nah cuz wtf

8 hours of working means 2 hours preparing/ driving, if we wanna sleep for 8 hours, which means only 4 hours for personal matters.

If we're gonna live like this for the rest of our lives, day by day sold.Which means companies have bought our life w money.

This is not just about employees; how productive are you gonna expect from an exhausted employee?

Why dont just give us enough rest time so everybody gets what they want?

Here is my idea: we could have work days and rest days on a rotating basis. I prefer Mon, Wed, Fri to be working days, and Tue, Thu, Sat and Sun to be rest days. In this way, we could have enough rest and work on our personal matters before continuing to work, without cutting the consecutive days off(Sat-Sun).

Or: having a shift system by splitting into morning shift and night(afternoon) shift, rather than making tons of ppl siting in the office for the whole day with little tasks. Such as 9 to 1 and 1 to 5 shifts.

Anyway, these are just my personal thoughts; let me know about anything I overlooked, or if there are any better ideas

This “deferred resignation” program (nicknamed Fork in the Road) covers roughly 6.7% of the civilian federal workforce. These employees are being paid through the end of 2025—often while sitting idle. Critics warn the government is spending $21.7 billion in taxpayer dollars on this initiative, with little transparency around long-term savings.

Tens of thousands of seasoned professionals will hit the open market. Most mid‐career, specialized, and with government-only experience.

How many of those roles will transfer into the private sector? Will employers devalue traditional public‑sector credentials?

So my company offers unlimited PTO which we all know is a scam but I’m aware of this and use my time with discretion. I don’t take two or three weeks off in a row. For instance this month I’m taking no time off and last month I took off three days. Anyhoo I recently submitted time for the next few months totally 6 days. I got an email stating I had reached a “limit” of 30 days and that any request going forward may need further consideration from HR and senior leadership. Mind you I have not requested 30 days I’m currently sitting at 19. I’m completely confused by this as I have never heard of this process and sure enough there is no mention of limits in the employee handbook only to use your PTO with discretion which I’ve done. I’m rather frustrated because it seems as if the goal post keeps shifting on my team and company as a whole as of late.

I just sit in a desk for 8 hours, creating value for a company making my bosses and shareholders rich, I watch the clock numerous times a day, feel trapped in the matrix or the system, feel like I accomplish nothing and I get to nowhere, How can people survive this? Doing this 5 days a week for 30-40 years? there’s a way to overcome this ? Without antidepressants
