I have always wanted all the overtime I can get. That's the extra money I use to do the things I enjoy. 40 hrs just pays the bills.

Interesting name for your welfare/unemployment checks
Do you not invest? Or is there some personal history you have with that poster that prompted such a goofy post?

I have be completely honest. I am against working 40 hrs per week during deer season. I still have to do it anyways.

The fact that you ask this idiotic question explains your insane posting history. Labor and economic issues are obviously very political. If enough idiots adopt the 'reasoning' of this lazy of this moron that will absolutely affect taxation and income distribution even moreso that it already is- Nothing political about that right ?
Wow how willfully dumb can someone be.

40 is not shite. many of us here have worked 50, 60 and 70 hour weeks most our lives. many times 84 and 98 hour work weeks.
you must be on disability and have no clue what real hard work is
Don't you have hurricane victims to price gouge somewhere?
Anyways. My goal in life isn't to work it away. I make plenty of money and am lucky enough to have a job I'm not strapped to my computer with. The only reason I work is to afford me the lifestyle I want. I will continue to negotiate for less work and more money as much as I can.

Bitch, talk to me after you've worked a couple months of 7/12's

Have you read this thread? People are patting themselves and each other on the back for working insane hours as if their human worth is increased from working more than 8 hours a day.

no one is discussing policy in this thread. people are bragging about working free overtime and mocking someone who doesn't want to work. your sanctimony tracks beautifully with the rest of this thread.

It's insane. I was very career focused when I was younger and it's paid dividend nows. The entire point though was to work hard then so I didn't have to later. My days success now is based on how many times I can sneak out a my home office and play games with my kid for a bit while still getting my work done.
Two parents working 40 hours a week would be very difficult to get in all the great family time and fun

Most people don't work 40 hrs when you deduct lunch, breaks, screwing off, ...

It's just this obsession with comparing oneself with strangers that baffles me. Who cares what some random person in some random state does or doesn't want to do? Why does that matter to us?
100%
My husband and I are lucky that we have jobs that are flexible. I can step out for hours to attend conferences, school performances, etc or bring my kids to work with me a lot of the time if I need to. My husband can work from home or have the kids tag along with him on the road if he needs to.
I don't care about impressing people on the poli board with the number of hours I work or anything else.

Her forty hour work week basically equates to four day work week, with that math. yet, during a three week period she can't find time to wash her filthy body? She has got issues way beyond the fact that she is a lazy beast. I got news for her, unless the gravy train that she is waiting on arrives, she ain't gonna see any relief. Welcome to adulthood princess!

I didn’t watch it but I’m sure you understand that people monetize their social media accounts by gaining followers and garnering engagement.
The problem with that analysis is that what she posted dovetails with actual widely observed trends in society. The attitudes regarding work in 2025 are very different than they were even 20 or 30 years ago and that trend has been widely documented by plenty of mainstream sources.
That's what you always ignore when you knee jerk respond that something isn't true just because a social media influencer posted it. Posting it on social media doesn't make it true or accurately reflect a trend—that's accurate, of course. But you tend to take that premise and over apply it such that you deny anything is true or reflective of a trend in thought that anyone posts on social media. It's the same thing posters do here when some news outlet they don't like prints something they don't find to be convenient. They just dismiss the information because of the source.

If this person can post this and she has men she doesn’t know all over the country driving traffic to her social media… who is the moron?
As if only one of those two are allowed to be a moron? Two things can be true at the same time. Acting like it has to be one or the other is a false dilemma.
You're also implying that this woman is necessarily trolling, which is to say that she doesn't really mean what she's saying, she's only putting it out there as clickbait. The rest of the context in this case makes that very unlikely.

Balderdash.
You give the distinct impression of caring very much about presenting yourself as someone who is "above it all," just like you did right here.
It's part of just about everything you post.

There are so many ways to manipulate the system to get enough govt free money - working a full time job makes no sense for them.

Well, you're a woman.
And before someone spurges out over that comment, there is plenty of academic information detailing distinct differences between the trends of attitudes of men and women about being in the workforce.
And one of the things that the studies show is that men are more likely to pursue higher levels of achievement even when those higher levels require more investment of time and effort than women are. Women are more likely to say, "Nah, I'm good where I am," rather than seeking to climb higher on whatever ladder they have available to them to avoid the commitment of more time/energy.
Which is basically what you just said...you don't understand all the men on the thread bragging about working longer hours and instead bragging that your goal is to work as little as possible. All you did is articulate on an individual level what the academics tell us on a corporate level.
This is why there's a "gender pay gap."
It's also why the more women attempt to act like men, the more depressed and mentally dysfunctional they become (we're up to what? 2/3s of the female population having been diagnosed with some mental disorder at this point).
Another highly researched conclusion is that men care more about things than women do and women care more about people than men do. Which is why even in the most egalitarian countries on planet Earth, when left entirely to their own devices, women choose helping professions (nursing, teaching, etc.) at even higher rates than they do in America.
Here the feminist agenda artificially pushes women into roles they aren't as well suited for mentally/emotionally just to prove that "women can do anything men can."
Maybe they can, but that doesn't mean it's good for them.
Anyway, the reason the woman in the video gets so much derision isn't just because she doesn't want to work outside the home. It's that she doesn't want to work outside the home but gives no context that she's willing to work inside the home instead.
I don't think people here would object to a trad-wife situation. But you got to do contribute to society in some way. Either put on some man-pants and do your 40 hours a week acting like a man and hate it, or be a wife and a mother and take care of the household.
But do something productive.

She needs to work to fix that gap in her teeth. I can work 40 a week standing on my head... one word for her is. LAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? Perception is reality so I'll take your word for it.

Thanks to the men who have ruled our government and economy for hundreds of years, most women now have to do both.
