a newspaper article titled "The 4-Day Week is for White Collar Workers" dated March 2, 2023ALT

this article said everything out loud that I feel and stuff down when my salaried 9-5 friends talk about 4-day weeks or how universal remote work has changed their lives

text from the article reading "When a company cuts a salaried worker's hours by eliminating nonproductive work time, it is (rightly) called a victory for labor. When a company does the same to an hourly worker, however, it's called "just-in-time scheduling." While optimizing the percentage of work hours in which an employee is actually productive delivers more paid time off for the salaried worker, it leaves the hourly laborer with both less pay and a more unpredictable schedule."ALT

maximizing productivity is good with guaranteed pay! it gives leisure time! but when you’re paid hourly it just makes your life worse!!! and here’s why we should have universal basic inco-

another excerpt from the article reading "This is not to say that wage laborers have no desire for a better work-life balance. But those complaints aren't articulated by the demand for a four-day week and can't be addressed by the kinds of “win-win” changes highlighted by 4 Day Week Global's studies."ALT

last excerpt I promise but YEAH!!! acknowledge that different types of workers have different needs!!!! idk I get rly nervous reading 4 day work week articles and opinions bc so many people frame it as a final battle of sorts and like. you gotta get the 4 day work week and then you gotta start getting hourly workers guaranteed benefits and less volatile scheduling like….

Hourly workers need benefits and regular scheduling and an end to lean staffing BEFORE white collar workers need a fucking four day week

I’m a security guard, how do I teach my coworkers that they don’t need to worry about battle jacket punks and teenage cosplayers nearly as much as rich white boys and their moms

like no offense but if I have to remove a drunk racist from a 7-11 at 10:30pm on a Tuesday then I *know* BDSM Naruto and his boyfriend Karkat have my back, catch Archer and Tanner pocketing monster energy while the cashier is distracted

one time my boss pointed and said “watch that one” and I was like what do you know them and they were like “no but they’re weird, I don’t trust them” and I turned around and it was Komeida from dangan ronmpa

I just saw a post that was rightfully criticizing how trans men are often excluded from gay spaces and treated in transphobic ways, such as calling us women. I was interested in reblogging it. Then it ended with “I guess all cis gay men think about really is sex huh.”

This is garden variety homophobia, repackaged as a critique of transphobia. Gay trans men and gay cis men fuck. Happily! Often! Sex is not the issue with transphobic cis gay men, it’s the transphobia. You are not allowed to be bigoted towards people just because they are bigots, because there are no acceptable targets for bigotry.
