I am sure it is for the CEO but for everyone else it is endless crunch time.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 25 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Can’t wait for my rent to go down 40% with my salary

[–] greenbelt@lemy.lol 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

are you referencing the "housing crisis"?

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 3 points 14 hours ago

3 day week means they don’t pay you for 2 days.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 25 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What they're not telling you is that weeks will now be two days long and you'll owe your employer for that missing day.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Or you will need to pick up 3 other jobs to make ends meet. 3 days at slave camp 1, 3 days at slave camp 2 over lapping 3 days for slave camp 3

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Some of us may die but just think of all the value we're adding for the shareholders.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Silly me, I forgot about my only role about making the line go up, off to slave camp 4 :(

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't MS just put out a RTO mandate like a week ago? Sure they'll totally let people have 3 day work weeks.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Zoom was one of the first to do the RTO...while the CEO was not in the office.

... And while earning a shit-ton for being a meeting app far more reliable and even-sounding than fucking teams.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 12 points 12 hours ago

Are there still idiots listening to the masturbatory fantasies of CEO's?

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 14 hours ago

And the rest of us will be homeless and dead on the street.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Are people just gonna be paid for less hours?

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 3 points 16 hours ago

Well yes, but at an hourly rate.

[–] necrobius@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

Hahahahahano

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Narrator: They weren’t

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

This is hyperbolic bullshit. It’s also a warning that executives and their boards are doing their best to will us into permanent serfdom if they get their way.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's literally the only way for capitalism to keep going...

When there's not enough jobs to earn money for resources shit hits the fan.

To compensate for technological advances the standard work week needs to shrink while wages at least stay the same. That way there's more jobs.

It's literally the whole point of the Luddite movement when the auto look showed up.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

But what if our oligarchs just let 40% of us die, instead? Do they even notice a difference? They probably make more money.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 4 points 16 hours ago

The whole pyramid scheme requires the poor to buy things, and collapses when they don’t.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

Gotta boost the casket industry somehow.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 15 hours ago

some people are already working 0-day workweeks.

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 4 points 16 hours ago

So, distribution of surplus value is on the table, again.
