So.. why stop at 5? Under that logic it would be better for the janitor if we worked 7 days a week. I mean the bike shop would close because I don't have time

I mean the bike shop would close because I don't have time for biking.
Tourism would suffer because I never get in my car and visit the local spots.
Heath care would benefit, because working more means more heath problems. Mental health too.
When you see everything through the "come over here and work" lens, you forget that life isn't about work. I don't go to the office so the coffee shop can stay open. That's a silly argument to make.
The minimum wage thing. I agree with. It won't raise nearly as fast as it should. But I can with no doubt say, me working in an office 5 days until it does change, makes no sense. There's no reason to change the min-wage if I'm in the office 5 days. It's a catch 21.
- ofalkaed 3y agoNo, under that logic we would take the time to consider them before just taking what we want. Most of these problems are not massive things and can be worked around without kicking people onto their asses. Most of the janitors can be covered just by each business taking the time to communicate with the building management, instead of saving $50 a week on cleaning with the 4 day week just save $40 and kick it to the janitor, most janitors clean a few dozen offices a night, each kick in $5-10 a week and it all adds up. But why when we can just say ME! and get brownie points caring about the plight of janitors come election season.
