Science Finally Says We Should Never Work 40 Hours A Week

[@Nelcomarproductions]

@@Martial-Mat it whatever people think it is when they use the white privilege word. For me it's having good money on the bank while having a good job. Which won't be reached by working less than 40 hours. All successful people work more than 40 hours a week.

[@Martial-Mat]

@@Nelcomarproductions I would argue that that is not success. I would argue that you have played into a system where you work hard to pay 25% or more to a government that gives your money away. I would say that success is connected to happiness not wealth. Have a great wife, great great kids, raise them properly, earn their love. There is no greater success. Everything else is just stuff. We work longer hours now than for much of history in order to buy things we do not need.

That was obvious we work 8hours +1/2 for eating +time to get to work. Yes you arent working when eating but You are still there rushing to eat. So technically that is 11-12 hours wasted at work and going to it. Now when u add the 8 Minimal hours for a nights rest its 12+8 hours where u cant do whatever activity u want to enjoy life. So we have 4hours out of 24 for ourselves , BUT most of those are used to rest because you just came home after leaving it 11 hours ago in the morning. This i believe is very wrong and should be fixed. Heck if i have close to no time for myself and only work and rest from work , WHAT is even the point of staying alive? This isn't living ! its just surviving day after day after day.

[@PlagueGaming053]

Amen to that. I work a 40 hour job myself with occasional mandatory overtime. I also have depression and have noticed that it does get worse the more I work. During peak months where I am working mandatory 50 and 60 hour weeks I also deal with a significant increase in how depressed I get. During normal 40 hour weeks I feel a lot of anxiety and depression. This month we have had an abnormal amount of time off to be volunteered for so I took what I could get driving my work week down to around 25-30 hours a week and I have never felt better, I eat better, get more done at home, spend quality time with my wife, and over all feel more together. Not to mention that when I work those 50-60 hour weeks I have significantly more frequent thoughts of suicide, My relationship with my wife suffers, I lose touch with friends and can't find any joy in anything I normally enjoy doing. Compound this with the low wages not meeting the cost of living adding more stress in the mix. Quality of life doesn't exist if all you do is work. Thing is it's not an easy fix. I really wish I could just bring this video to the CEOs of the company I work for and they would work everyone less hours and raise our pay to at least make up for the adjustment but they would probably just laugh in my face, call me a peasant, and kick me out the door. They don't care about anything unless there is hard evidence it will make a profit. Going to the government is even worse because half the people are in the pocket of those CEOs. It's frustrating that something that effects so many lives is so hard to change because it only affects the middle and lower classes. Who cares if the poor think of suicide or aren't eating well right? Guess if you don't have a ton of skill/luck/cash you don't deserve to live a decent life is the message of our times right?

[@therealDannyVasquez]

This is so true, J. People who have skills but aren't utilizing them with their work tend to suffer the worst. This trick is to realize that to live a fulfilling life, what you do for work should be at the center of everything. Once you find what you're passionate about and have a 30-40 year goal (a goal you will never achieve in your lifetime is best), connect with a team of people who are also passionate about that same goal and work with them. They become more than just colleagues; they are more like family. When you have this, you could be sleeping in a tent, eating ramen noodles and you'd still wake up excited everyday for the rest of your life.

A major problem with most of the worlds education systems, is that they don't aim to educate for the sake of knowledge but are actually designed to get people into the labor force. Not incredibly terrible but its ridiculous to expect 20 year olds to know what they want to do for the rest of their lives, most of the time, as they are under the stress of whatever final year exams they have.

[@BlueSkies30]

It doesn't matter to the system though. Whether you know what you want to do at 20 or 50 years old, every job needs a person to fill it at the end of the day. I think it is safe to say majority of people would not want to be a garbage man for life, but someone has to do it. You can go for your dream job of nurse or lawyer or mechanic but if the positions are all filled up that's that. Find something less pleasing to do. So whether the system gives you time to figure out what you want to do or not, in the end it depends on job availability.

In a prior job for a well known US public university I had a period of mandated 14 hour days plus weekend work due to a project being behind schedule.

For the months where I worked that I figure I had probably 5-6 days of actual productivity; the rest was lost to mistakes that were due to being exhausted all the time (each mistake cost 10-24 hours of work.) Worse, as we were salaried in that department the long hours meant no extra pay. I do listen to music at work, both at that job and my current. The reason has a lot to do with it being in office spaces where there is a lot of other chatter and music is less distracting to me.

What about school? It requires much more work than any job I know, with endless studying and homework on top of actually attending school (which accounts for at least 8 hours every day, save for weekends).

[@Buydaa.M]

school gives you homework while a job is only on job hours. haha

[@YanickLandry]

I really like your quick news format. A small note though : I believe the study in China also showed that people still wanted to go back to work in a physical office to better socialize.

[@akkabouzz6472]

As a nursing student doing an internship I nearly forgot how to sit. We either walk, run or lie down to sleep

[@zarlus8]

Hey science way to catch up with what I've been saying for 10 years. Wish I would have applied for that research grant.

