Ever since I graduated, everywhere I’ve worked has been 8-5. My current company is going to soon start expecting us to be in 7-5.

How many of you here work a 9-5 with a paid lunch?

Productivity keeps going up but so do working hours.

    Salaried employment exists, and there are more jobs out there than they want you to think. The employer-employee relationship is a constant negotiation, and you’re always free to walk away.

    We don’t know how much time we have on earth, and you’re selling some of it in exchange for money.

    They are going to keep pushing to get more of your life from you, and you need to push back to keep as much as possible.

      you’re always free to walk away.

      Yeah, and die of starvation or exposer, which ever comes first…
      Maybe take a look around at the reality most people face before giving such out of touch advice…

        If your choices are between working one specific job or starving then you owe it to yourself and your family to improve your marketable skills or value

        If you’re really only able to work for one particular, shitty company. You might want to invest in yourself. Learn a trade or read a self help book.
