4 day work work, 6 hour days, better pay, the freedom to spend as much time with the people you want, doing the things you want, without fear of financial ruin

4 day work work, 6 hour days, better pay, the freedom to spend as much time with the people you want, doing the things you want, without fear of financial ruin or bodily injury. Thats what workers want... not for the work place to replace their family. We do not need to be friends, I do not need to be nice to you. This whining comes from people who place work over all else and need work to be something other than it is. A means to an end.
Now, I do not mean passion projects... I mean wage slavery work hell holes... My passion projects and companies are made up of people I trust, have verified their experience. We are nice to each 60% of the time- we understand the other 40% is necessary. We don't take it personally, we brush it off. We are mature professionals, not whiney day care adults.
- therobots927 2y agoI’m guessing you work at a startup where you are nice 60% of the time? And I’m also guessing your coworkers actually give a shit about the job vs just trying to game the FAANG compensation algorithm?
- spacecadet 2y agoI run a co-op consulting group.
- therobots927 2y agoVery cool concept! Is it software engineering focused, and do you have to invest in sales or marketing to get clients?
- spacecadet 2y agoBasically, we all have specifics, I focus on RF/Wireless Security projects for government... so you can imagine the sales cycle... sometimes there is overlap and we work together.
- therobots927 2y agoVery cool. One day I would like to become a data science / engineering consultant. And I can see the upside of building a co-op business.
- spacecadet 2y agoIn full transparency, we are not formally structured as a coop, the US makes that annoying... We are structured for maximum protection, but operate under a coop operating agreement.