[@Filip_Wessman]

I watched this the first thing I did after mailing my boss at the extra job I had my resign, quouting I did not want to be overworked but only have my day job. For totally random reasons.

[@Bmizzzle1]

Maybe if we didn't have to pay 30% of our money to taxes ( middle class ), and maybe if our dollar can't even buy a candy bar anymore, then we wouldn't have to work so fucking hard

[@Jason2171981]

I've got a part time job, and a life.

[@greenearth9945]

You are more free than I am. I work at average around 60 hours/week. I hate it to be honest and would wish somehow I could do half and spend more time with my family but I need to provide for them.

[@hungryowl1559]

And less money congratulations

[@Sesj02]

Maybe this is why we have such a big mental health issue in the country... yah know because nearly 60% of workers actually work more than 40 hrs a day.

[@simoko7076]

Might as well just stop working and let AI take over.

[@InderjitSingh12]

SIMI NORKUS that was what I was thinking. we gonna have robots do everything in future, we will just fuk around all day lol

[@InderjitSingh12]

As long as wealth is fairly distributed and environment is protected, I'm all in for robots.

[@JM-us3fr]

SIMI NORKUS I for one welcome our robot overlords

[@цветок-ш7п]

Inderjit Singh but we all know that it won't be...

[@InderjitSingh12]

faith, true that sadly

[@Friendly_Boo]

Working full time depresses me because I know there has to other ways to survive while not slaving away. Most ppl accept a shit job where they’ll spend all there time, not me.

[@mistamaog]

I feel like it also depends on your job. I'm pretty sure someone who does 60 hours a week but loves their job probably won't be impacted compared to someone who works 60 hours at a job they hate or dislike

[@helenacorreia7613]

Yes but that is completely different, because you will be dedicating a lot of energy, willingly and voluntarily, to something, unlike being obliged to.

[@ASTEROIDALAIN]

but why doesn't Science say we should get paid more so we don't have to work 40 hours a week? or At least remove that EXPIERENCE REQUIRED MINIMUM 2 YEARS ?!!!!!! . instead Make A an Entry Program Of 2 weeks for Training on All Jobs!. Please*

[@davidk.1917]

Any working class stiff could have told you this, you don't need science for this one, just common sense.

[@UnknownUnknown-hd9zj]

If they want us to work less then 40 hours a week then why don't they raise the pay so we could make the same money but working less

[@AllTheDips]

1,000 for 1 bedroom apt 350 for car 150 car insurance 380 child support 120 phone and Internet 100 electric 500 for food 200 gas, maintenance,etc 2800!! a month for the basics 40 hours don't cut it. I'm glad I don't make my state's minimum wage in Florida it is 8.10 an hour

[@humanity3.090]

This is why humanity needs to rethink the distribution of wealth. It's no easy task, but I'm sure we can come up with something better than your situation.

[@merlincnrad5385]

My dad never paid child support. I happy to know that you are caring for your child :)

[@AllTheDips]

***** I'm 30, my son is 7. I'm divorced.

[@AllTheDips]

Merlin Cønrad thanks! I made my son.. so he's my responsibility until I die.

[@Aristocratic13]

+the one and only F*** that, make your ex wife pay alimony man. Also you're 30 and your car insurance is 150? Mines is 80 and I just turned 25. And your apartment makes you pay for gas, well I can see that if you don't pay light and water.

[@5pctLowBattery]

Just remember... in the end they won't read your resume at your funeral , you're boss will most likely not be there at your funeral and after a few days you will be replaced at work.

[@nishitdua]

make a video on people who shout FIRST on every video

[@nishitdua]

who does wants this

[@ChilledSoul244]

why care so much?

[@kevincampbell1208]

you're the first person to ask that

[@цветок-ш7п]

Nishit Dua LMAO NO

[@elkoikan5993]

Well everyone work is different. My friend puts in 100 hours a week, even week. But he owns his own business and he clocks getting coffee with friends or going to watch soccer game as hours worked. Because he labels that as promoting his company lol

[@quickdraw9648]

*works 39.9 hours a week* *makes minimum wage* *is dying Inside*

[@user-td7xf3gz4l]

Haha step up your game. Time to find some higher paying work

[@k9builder]

It seems to me that there should be a way to balance on the job stress and increase productivity. I don't believe that reducing the number of hours worked in a week will help, as some jobs are quite labor intensive, and it really hurts people's pay when hours are cut. Seems somewhat off kilter.

[@GTK3392]

I think it depends on how much you like your job. I worked a job where I was working 14-16 hours a day for 8 days straight and it was awesome (Freelancer with contract so yes its legal) but I have other jobs where sitting behind a computer for 8 hours a day is suffering

[@helenacorreia7613]

Again, but as long as you do it voluntarily and whole-heartedly, is one thing.. other is being obliged to do something.

[@NewMessage]

I went home halfway through this vide...

[@janedoe1230]

my boss owns a small business and works about 80-90 hours a week during the summer and occasionally takes an afternoon off sometimes. Sometimes the economy and the circumstances just doesn't allow for a 40 hour work week

[@vash8799]

I work over 90 hrs a week as a uber driver. still I don't make enough some times

[@techmantra4521]

Who cares if my health is at risk when I can be instantly replaced?

