40% of his pay. They don't pay workers the full value of their labor... that would be ridiculous! Communism, even!

There's another 30% that goes to non-cannibalistic regular pedophiles.

Because it said pay and not value?

It varies by industry, but generally you are correct.

I used to work nearly 100 hours a week in my early 20s. It was going to kill me for sure, but 50-60 hours a week isn't uncommon sadly

Um, this is fairly normal in the US.

Not saying it's right or good, but, yes.

America. It fucking sucks here

I mean technically, if you commute 90 minutes in a direction per day, along with a five-day 40-hour week, you spend 55 hours on work a week

And while 90 minutes may be far fetched in most parts of europe hopefully, I kind of suspect it isn't in the land of the free

i knew someone in CC that did 12hr/day for 5-6days a long time ago. not surprised he burned out of his major, and switched to a more "chill major", because your own job overtook your time from studying. never try to do full time work, while full time student, you just end doing really bad on most of your classes. the rent at the time was pretty reasonable for and lucky he even found one at a HCOL like under 1000/mon rent at the time. he was trying to save for an expensive grad school in the future, but had a "eiphany' and 180 his career choices, to a 'Easier" but questionable job market job(degree)

That's the construction life baby~ 💅

You are assuming a 5 day work week apparently...

'Murica!

Not all jobs, but yeah they exist. Working on films/TV production is often 60+ hr work weeks.

Because it's a single-panel cartoon in which they need to convey an entire concept with only one picture and a few words. TL;DR Cartoons aren't real.

just came home to sit down tired?
