Worker’s rights must be fought for with sweat, tears and blood. They are historically not handed down by billionaires, not once ever.
Bezos stepped away from Amazon, so it’s easy for him to say this now to sound like he cares, meanwhile Elon said his workers need to be there no less than 40 hours a week in office. Which is coded speak for “you live here now”
I thought that numbnut was pushing for 60 hour work weeks?
Fuck off! The industrial revolution should have given us 4 day workweeks decades ago. But, we have been so propagandized and called lazy if we don’t work until we are dead, that people forgot that life is not about the job.
It’s about positioning yourself for the next job. Just keep your head down and work harder, then things will be get better.
If you work hard your whole life and it still doesn’t come, you will be reincarnated to someone with a better socioeconomic standing bases on a formula of how many sick days you use and the stock performance of your company.
Fucking liar, fuck you and your ill gotten wealth
say what u like and get sweatshop cheap prices.
your words are cheap without action.
What do you suggest that has actual impact?
If ai could let people do 5 days of work in 3 days, imagine what they can do in 7!
This guy capitalisms
This is exactly what will happen. If you can do your work in half the time, you’ll just get more work. Simple as that.
But the pay will increase :D. Right?
Right?
Yes.
Well no, because now a portion of what you’d be paid needs to go to the billionaires who own the datacentres and the LLMs. :)
I learned that in my first official job. Being a good worker just makes you a sucker. I still am a good worker, the best usually, but I have rarely even gotten an attaboy for it. Luckily I am self (un)employed now for some time.
Now you’re thinking ouside the
boxworkers’ interest!
I have always said, since the dawn of modern computing, we’ve been becoming more efficient and require less hours. If anything, we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI.
It used to take days for insurance quotes, buying a car (financing), and many other technical tasks… Now, everything is so instant. But the workload keeps increasing to keep us poors busy.
Jeff Bezos saying this, is fucking dumb, because he’s just trying to sell us AI in the idea we’ll work less. BS. Even if we did work less, how does that make households survive on 1 income? So fucking full of shit, all billionaires. Detached from reality.
It’s almost as if 5 days is the most sustainable amount of work you can consistently squeeze out of someone and the prices will always rise to ensure it will take that amount or more to survive. 🤔
Sounds like a rigged game on a treadmill to me.
we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI.
We can!
It will be 25 hours. You’ll get paid for 25 hours, and it will be 5 hours per day for five days. That’s a “3-day work week”.
But, since it’s part-time legally, no healthcare, and no paid time off, because you “only work a 3-day week.”
Fuck this billionaire, and all the rest. No one would miss them if they disappeared, and worse, they’re leeches on our society. We’d all be much better off without them.
Stop buying crap from Amazon, what the hell are you doing!?

Is Bezos a child fucker with epstein that we know of?
I think we just might not know about it, but you can be sure Israel knows it.
i read this as: nobody will be “allowed” a long enough work week to qualify for any benefits.
Everyone getting paid for 3 days only is what he means
36 hours, 12 hour shifts, no breaks, and still not a full 40 to qualify for full-time benefits.
That’s what he’d do.
That’s just nursing, except they get benefits
He means only one person per family, on average, will be able to find a job.
And those who do, will only be able to find a part time job that schedules them 3 days at most to not risk triggering overtime or benefits thresholds.
Its a monkey’s paw. That’s why bezos’ head looks like that and why he parts his yacht in a volcano shaped like a skull
So start it up, Jeff. Hire more people to do less work. Don’t need ai, or automation, or industrialisation, or any of that for the wealthy to share their largess. It’s all technically possible right now or a hundred years ago.
Yeah this stuff is rage bait. If workers ever get 3 day work week, they will simply get half their salary as well.
For most people you can’t pay your bills with half your salary.
I’m getting tired of seeing tech make everything worse for human beings. It was not the idea from the start. This is because big tech has become as powerful as entire countries. And their culture is about max profits, of course.
All of this was predicted in many books and scifi movies but still we are unable to stop this development.
Yeah this stuff is rage bait
There are some people out there that have the power to create policies but also for some reason want to do good for people in general. Except that they don’t understand tech. This is to bait them into becoming “for AI”.
Also, to help others make excuses for adding AI.
He’s already given thousands of his employees 0 day work weeks in favor of AI.
Maybe he’s eyeing the fast food strategy of keeping hours under the requirement to provide health insurance.
Mif there is ever going to be a chance of that, the bare minimum will be a wealth tax. Tax the principle wealth of billionaires. Not gains, not unrealized gains. The principle wealth.