[@stana.281]

Sooo if I work less than 40 hrs/week and cite your video, will my employer be OK with it? :)

[@AgentDRJ]

Stan A. If you are scheduled for under 40 hours, I am sure they would be fine.

[@jessiebullock]

So when I put in five 12-hour days it's not a good thing? How am I supposed to get stuff done?!?

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

You should do a video on understanding information versus memorizing information because I usually just make quizlet flashcards and memorize stuff for a test with little to no understanding of the material, but I still get an A.

[@luspearsoram1507]

That would be an interesting video. They can compare memorization with other thinking skills. Thier is application, analysis, evaluation and creativity too.

[@Darkemberandviolet]

I do own my own business, and I actually really like working from home. I feel like I can be more creative with my time, and it's easy to not be discriminated when you work from home. There's a lot of misconceptions a negative connotation about being blind, which makes it hard to find a job, so my business really helps.

[@vianFlu]

Damn, my coworkers and I work >60 a week each sitting in an office.

[@cufhz6401]

I work 52 hours a week and i can’t handle it anymore

[@mentos93]

Still alive?

[@stevehardman960]

Stop being soft get on with it ????

[@Si1verOne]

They also say the earth is a sphere and evolution exists so what do they know

[@worshipthecomedygodseoeunk4010]

i dont care how long i work as long as i get paid for it. instead, so many jobs require unpaid overtime so on top of sacrificing your health, you also dont get compensated for it.

[@Beverlycrystal]

3:00 we should now see a significant improvement in mental and physical health due to the pandemic. 😅

[@codacreator6162]

I'd be interested in how they define work? Supporting my home, my car, my family and my own aspirations come atop my weekly 40 hours. There is absolutely no time built into my day for self-reflection, nothing for development, only the expectation of better performance by coaching and scrutiny. It's really quite absurd.

[@rompryan7867]

I wonder what science says about soldiers' sleep cycles under combat conditions?

[@chase1146]

Science can say what ever it wants. Out wallets are the things that that get the final say. No matter what. Make the cost of living cheaper, then we can talk

[@mrnarason]

Japan and south korea laughs at this

[@Galaxia53]

Crying seems more likely to me.

[@sumboredazn]

no no no they laugh first and then cry. remember mental instability for the workaholics over there.

[@lsd310]

Victor P. south korea students study for 14 hours per day. im in hong kong and low paying jobs like security needs to work 6days,12 hours a day and only get around 1.5k usd a month.

[@umiluv]

Victor P. - S Korea has one of the highest suicide rates. They have programs that have people watching the bridges and springing into action to save them when they jump off the bridge.

[@lsd310]

well these programs could only save a few, if most rly wants to suicide,they could hang themselves in their home

[@jo69817]

This is why people are broke.

[@TheWeakMinded]

Care to share the actual numbers? And Im not talking about 'we put a link below'. An increased chance can simply be .0001%

[@rochellemacdonald1706]

I work in customer service. Just try spending 8 hours a day dealing with the expectations of others not being met. No less than 18 people a day will have some kind of complaint against my company or myself. 90% of those complaints I have no control over. The last complaint I got (3 minutes after my work day "ended") was from a customer who complained that someone he knew had her car vandalized when parked on the street in front of the building. Our cameras don't monitor the street, they monitor the building and the employees inside the building. I asked him how I could help, and he said that we should lower our prices because of the lack of "service." 40 hours a week of that shit. People call me to complain that UPS left their package in the wrong place. People call me to complain that there isn't enough parking nearby. People call me to complain about road construction. I'm like, "I really don't know how I can help with this issue."

[@GiulerPowerGamer]

Good thing that I have no job :)

[@imawesome5841]

Do you just lounge around your parents house all day?

[@Ponskippa]

5 years later, I'm still slaving away for 40 hours a week

[@viridianarc5120]

A problem that I've had in the US is the cookie-cutter approach to work hours and expectations in entry-level jobs. I'm developmentally disabled and have a history of mental illness; historically working more than 22 hours per week has landed me in hospitals, additionally the stigma against disabled employees has made it so I couldn't get minor modifications to work hours without legal leverage.

[@notsure1350]

So many people brag about the 60-80 hour work weeks they do. I think they're secretly bitter that they have to do that to survive so they try to wear it like a badge of honor, while the rest of us correctly tell them they're crazy.

[@stinknus]

But when you are living paycheck to paycheck 40 hours sometimes isn't enough

[@mudza92]

stinknus Everyone lives paycheck to paycheck, what does that even mean? How else would you get your money

[@Herobrine-fm3bh]

by making a money maker :D

[@karlhans6678]

Did you even understand the video? You like most here didn't get the message - working 40 hours IS WRONG! Yes we have no choice to pay our bills, this society is fucked.

[@faeoori]

I work 60+ hours a week. I had a heart attack at age 31, and my work had me back behind the desk a week after that.
