		sliverstorm on Oct 28, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 40 Hour Work Weeks Suck "People who hate their jobs often work 40 hours weeks, why be one of them?" The quote smacks of truisim. Most people work roughly 40 hour weeks, so it sounds to me like saying "Most people who hate their jobs have jobs. Ergo, don't have a job".

You'll find plenty of part-time workers who hate their jobs as well - lots of hospitality workers, for a start.
