Turns out shes been planning this for 5 years
Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?

Greetings strags
The 4-day-work-week is one of my favorite redditisms. It always brings out the lazy useless commies out of the work week. And always, ALWAYS, these lazy fools try and masquerade their supposed desire to improve society, when instead they are merely desiring a terraforming of the world to suit their own interests, namely them wanting to work less hard hard like /r/antiWORK
I want to ask you dramatards today what you guys think about 4-day-work-weeks. Because it's always an inevitable circlejerk in the reddit euphoric-atheist eurocuck leftoid anti-yank anti-west crowd.
Yet for somebody who works in an already left wing dominated country, and for a private enterprise, I have my great reservations about only 4 working days per week. In our private company, and similar surveying companies, as well as for building contractors, architects, lawyers, Trade-industry like electricians and plumbers, the notion of a 4 day work week is absolutely fricking ANATHEMA
The reason being is that contrary to white-collar soul crushing useless corporate office hours wasting manhours, our 5 days also consist of accumulating clients and jobs and contracts and tenders, from the private world and the government. If i make this sound sophisticated, what i mean is that it basically boils down to cutting your potential outreach opportunity to clients and available office hours, or even available fricking contacts hours by a brutal 20%.
And while I'm not privy to our business' exact financials or contemporary SA surveying companies, I know the netto income is about 20%. And if the government would for example MANDATE or force a 4-day-work-week, it would slit our throats overnight.
Kaamrev, you guys would say, won't the clients just call/visit the office on Monday=>Tuesday. They might, but customers/clients are funny in the mercurial world of business, you will note if you own a private organization, in which you are solely responsible for accumulating/finding clients, that available hours have drastic influence on whether clients finally take the leap in contractig/buying a service.
Many surveyors and chainmen even work way beyond natural office hours, well earlier than 8am, and well beyond 5pm, if a particularly important/large job is at stake. Many would work Saturdays, and even sundays if pressure is at stake. I myself had done so for months last year, as there literally not enough hours in the fricking 40 hours work week to finish particularly dire projects. Last year i actually worked harder than I studied for my 3rd year at univeristy, not out of principle but sheer panic.
This notion of going beyond mandated 40 hour weeks, is probably unknown to wagie redditors who are paid the same, regardless of whether they do their best/slack off. And while I have sympathy for people in wage-cage jobs, in white-collar soul crushing office-cubicle heck -holes, where middle-managers force useless meetings and useless hours, and thus wasting your finite life span away for unclear goals, in unclear corpo leadership - but that is NOT why redditors champion 4-day-work-weeks. No it is because it appeals to them
Supermarket businesses like Checkers/Spar/Woolworths in South Africa, had steadily encroached on weekend openings about 20 years ago. I recall distinctly massive drama within the Christian communities in Safrica, that when places like Spar and Checkers began to have open hours on Saturday, and then eventually open hours on Sundays. Because sundays are supposed to be the day of rest. In the 1990s you had exceptions to the rule, and in the early 2000s, if your pantry was empty, because you had poor planning or some calamity, then you were fricked out of luck for food for sunday, unless you could find some street-vendor road-seller who would sell you some mielies for the day to tie you over for Sunday.
I distinctly remember many neighbours begging after Sunday services for some key ingredients or some flour or fruit, and promising to pay back on Monday, cuz there literally was no shopping mall or tuckshop or anything open the whole day! But as religiosity gradually faded throughout the country, corporations gradually found weekend openings to be acceptable and convenient to the public
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_shopping
So for these corporations, 7-day operating weeks became a virtual necessity. Because if they did NOT operate during the weekend as their competition did, they lost out on potential clients, because the people who would have shopped during regular weekdays were now satisfied for their groceries on weekends. Smaller grocery businesses would find themselves in a death knell had they not adapted.
And many small town businesses like mom-and-pop bakeries, who traditionally operated on weekdays like they had in the past, and was closed during the weekends as it was family run, and they had to take care of family/kids, would be screwed if they did not compete with corporate chains like Spar, which had bakeries, as the Entire monday sales period would be cut off, as customers had their monday needs met during the weekend.
A not too dissimilar phenomenon happens in trade or contract industries. Even if Governments could make a blanket ban on 5-day-work-weeks, so that your competitors could not operate on a 5th day, same a your company does, and thus steal your clients, there is a weird hidden opportunity cost lost by customers which were on the precipice of a decision, but your unavailability, lost them to your business. This is in addition to the potential loss of manhours to work on potential projects.
I also don't buy this mythos from popular rediditor zeitghest, that in ancient/medieval times, farmer peasants worked much less today, and only in our modern corporatized world we work ourselves into an early grave. I've seen actual farms - there's always work, if the pipes burst, they need to be fixed. It's many long and hard hours.
But I'm also aware historic labour laws came into being becuase of much sacrifice and due to great abuse by magnates and oligarchic businessmen who literally worked English children to death in mine shafts during the Bong Industrial Period.
What do you guys think?
Anyways some drama and sneed below
What does billionaires have to do with the 5-day-work-week?? It's like wagie redditors are so far removed from ever having had the fate of a business enterprise on their shoulders, that they equate a societal business norm of the past several hundred years due to the greed of a cabal of billinaires
Thank frick for that
"STOP MAKING SENSE!" only stupid people want to work for 5 days a week!
Some takes with more than 1 braincel
"It really depends on the industry. I work in manufacturing. Output is directly tied to labor hours applied. My wife works in healthcare. Obviously you still need staffing coverage 24/7."
This guy gets downmarseyd for pointing out against the circlejerk that the 4-day-work-week was only considered by the experimenting 61 companies, becuase it DIDN'T affect a loss of productivity, and these cute twinks downmarsey him for pointing out that any loss of productivity/ or incurring more costs like hiring additional staff would negate the feasibility
ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh man he really pissed off these neetstrags
"Congrats. Not everyone is you. You're not even going to stay the you that you are now. Try working 50 hours/week for 20 years and see if your productivity keeps up."
lmoa 20 years, try people who worked 50 years of their lives you strags
Of course redditors can't read (or ever read the linked articles anyway)
"The dude you are replying to is just going around to very comment trying to justify why him and his area shouldn't allow people to work fewer hours. He also talked about not seeing any decrease in productivity till he pushed workers to work more than 50 hours a week."
Anti-yank circlejerk begins
Those filthy yanks
Again these redditors miss the forest for the trees. Sometimes a company cannot exist in a system where a loss of opportunity is caused by a loss of potential clients or contacts because the fricking business wasn't open or available for liaison
Some more redditors with braincells in smaller threads outside the usual 1000-point upmarseyd circlejerk teenage angst subthreads, ask significant questions, because they are skeptical of this supposed overgood news.
Manufacturing industries are out
Ok, nice link, thanks.
So the #1 category, by a large margin, is not-for-profits/charities. Which isn't very representative of most people's workplaces.
The #2 is the creative/consultant/PR/marketing space - an industry where the actual hours worked have little relevance.
I thought there was a construction company in there, but it turned out to be a Housing Association. Unfortunately, these really aren't representative of where most people work.
This guys shits on the hopes and dreams of soyneets and soywagies
Anyways the same theme is repeated throughout the thread. What do YOU
dramatards think?!

