take people‘s freedoms away! Use authoritarian measures like forced labor and forcefully change their behavior. Even though they did not commit any crimes and just dared to have a different outlook on life than them.

    And why are these people never asking stuff like: Why are people not working full time? Maybe the economic system we have build doesn’t provide any incentives to work full time? I mean, I personally barely see a reason to work anyway. Just look at the prices of childcare and property. I basically know that I will never be able to earn enough money to afford a family or a place to live. I will go to work for what exactly? To pay rent? To be able to buy basic necessities? I could get that on welfare as well.

  6. Maybe we should be all live in work camps and eat nothing but domestically grown potatoes and pork so our poor poor government agents can make vacations in the Alps

  7. Government : has one of the smallest spending in Europe on child care, resulting in huge kita prices. Plus uses system from last century, with school lunch breaks to be done at home

    Women: reduce workload to reduce kita costs and accommodate schooling

    Media: why is everyone working part time?

  8. Proud to work only 25 hrs a week on average. My education was paid for by my country of origin. I have paid taxes the last 20 years without having a vote. So they can suck it with their complaining.

  9. Funny to see this while it the last year it was always discussed that working part-time enables couples to have a family and still work and thus working part-time should be easier, especially for men.

  10. Ausbildungskosten zurückzahlen 💀Möge dem Experten sein gipfeli hart und sein ☕️ nach Wasser schmecken

  11. Whatever you do, there’s always someone who tells you it’s wrong. Work 55+ hours weekly, pay your taxes, shut up and keep going… and then we wonder why there’s people with a complete burn out and crippling depression at not even 30 years old. Fuck that.

  12. What about all the highly-educated EU people who work here, pay taxes, and to whom Switzerland did not spend a penny educating them? What does the “expert” have to say?

  13. The funny thing about this shite “analysis” is that barely 20% of the Swiss workforce study. We give our life to work. The hours we do compared the the countries around us are way higher. I truly hate the media for creating shitbag headlines to stir up drama, all on the cap of the hard working people who sustain this economy

  14. Ah dann werden sicher auch Gelder an die Länder der vielen gut gebildeten Migranten in Teilzeit rücküberwiesen. Beziehen sich die 31% auf die Bevölkerung der Schweiz? Was wenn ein Schweizer im Ausland zum Beispiel einen Master gemacht hat? Spannend

  15. The thing he considers problematic is a little more nuanced than simply part time. In his view, it’s predominantly people with tax-funded expensive degrees who choose to go part-time, thereby paying less taxes. But he thinks those taxes are actually part of the deal of funding their education publicly. So the way he sees it, a cashier can’t go part-time, but their taxes fund a doctor’s decision to do so.

    Regardless whether you think this is an actual problem, I think the proposed solution is ridiculously complicated. How about trying something simple first, like individual taxes for married people?

  16. If there’s work to be done, it will be done. One full-time, two part-time, whatever. If there isn’t enough work to be done for a full-time job, the state surely should not try to make businesses pay for a full-time job.

  17. To add to the other posts that already debunk this lunatic’s bullshit, it’s also appaling that more men working part time (mostly to support their spouses in child care) is now a **BAD** thing and that we should punish people for making personal choices like how much they want to work.

  18. I work at 80% so that I can have the Friday “free” that I use to learn new stuff, do research etc. Actually most of my work during the rest or the week comes from that day, because I can do what I want without pressure and on my own terms.
    It also increases my value in the market, since I had the time to research my solutions.
    I would gladly accept to get paid for it but I don’t think my company would like that.

  19. Zero invest in future tax payers, yet only complaining. The swiss government invests more in cows then in families with kids!
