What can I do? Should I forward this to my employer?
- coldtea 8y agoNo, unless you live to work, you should demand your right to a balanced life without having to point to scientific literature on the benefits of sleep. Even if it wasn't stolen sleep (say we needed no sleep, and the day had only 16 hours), constantly overworking would still be lost time (with family and friends and me-time) that you would never recover.
- haskellandchill 8y agoWe work to live. It’s not our employer’s fault we are broken people.
- coldtea 8y agoIt is when its imposed upon people. It's not like everybody self-elects to "work to live". Especially when they're just a cog doing a BS job just to pay the rent and feed their family, not full-filling their entrepreneurial or creative or other dreams through it... (And the culture and glorification around working to live has a lot of employer influence in it).
- haskellandchill 8y agoI hope nobody self-elects work to live. It is miserable!
- hadrien01 8y agoWhy would you forward this to your employer?
- coldtea 8y agoNot the parent, but so they'd let them sleep longer.
- afarrell 8y agoMaybe. Depends on your employer. To what degree are they responsible for how you spend your time?
- coaxial 8y agoChances are that if your employer demands you give up your rest time to satisfy some business need they have, they don't care about your well-being at all; and showing them this article won't change their mind. You'd be better off working somewhere else.
- Ancalagon 8y agoDefinitely look for a new job.
