In the age of the unprecedented worldwide pandemic, we were forced to rethink all the things we took for granted. Our values and our priorities, our leisure time, and most importantly, the way we work.
No wonder that the classic 8-hour workday MO, which was once a socialist dream, today seems redundant, to say the least. With more and more people switching to remote work, people are now realizing the 8-hour may have been a counterproductive lie.
So the TikToker AutisticCommProf, @ndcommlion, has recently made an illuminating video explaining how the “8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours for what you will” slogan from the late 1800s labor movement is a false promise.
When put into our everyday practice, it destroys our work-life balance, leaving us exhausted and unproductive. Let’s see her whole point right below, and share what you think in the comment section!

It turns out, the current 8-8-8 structure comes from the labor movement in the early 19th ct. which aimed at improving work and life balance at the time

The new model seemed like a much better structure than the 12- or 14-hour days factory workers, including children, were expected to put in at the time

And people had a lot of thoughts to share in response to the 9-5 workday debate
