>> How many hours were you working a week?
This question immediately tells me the recruitment process is done on my side. The answer is hire more people.
As a developed society we need to make it illegal / strongly penalized to work more than 40h/week on average. Calculated monthly, no carry-over.
Children need our time, other activities beside work are needed in order to stay healthy.
Companies like to pick the most talented people with lowest selfesteam who will allow themselves being manipulated into working 60h weeks.
- sokoloff 6y agoDoes this require government intervention/meddling though? Or said differently, “what are the downsides of banning this?” Plenty of people prefer to work long hours (I know I did for two decades before having kids, as in genuinely enjoyed (almost all of) it.) I’m glad the government isn’t here with a clipboard telling me what I can and can’t do with my life at every turn. (I’m all for setting a max beyond which overtime must be paid to hourly workers (as now) and for setting reasonable caps that can’t be required by the employer to be exceeded, but if a worker wants to work long or hard, they should be able to choose that, IMO.)
