Why are Americans obsessed with working 80 hours a week? Shouldnt we work less as we progress as a society? And please don't give me any Faustinan, muh work ethic crap because we don't build anything anymore

Protestant work ethic is still very much alive despite spending 3/4 of that time doing nothing productive. It’s doublethink in action

It's the Protestant Work Ethic psyop, which has been used to make corporations richer without the billionaires actually having to do anything. Work, sleep at your overpriced apartment, repeat. It's willful slavery at this point.

my coworker would frequently mock me because i chose to only work 32 hours a week instead of 40. ive got hobbies and shit i work on outside of work and i don't want my whole life to be about work. if i really needed the money then i'd probably work 40 hours a week

The only reason the work week didn't naturally decline for most is due to the parasitic fiat banking system. We're actually moving backwards we're getting fleeced so much.

This a lot of blue collar jobs incentivize working yourself to death too. My job pays doubletime for anything worked over 12 hours in a day, and pays doubletime for working 7 days in a row.

My dad told me not to work for a utility company that pays well and has good benefits because “they don’t have any overtime!” As if I want to work more than the already excessive 40 hours a week I’ve been cursed with.

It’s really sad people waste their lives away like that. I work with some electricians who have nice houses and big families. Sounds cool and all until you notice them talking about working 7 days a week and spending 10+ hours a day on a job site. What’s the point of having a big house you only sleep in and a big family you never see? All of that to never enjoy it? Makes no sense.

He literally told you it's the bankers.
Take your retard logic back to 1848.
It is absolutely insane how your type of leftoid doesn't realize that the high finance bros are even less worthy of workers' sweat than le bourgeoisie.
But no, you stay running cover for trillionnaire bankers while blaming small business owners as "the real greedy ppl".

The concept was invented in a board room in pre Richard Nixon…Want to say roughly around the middle of the Industrial Revolution. Anyways, it’s turned into a massive psy op campaign from big businesses to keep people working their prime years. In movies, songs it’s all about keeping the sheep in check.

Fun fact: “fire exits” were forced by the government because businesses didn’t want to do it. The change came about after to many people died in buildings without having the means to escape
