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

Then you finish it and work 60 hour weeks

Doctors also have to work for huge amounts of time here

And residents make ~80000/year

Gotta pay dem burgers

b o r g a r hour

Yee, but US residency is much more intense

Euro countries have regulations on working hours and conditions for residency

Residents used to work 90+ hours

But that got knocked down recently to 80 like ten years back

If you did plastic surgery residency, they had this shift of training for a few months called Trauma where you could work 36 hours straight and 120 hours in a week

They decided that was bad cause "muh doctor is tired."

Then they made it so you can't work more than 24 hours straight in residency

What a luxury

And then cases turned out worse because you didn't have the same surgeon for consecutive operations

So it actually worsened the health care

Yes, of course, the best way of having the same surgen for several operations is perpetual work
