| The practice of an entire working population commuting from an hour+ away to a few buildings in the center of the city, sitting on their ass for 8 hours a day, eating a packed lunch, and commuting back home is at most a couple hundred years old. But sure, go on about your "hundreds-to-thousands of years of history". |

| >Covid was fun, I get it, but that was a long time ago man. I don't understand what you gain from trying to be super abrasive on a forum. Is it fun? |

| ▲ | baiwl 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | The "I know, crazy idea." from the parent comment is even more abrasive. | | |
| ▲ | jfindper 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Calling out every abrasive comment would take more effort than I'm willing to expend, and would itself be pretty abrasive. So I picked the comment where they called Covid (the event where many people died, had their businesses ruined, etc.) "fun" over the one that mentioned work-life balance. | |
| ▲ | carlm42 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The person you're replying to asked if it was fun. Consider that my sarcasm was meant to be sort of tongue in cheek and not incredibly serious, which is a very different kind of tone from other comments in this chain. |

| Honestly, if the bus/delivery driver needed a mid-shift break to deal with some life stuff, yeah by all means, I personally think they should be able to do that kind of stuff (though maybe we start by giving them bathroom breaks?). The business hiring them should adapt. |

| 99% of the working class doesn’t have the expectation of answering a page at 2 am, or working long hours without extra pay to make a deadline. Don’t act like that’s an apples to apples comparison |

| People did this, I used to do jiu-jitsu with a ups guy that would stop and join the class mid day, then go back on his route. I Had a manager that would go and drink beers in his car durring breaks. I had Coworkers that would leave the office to pick up their kids pre covid. Lots of people are messing around |
