***When I was a kid in the mid-60’s***
My 1962 teachers said the future work week would be 35 hours or less so all people jobs.
I found there is not enough money working straight time. In the last 31 years of my work life I only missed two days of overtime.
My dad always said a man could get by on straight time, but he could live well on OVERTIME!
He was correct, but he didn’t take his own advice and moved to a low agricultural starvation wage area of the USA.
I see overtime as slavery. I work it from time to time, but only from time to time. I’m an IT contractor so straight time is more than enough to live comfortably, but we all want more.
Sadly...
