Healthcare workers and mental health workers already are doing 12 and 16 hour days.
Doesn't stop the Japanese Corporate from trying.
The US surpassed Japan in workaholism in the mid-1990s.
Life became so expensive so you cannot afford of not working.
I'm pretty sure they'd force us to work all 24 hours, because profits and "if you don't like it, leave. I can hire someone else"
In a future dystopia, required implants will make 16-18 hour days happen
We kinda do it already, I can't be the only one that has taken "power naps" in my office instead of going home to sleep when a crisis hits at work. Hell, after the first one I bought a sleeping bag for those times.
Honestly, why is that lucky? I don't see a difference.
lmao. AI robots soon will work for you 24/7. All because we are not perfect, we need to sleep and rest, we complain and require rights + money.
