8 hours labour + 5 hours labour related activities.
What about the decades of progress? Technology? Automation? AI?!
We should have 4 day work weeks of 32 hours. Retire at 60. Live to 90.
Since 1886 the workers and the employees **earned the right** to work **ONLY** 8 hours a day.
**137 years ago. Human Evolution.**
21 hours combined labour and recreation reading work emails facebook and booking holidays on your phone all day and way into the night when you should be asleep.
Reality:
10 hours at work, even if you completed all your tasks early.
4 hours commuting, because you can’t afford to live anywhere near your workplace.
2 hours of still answering emails and phonecalls from home, because your boss doesn’t understand boundaries.
6 hours sleep, if your stress headache will even let you.
2 hours of getting up and ready to do it all again.
Where do you sign up for this 8 hours labour? I have yet to experience this.
22 hours of Labor in finance
My work is 8 hours and I work 8 hours and not a minute more, but I wish I could have a shorter work week. Even 32 hours seem like too many in this day and age, where does all the money generated by automation and machines and productivity increase go?
Productivity has increased in the last decades yet our salaries have not, not to the same extent at least. We’ll need a worker’s revolution, sooner or later

That’s still too much work
