I’m saying that low-balling just so we can get a lose-lose in order to not hurt some executives’ feelings is a waste of effort. Besides, workers’ rights are so far behind that we gotta catch up yesterday.
Or another way: It’s literally the same issue, I’m just not going easy on the worst people just so we can perpetuate the idea that a 40hr work week makes any sense.
Human beings experience a steep drop-off in productivity after ~6hrs, and the worst effect found of switching to a four day work week has been no change but employees are happier, though more often it’s a large increase in productivity and quality.
While yes, that would be something to consider after fixing everything else, your idea is just this post, please do better.
Like the other person said, you can at least control what you interact with directly. So you cancel your Prime subscription and turn your lights with your hand instead of an Echo but you don’t worry so much about trying to figure out if any of the several companies involved in making [product] have some form of attachment to AWS.
And there will be some level of consumption in this horrible system that’s not gunna be good in order for you to not be horribly depressed but people can shed more than they think and alternatives do exist for many of the ones you might put at lower priority.
