It isn’t normal anymore

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

The 8 hour workday needs to go. I don’t think it should be un-invented, but it definitely needs to go to hell. It just doesn’t make sense anymore and it is not sustainable.

The original 8-hour workday was revolutionary and it worked because there was someone at home taking care of everything while another person was working. That is no longer the way people live so we should no longer work 8h a day or we should at least have shorter work weeks.

When I first started working a job after university, I was still living with my mom so I didn’t feel the impact that hard, but the last 4 years have been difficult. When am I supposed to get everything done? Even if I get everything done, I am completely burnt out and I often have to sacrifice my sleep.

This has to be un-invented. If the 8 hour workday was revolutionary, now we need something that will be revolutionary again because this DOES NOT WORK!
