suicide? appreciating the good moments of the day without thinking about the wider hell you’re in, somehow?
I join whatever new labor movement forms and sharpen my guillotine.
I buy a fucking guillotine.
Buy stock in guillotine companies.
You short-sighted investors are piling in on guillotines, meanwhile I’ve been snatching up shares in pitchfork and torch companies with strong fundamentals for pennies on the dollar.
I’d think that you’d make more on the guillotines. The margins should be higher. No profits on torches.
The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don’t need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.
Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?
My guillotines have DRM, non user serviceable parts and a mandatory service contract - cough - I mean you get free IoT and smartphone integration.
If you sharpen it youself, warranty is void.
I don’t know. I mean you can reuse a torch or you can make your own.
In this throwaway, instant satisfaction society? It’s all about the price point. And the marketing.
That seems counterproductive.
Guillotine demand goes up, guillotine production company stocks go up, guillotine production owners become rich, guillotine production millionaires felled by their own designs.
Hmmn, maybe petardes would be a better choice.
I’ll start a mobile sharpening business. Sell shovels to prospectors and all that.
Don’t give money to Big Guillotine, build your own.
I stop working altogether.
For real. That’s what happens. When I am in serious overload, I get kinda blocked and cannot achieve anything anymore.
But also on a global level, I think it would break down most workers quite soon.
Or just don’t comply with it ?
I mean no one uses fucking iso8601 and they never get brutally murderd anywhere near often enough.
Good point, I should start murder more people who don’t use iso8601… It’s about time!
I mean they should be using rfc3339 as it is an open standard unlike the iso.
Call in sick 3 days a week.
You think they’d be offering sick days?? I think you’re bound for the camps if you can’t keep up. Oh shit… This is starting to sound familiar…
Join the global strike that would inevitably happen.
Ain’t nobody got time for a strike. I gotta feed my kids and pay my rent
you could always pirate your food from your local big box grocer.
“you wouldn’t download an Asparagus.”
I’ve been hearing about a 4 day work week but haven’t heard anyone talking about 7 days.
I picture country-wide strikes, even for non-union workers.
Suicide. I’m dead already if I’m working 7 days a week
I invent the 10 day week.
With 7 working days, I think we might need a 13 day week.
Bingo!
Usual workday is 8 hours, you can fit 3 of those in one day. So We can go to 21 days a week!
Try to move out of China.
They literally have 6-7 day work weeks, 10-12 hours a day.
Fucking brutal.
It’s called a wildcat strike
The longest I ever did it was 5 weeks straight working 12 hour nights too. Everyone thought I’d quit, but I ran circles around them.
Everyone basically gets way less productive, especially with any physically strenuous activity. It’s like you/your body knows full recovery is not an option. You don’t get more done, you’re just there when shit hits the fan.
I personally adjusted just fine. It is no different than slavery. All labor is technically wage slavery. I owned my own business before and after that job. Owning your own business is no different. The line between your life and your business is irrelevant when it is your own business, especially if you have employees.
Small acts of rebellion. Take extra long breaks. Automate parts of my job and then don’t tell anybody that I did it. Break some shit on purpose and act like it was an accident. Steal as much stuff that isn’t nailed down as possible. The list would go on, but I’d honestly have no idea what I would actually do in that situation.
I’m certainly not giving it 100% at whatever job I’m working at. I would say form a union, but that’s hard to do when you are working for 56 hour workweeks plus commute, not including overtime. That’s assuming the 7 day workweek remains 8 hour shifts rather than moving down to something like 6 hour shifts with an unpaid lunch break.
