The problem was doing the dishes. Just let them pile up, it’ll be fine.
Side note though: Work/life balance for the win. I get paid slightly less than others in my field, but I also work ~40 hours a week, and never take work home with me. It’s wonderful.
Went from 35h/week to 40. It’s made my life so much more complicated because everything is closed when I’m finally free. I have to take from my holidays to get my car repaired.
Damn, 5 more hours a week made that much of a difference? I’m also on a 4-day work schedule that is hybrid WFH which I forgot to mention. Having that extra weekday is clutch for things you can’t do on weekends.
I’ll gladly pay those union dues, because it wouldn’t be like this without our collective bargaining power.
I am at a somewhat senior (escalations tech, pretty senior without being in real management) position at my work that involves 100% WFH and a boss who trusts me on my time management, plus watches out for us when we do overtime (I’m salary so gotta get approved time off if going over etc). A bunch of prior coworkers have encouraged me to leave to get better pay, but I don’t wanna give up all those benefits.
I make food at home for lunch, can play games at lunch, right after work, etc. I won’t discuss if I ever play games during my work hours because how dare you accuse me of that and also where did you hide the cameras in my room?

Meanwhile here I am, working 60 hour weeks because my union has been subverted by corpos.
Reminder that unions aren’t a on eand done thing, you gotta keep fighting forever because greed is eternal.
That’s when you vote in new leadership.
But of course. People will people.
