They wouldn’t have to work so much if they weren’t so ineffective..../S
I’m glad you posted this and not me.
If men didn’t have to wait so long for them to go to the kitchen and make our sammiches we’d get more done!
Heck that might make up all the 39 days right there.
Bullshit !
In the office, most women take more days off than men, are more often than not less capable, have no shame about asking others to do their work for them.
At home, what about the auto repairs, lawn mowing, painting, appliance repairs, plumbing repairs, electrical repairs, computer repairs, and coaching sports teams, scouting, karate, take the kids to the doctor, and on, and on.
Not sure I believe any of this this: Most studies show women LESS likely to work as many hours a week (at a salaried or paid job) than m en.
Are they counting hours-at-home as well? Certainly, that would add more to most women’s weeks. But NOT to their paychecks.
Not all jobs are created equal.
I don't care how many hours a woman who answers phones or waits tables works. Her job has nowhere near the physical demands as a construction worker.
Currently I commute 72 miles each way. When I was working 12 hour days and started at 7, my commute time was 3-1/2 hours every day. Do they include commute times?
Construction workers are overwhelmingly men. Often commuting an hour or more each day.
When it's raining, construction workers often have to suck it up and deal with it. In high heat, they often start earlier in the AM to avoid some of the higher heat. In winter, they have to wear an extra 10# of clothing to keep warm. Meanwhile women in offices complain that the AC is 2 degrees too cold for them.
When work is slow at home, construction workers often go on the road for work. Meanwhile, how many woman leave home for days, weeks or months on end, to work?
“Although men do 34% more paid work than women, women still spend more of their time on unpaid work such as housework, childcare and care for older people.”
In other words, they counted work under conditions where the worker is not judged, graded, reviewed, or required to accomplish anything and faces no chance of being fired. Working under conditions where the value of their work has no objective measurement, nobody to fire them for working slow or slacking off or making mistakes, yet is counted the same as paid work.
