suicide? appreciating the good moments of the day without thinking about the wider hell you’re in, somehow?

        You short-sighted investors are piling in on guillotines, meanwhile I’ve been snatching up shares in pitchfork and torch companies with strong fundamentals for pennies on the dollar.

        That seems counterproductive.

        Guillotine demand goes up, guillotine production company stocks go up, guillotine production owners become rich, guillotine production millionaires felled by their own designs.

    I stop working altogether.

    For real. That’s what happens. When I am in serious overload, I get kinda blocked and cannot achieve anything anymore.

    But also on a global level, I think it would break down most workers quite soon.

      You think they’d be offering sick days?? I think you’re bound for the camps if you can’t keep up. Oh shit… This is starting to sound familiar…

    The longest I ever did it was 5 weeks straight working 12 hour nights too. Everyone thought I’d quit, but I ran circles around them.

    Everyone basically gets way less productive, especially with any physically strenuous activity. It’s like you/your body knows full recovery is not an option. You don’t get more done, you’re just there when shit hits the fan.

    I personally adjusted just fine. It is no different than slavery. All labor is technically wage slavery. I owned my own business before and after that job. Owning your own business is no different. The line between your life and your business is irrelevant when it is your own business, especially if you have employees.

    Small acts of rebellion. Take extra long breaks. Automate parts of my job and then don’t tell anybody that I did it. Break some shit on purpose and act like it was an accident. Steal as much stuff that isn’t nailed down as possible. The list would go on, but I’d honestly have no idea what I would actually do in that situation.

    I’m certainly not giving it 100% at whatever job I’m working at. I would say form a union, but that’s hard to do when you are working for 56 hour workweeks plus commute, not including overtime. That’s assuming the 7 day workweek remains 8 hour shifts rather than moving down to something like 6 hour shifts with an unpaid lunch break.
