Anyone just get mad emotional and low key ready to cry when you are heading into work because you are so exhausted working 8 hours a day? I wouldn't work 8 hours for myself if i was self employed so why am I doing it for someone else?
Yep. Also isn't it strange how every job fits into 8 hours of work every day?
I fucking wish, I’m stuck doing 11-12 hours a day. It’s bullshit.
I don’t mean this as some shitty “my job sucks more than yours” flex, more just to point out that we’re all getting fucked a little differently
What would you prefer 5 x 5 hour days or 3 x 12 hour days? Or or 4 x 6 hour days? Keep in mind you get paid for your 5 x 11/12 at the moment so you would have less money

This is relatable in a painful way.
Klaus Schwab approves your commitment to further helping the economic growth of the bourgeoisie while throwing your life away and accelerating environmental degradation.
Back to work!
Yes, when leaving my back is to my work.
Thank you, for your service. I appreciate your sacrifice.
Signed, shareholder.
I just did that by quitting my job!
Women asked for this. No, they demanded it. Even if it came at the cost of making it harder for men to find jobs.
And what galaxy-brain take would you offer if it were a man in the photo with an identical caption?
Is it just me or does it smell like whataboutism in here?
Women DID fight for the right to be able to do this. That’s not a conspiracy theory. They insisted on it.
This person is just a dumb troll, I've seen and reported them on other posts. Everyone ignore please.
If you like comfortable echo chambers and rigorous banning of people you don't agree with, why don't you just stay on reddit?
That's not a novel or interesting idea. Having low grade shit shoveled onto the platform has no impact on "echo chambers".
Why don't you make an actual argument instead of calling mine "low grade shit"?
Just because you found what I said offensive doesn't make it any less true.
Why don't you make an actual argument instead of calling mine "low grade shit"?
Because your statement really is low grade shit and you're obviously not interested in an actual discussion or debate.
Just because you found what I said offensive...
Lol, you're giving yourself too much credit. I doubt anyone is offended by your shitheel low effort trolling. Don't confuse people calling out your stupidity with people being offended by your stupidity. You're not that clever.
doesn't make it any less true.
"women fought for the right to work" may be a factual statement on its own, but it's entirely irrelevant to the context of the OP.
“I called your argument shit because it IS shit.”
Yeah, sorry, I don’t buy that. That’s like telling a battered woman you beat her because she deserved it.
You’re just excusing your own verbal abuse on the grounds that it was necessary because what I said has upset you, but you’re unable to articulate why.

Who gives a shit. This meme is for everyone. Men, women, fucking everyone. Your idiot shit take is meaningless, is what I’m trying to say, because there was no intent to make it about women. You made it about women, and nobody fucking asked.
Okay, well, that explains why you're upset about it.
Women fought for equal rights - for being allowed to do the same things men were, without restriction. Have careers, live their own lives, be equal before the law, not be relegated to the role of housewife/childbearer by default and without being given a choice.
This meme is not about that. It's not even about women. It just happens to have a woman in the photo. This meme is about big businesses routinely and with impunity exploiting their workers. Nobody ever fought for the right to be exploited. Of course, I don't expect someone with a user name like PepeLivesMatter to understand that kind of nuance.

I think most people would still find freedom with downsides more desirable than a comfy cage.
Don't forget the domestic abuse!
The cage did not appear to be that comfy even.
Though situations were better in terms of wages. Once women entered the workforce they cut wages to account for that. Turns out they weren't paying an individual what they could get away with, they were paying a household what they could get away with.
That's not on women, though.
Not quite. They didn't cut wages, they just didn't raise them as fast, and it wasn't a conspiracy, but just the result of vastly more people entering the workforce. If you have more people competing for the same amount of jobs, you can get away with paying them less.
