And plenty of students I know will work 12+ hour days

Liek b/w class, job, and homework

Again, that is insane

I used to pull 14 hour days when I was in school and work

Now I pull the same amount of hours working

I hope you can get something lighter, since that amount of time hardly leaves time for taking care of a family etc etc

I live alone with a cat

It's affecting my reading and sleeping

Working 14hr days

Is that even legal if someone hires you?

I used to do that between uni/working and the working several jobs.

Nowadays I'm on a standard 8-4.

Anyone asks me to work longer than that, I'm like "Lol, jog On."

I mean, I understand if the total time is the sum of several things like studies, work, homework etc

well, I imagine you can work 14 hour shifts.

Whether or not you're officially contracted for them is another question.

And a lot of companies have a waiver when you sign your contract that says they can ask you to work long hours in times of need.

eugenics are sinful

yes

@Mozalbete ⳩ it is, if it's on the pipeline or if a company is way behind

Aviation is known for this

I work in an aviation warehouse

It's either work 12+ hrs or 7 days a week for standard 8

It's why I want to get out soon

I hope there are at least good prospects

And that the salary is good

hmm

im writing a story that involves humanity returning to god

what should i call it

@Mozalbete ⳩ not in my position except management

I can apply for other areas but it'll take forever

And the pay isn't worth it

@Mozalbete ⳩ Do you live in the US?

Nope

Ah, yes, that explains why 12 hour days are insane to you...

The whole Protestant work ethic thing got universally imported into our culture

Euros wonder why US doctors get paid so much

Because the living cost is also insane

They have this nifty thing called residency where you work 80 hours/week for 3-7 years

Work ethic is to be able to work a normal amount of time

2 weeks vacation
