Some work doesn't happen any faster despite worker productivity. The 40 hour work week isn't determined by the output, but rather by the income the worker receives. People are free to work 15-18 hours a week, but they don't.
- prolikewh0a 8y ago>People are free to work 15-18 hours a week, but they don't. I'm forced to work 40 hours per week no matter what I'm getting paid or I get fired, not sure how this is a 'choice'.
- Fjolsvith 8y agoExactly my point. You make the choice to engage at a job that doesn't allow flexibility. There's more than one job out there.
- metabagel 8y agoIn most cases, the employer establishes the hours worked. Working fewer hours would have to be negotiated with the employer.
- NeoBasilisk 8y ago>People are free to work 15-18 hours a week, but they don't. Not if you live in the US and want health insurance.
- Fjolsvith 8y agoThere's another supporting argument to my point.
