Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I would suck multiple dicks in a row to get 32 hour work weeks instead of this bullshit global random work hour salary shit. No I don't want to fucking hop on a call at 3am.

Sucking dicks is always an option. If your vocation is your vacation, you'll never work a day in your life!

Monetizing your passion can really suck the joy out of it though

Unfortunately this wouldn’t really affect most salaried employees at all. Being on salary in most situations specifically excludes you from overtime pay, and this is just changing that threshold for people who are eligible for overtime pay (generally hourly employees and those with strong unions). I’m all for it, but a different push needs to be made to ensure that being on salary doesn’t just mean “your life is ours whenever we ask for it”

I mean, the 32 hour work week is a nice bonus to the usual Friday night, sure.
