What we need? We need a 4-day, 32-hour work week with livable wages.

There is no reason that people need to be working this much.

People need time off to rest and spend with family and friends.

What we get? 40+ hour work week. Commutes. Low wages. Don’t get me wrong.. I grateful to be employed. But things have to change

Most of the time the “tough environment” and “long hours” were avoidable and caused by mismanagement. Now we get that and more.

We are in a creative and collaborative business. You can’t always get to good work in 32 hours a week. Or even 40. If you want regular hours do something else. Or else we can outsource everything to AI and see what happens.

Think if you gave people the option to work less, they'd say, "for me, the action is the juice"

People love exploiting themselves and wearing it as a badge. In this industry, having a hobby isn't as valorized as working over the weekend. sad!

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
