Only 40? Not if you’re salaried…

    Even if it's 40 hours (European Work Time Directive), it still takes up a significant portion of life with commuting to/from work in your own time, preparing for work and mentally recovering from work after.

    Definitely varies. A lot of employers expect 9-5 plus hours after work to the tune of more like 60.

    There's countries where that's illegal

    And there's European countries where the 13-hour shift as part of a 53 hour 6-day workweek is explicitly legal (🇬🇷). (Before overtime)

    Without taking into account commutes, rest, and an extra two hours (6*20mins) a week of unpaid "mandatory" break throughout the week, in the middle of your shifts. That no employer has forced anyone to work through, ever.

    Not to mention our friends, family and communities. It seems we cannot mildly inconvenience ourselves by boycotting. It’s a shame because we could take down several entities this way.

    I get back at them by hanging out here most of the day.

    And control the media they consume outside of those 40 hours .
