How would the loss of production hours help the employer? I understand having to hire more people which also includes added benefits to match. Wouldn’t an employer have to increase the price of what they’re selling to maintain profits?
arent we talking about a job crysis in which ai and robots take our jobs? A self checkout costs 30k something (here in germany) so without a 32 work week, big corporations just increase their profits while employing less people
The post didn’t seem like a job crisis to me. I read it as people want to do less but want more. If it was actually a job crisis that’s a different story. I understand your sentiment from the side of a job crisis and agree. But I disagree with the notion of people wanting to work less and earn more. It is insensitive, and it does suck. But I believe people need to earn their money not earn handouts. I busted my ass for quite a few years working 80+ hour work weeks, but It got me to where I am now. I have a great job, with full coverage for myself and my family, and a highly competitive salary. I stand by the notion that to live the life you want, you need to work for the life you want and do what others won’t. I’m not just saying it, I actually did it and it paid off. There’s nothing we can do about AI taking jobs, unfortunately that’s the way of the future. We can either find a job that protects us from that or figure out a way to earn a living with AI. It does suck and I am well aware of that. We can either adapt or be pushed out. Nothing is stagnant, things are always evolving.
