#fuck capitalism
6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.
this doesn’t apply to jobs like childcare
If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables
tumblr user possiblyfrogking somehow completely unaware of the concept of shift work
It applies more to jobs like childcare, elder care, and healthcare, where there should be 4 hour direct-care shifts with 6-hour supervisory shifts. That means quintupling staff and making sure that all of that staff gets the same or better pay to the current rate, and that’s how it should be.
The human brain cannot focus correctly on complex tasks for more than 4 hours, or simpler tasks for more than 6 per day. It can’t. That’s not how neurology works.
The fact that we’ve been conned into thinking the mostdifficult,highestvalue work tasks in the modern world (caring for those in need) should be done with the least regard for actual safety and effectiveness is obscene.
Capitalism fucking rots your soul, and convinces you that the most delicate and difficult work should be done by people too impoverished and exhausted to even see straight.
Shut the fuck up. Get a shorter work day and take a nap, then maybe you’ll be able to see how backwards that line of thought is.
In my childcare job we work in 9 hour shifts with an hour lunch break (so 8 hours technically but we’re there for 9) cause the nursery is open for 11 hours it would be MUCH better to work in 6 hour shifts cause guess what happens? Some of the workers get tired and end up snapping at the kids when they don’t deserve to be snapped at because they’re so exhausted. Make shifts shorter it’s more pleasant for the kids and the adults
