2 hour of commute + 8 of work is basically 10 hours away from home
10 hours + 8 to sleep + 2/3 to do chores = 20/21 hours of your day, so you have max 4 or 3 hours to ““enjoy”” (you will just unwind from work and enjoy little or nothing) and this is without counting overtime work to meet the end of the month
FUCK EVERYONE WHO WANT THIS!
We deserve way better!
2 hour of commute + 8 of work is basically 10 hours away from home
Forgetting the hour lunch that isn’t paid, so to get your time you spend 2 hours commuting, 8 hours working, and 1 hour “on break”, so that’s 11 hours of your day gone just because of work. With sleep, you are already down to 5 hours to do literally everything else your life requires. Grocery shopping, home/car/lawn maintenance, budgeting/planning bills, etc. God forbid you have kids and you have to figure out how to keep another human alive in that 5 hours on top of keeping yourself alive…
If you feel strongly enough about that, you need to do what the organizers did to get to that 8 hour day: organize workers to form powerful unions, then go on strike, survive confrontations with the police where many people die, keep battling for several decades, and then eventually your shorter work day will maybe become a reality.
Getting to an 8 hour work day required a lot of blood to be spilled. I personally doubt that today’s workers are motivated enough to put in the work and sacrifice required.
8 hours of work is too much

See, the commute is meant to be counted into it… xD
