This is why working from home needs to be more normalized. The corporations have made the market impossible to bear unless you have more than one income. Without the ability to work from home (ideally flex hours), then basically your house goes to shit. You don't have any free time if it doesn't.

Your "choice" after putting in a full day of work for enough money to buy a portion of your groceries, is to come home and do everything that your stay at home partner (now, working a full time job), would have otherwise done (basically speed running burnout, any%), or actually relax and accept that your house will always be somewhat messy.

Our company forced us to take 8 hours off every week for the past couple of months. It has been fantastic 😊. Why not make it permanent? C'mon!

But the 40 hours work week is already a progressive measure to reduce the weekly amount of work?

If anything, it's the consistent nature of 40 hours for almost the entire year that's the problem. We need actual vacations and periods of rest and time off for other responsibilities.

Weirdly progressive for someone bougie