Ya sure except for all the extra rules to discriminate against us. Like those Healthcare bans that ban medications specificaly for trans people Or when those "drag bans" that tried to make it a s*x offense for trans people to exsist in public (litteraly worded so that dressing different from your assigned gender at birth was a crime)Or making it so we can't serve in the armed forces Removing everyone's ability to pay money and sign paperwork to change the gender designations in our documentation.All the hateful rhtoric he's sprewed that's increased violence against us.Litteraly children getting murdered cause of this man and your over here saying it's fine.Your either psychotic or sociopathic, if your not empathizing with the plight of trans people and the litteraly mountain of discrimination that's been piled on them.

I used to go on college humor when I was a kid but fell off when I was a teen like most of the people here. I just tried to find the website and couldnt. Apparently theyve rebranded based on their youtube page.
So i went to the new website and what do you know? Its like every other media slop around now. Lets get into their original programing
Dungeons and drag queens which looks like understudies for ru pauls
Make some noise which is described as "A game show where talented contestants compete to bring to life silly prompts." Chat GPT 2 could have come up with a more passionate show description
um actually which is "Introducing a game show of fandom minutiae one-upmanship, where nerds do what nerds do best: flaunt encyclopedic nerd knowledge at Millennium Falcon nerd-speed." again the description makes me viscerally cringe
and
Adventuring party which appears to be just the view but with the same D list drag queens
Just another example of shit I used to like ing out for an ever shrinking audience and straddling bankruptcy.

Jack LaSota, or 'Ziz,' is the mysterious leader of the Zizians and was arrested on Sunday evening alongside fellow group member Michelle Zajko in Allegany County. The pair are being held in the Allegany County jail on firearm and trespassing offenses and charges of obstructing or hindering authorities, according to online court records.
Further details about the charges against LaSota, who uses she/her pronouns, and Zajko were not readily available Monday. An attorney for LaSota did not immediately return a request for comment.
The Maryland State Police, the Allegany County State's Attorney's Office and the FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday; courts and many government agencies are closed in observation of President's Da
