For like 12 years I’ve worked in the service industry. That means sporadic hours and shifts that can happen whenever. About a year ago though I got a 9:00 to 5:00 job and it has been absolute hell trying to live my life as I have. How do normal people do this? All the business hours of places that you need to go, the bank, the doctors, the post office. Office they’re closed by the time you get off of work. I have to actually call off of work just to get anything done. There’s no way the majority of people are living like this, right?

    They don’t, look around everyone has some sort of problems they are either sick, mentally ill or braindead.

    People and society need to acknowledge that the current work ethics are alienating humanity and destroying the world.

    Edit: i misread and though op was talking about working hours in general not allowing people to do much with their life after they are done working

      And the most broken, fucked up people act like they are vaguely ‘stronger’ because of it.
