true. I forget that type of shit exists in office work honestly. It’s less common where I’m at (outside of like, food service ig), despite the fact that as far as I know, most jobs are effectively zero-hours because we have no labor rights here.
The way the article is phrased/framed I assumed they meant flexible as in work from home or the office as you choose but I wouldn’t put a little dishonest framing past Business Insider
Yeah, I went from shift work on tips to a 9-5 and it’s nice. The political bullshit you have to deal with from owners and higher ups sucks, but overall it’s not that bad where I’m at compared to other horror stories I’ve heard.
I’ll take a 60 year old former JP Morgan employee that’s on the spectrum as a boss on a guaranteed 40 hours over some angry cokehead shift lead on a 0 hour any day.
Yeah, spent so long working in catering and shit that finally having a normal schedule feels like I’m living a dream. I only miss weird days and 2nd shift when I need to hit the bank out of nowhere.
If you want true hell, try working a factory job, which is what I do.
8 hours a night, on 3rd shift, at least 5 days a week, because half way through the week JIT logistics could just decide you need to work a 6th and 7th day.
