All my communist posts keep getting deleted there. It is crazy to me that a workers subreddit is not communist 😵💫. They are not going to achieve anything by being neoliberals.

I got flamed on that sub once because I said that the shift from 40h a week from 5 into 4 days (so, 10 hours a day) isn’t the monumental victory everyone was seeking.
After that I knew the sub wasn’t in for actual radical change.
They had that very ‘interesting’ interview on some news channel, soon after many of them moved to another sub called work reform or something similar lol.
A sub which was modded by a bunch of people who were involved in investment banking and executive positions, btw.
I currently work a 4/10 7am-5:30pm. It’s not all people make it out to be, end of day if I want to do something after all my duties are completed my freetime comes out of my sleep time so what, 4 days of non-stop work/sleep/stress for 1 extra day. Some people may not want that and it still doesn’t reduce how much we’re exploited in any capacity. That sub is way too liberal for fundamental change, as is most of the “left” of reddit.
I think 10-hour days would be worse for a decent number of people
I already know people who can only pick up their kids from daycare at around 18.30 right now, at an 8 hour day. Imagine having to pick them up at 20.30 lol.
I guess the main pro would be for those who commute to work
How so? Personal anecdote: I commute to work, it takes about an hour in each direction (sometimes more, sometimes a bit less). So my 8-hour workday is already much longer. If it were to be 10 hours officially, I might as well start living right there on the job
(That sounds awful, I hope you can find a job closer to your home.) The advantage would be saving two hours a week on commuting, but in your case that might not be worth the trade-off
I would 100% rather work 5 8 hour days over 4 10 hour days
Ill take 4 10s for the sole reason that i have to drive 1 less day a week.
For many people I can definitely see that. I, personally, would be opposed to that being required but can understand people wanting it
