Is this the person whose big "scandal" was being photographed at a club?

My entire working life (multiple decades) it's been a pretty common thing to hear co-workers say some variation of
"I feel like my life is on fast forward"
Because they aren't absorbing their own lives because they spend most of it away from the things that matter, solving problems for other people, in order to benefit a small percentage of people more than they benefit from their own labor.
Everyone has different beliefs. I don't believe we're going anywhere after this. This is it. One shot. One blip in a vast universe, then nothing.
That makes me very tired of this bullshit.
I understand the value of work. I understand we wouldn't have roads or homes or grocery stores without it. But I've always advocated for exactly what's being advocated for here. 4 days. 6 hours a piece. 4 days is still the majority of your week and 6 hours is perfect because studies show productivity tanks after that anyways and those extra 2 hours means actually having dinner with your family or helping them with homework, or mowing the lawn, or whatever.
It's a solid balance and we should be demanding it, not asking for it.
FORMER...always nice when they come up with great ideas AFTER they've left office.
Achually she had this idea before she was PM.
Had this idea before, has this idea after, it seems the "during" part is the problem somehow.
This is what we should be fighting for. That and 25 dollars minimum wage. Even fucking Bernie Sanders misses the boat on this. He fights for the minimum wage but 40 hour work week and the "return of overtime " fucking hate it when mentions that. No one should have to or want to work longer hours. Bullshit!
6 hour 4 day work week is the way and the fight that unfortunately America will never adopt.
$25/hr is not a livable wage if you're only gonna get 24 hours a week.
One would still need to work 40-50 hrs a week, it would just be more livable due to getting OT sooner.
Why I believe in the work 6 hours 4 days a week but get paid as working 40 hours.
Works out to ~$42/hr
So uh...what is the citizenship application process? Finland is worth dying for rn.
Former pm, this wouldn't actually happen.
Why is it that the right ideas only happen before or after holding useful positions?
Former PM and future wifey for lifey
This is what I did at my company. Just better. Come and go as you please, no matter what. As long as the agreed upon work is somehow done. Come at 3am leave at 4am? Whatever. That plus profit-sharing made fucking happy employees who actually enjoyed working.
Why should anyone care if you're here 8hrs? Most people just waste probably half of it with procrastination or just strategic incompetence.
That rule was for everyone of course, janitor "upwards".
Also everyone got double market-average, free food and beverages.
Could've made a lot more money, but who needs that? Why me 99% and everyone else shares the 1%? That is an unsustainable model (for people, not for companies though), extremely unfair and unjust. How could I look into a mirror with dignity when ripping off everyone else?
Sadly I seems to be the exception, not the rule 😐
Im sorry but how will this increase shareholder value? hmm? Will anybody think of the shareholders?
GOP: she's basically Stalin.
That's cool but, what is she doing as a former politician to further this goal?
Using the power of celebrity which is probably the most useful thing to do in that situation.
Yeah right, and how many trillionaires does Finland have? How can I ever become a trillionaire if we waste money on things like work-life balance? Get that woke dei stuff out of here.
/s since you can never be sure
Yeah, I'm literally unable to focus on code for a full workday anyway. If everyone was honest, work times could just half without any actual productivity loss.
former
The People Have Spoken
Double their hours, halve the pay, murder their parents, and castrate them before they have any kids.
Curious question, did she push for this when she was PM?
She is the type of woman I would have liked to have as my cool aunt that snuck me my first beer and then destroy the very foundations of our family via accidental conception.
