I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

    6-8 hours each day, but I don’t think my situation should be the standard for everyone.

    But who says you “should be” working the full 8 hours?

        Is it? Or does it says that you are available for your work for 8h per day? Words matter a lot.

          It always says 8 hour work day, doesn’t it? I read that as being at work but not working 8 hours. Nobody can work 8 hours of actual work unless you love your job.

              physical jobs are good till you hit middle age and the body can’t keep up.

              white colour jobs have a similar thing, younger people can thrive on the mental energy but the older i get the harder it is to mentally be “on the ball” the whole time . I think both white and blue collar jobs have different but comparable problems as you age. like sure I can pull a couple of full days if I need to, but burnout is real

                My point is that blue collar jobs are often forced to work an actual 8 hours, under worse conditions for less pay, and this guy is like “oh man no one can actually do that, that sounds horrible”.
