    The problem is 9-5s (especially in America) are not really 9-5s. See so many ppl getting forced into travel, working on weekends, or hell-working on vacation. The BB generation worked diligently so that any and all labor protections for workers that could be reversed were done as such. Then these same old demented fools ask:
    * Why aren't people having kids?
    * Why does no one want to work anymore?
    * Why aren't young people buying houses?

    In the past, a 9-5 career would look like the career of a doctor: the older you are, the more money you are going to make. The peak was in your 50s and you could see yourself working until your 60s. Nowadays the 9-5 career looks like the career of a soccer player, after 35 the problems begin. After 40, forget about it, your days are numbered. The peak years are between 29-34. In other words: you must save like crazy or have a 2nd stream of income.

    A 9-5 should become a 8-12 or 12-4 split, where you only work a 4hr shift and either chose the morning or the afternoon shift...You, put in some work to contribute to society and then you have the rest of your day to pursue other things. If you go to school, wish to get a second job, want to focus on a sport more, you are into art, you want to learn to cook, can, ferment foods etc., you will have that extra time...If you have an illness, bad back, sleep issues etc. you are able to do a 4hr shift, but a 8hr+ shift is too much.

      I think a 8hr work day split into 2 4 hr shits is a good and doable idea....what do you think? I think it could work and people still are contributing to society, and also have more time for whatever it is the need or want to do. So people only work 20 hrs a week instead of 80 hours....

    The highly skilled (like me with data especially with Excel) almost never get promoted into management roles. Companies can easily replace managers but someone great at their jobs and have mad tech skills above and beyond - very hard to replace. So you often end up with managers who are less skilled and pretty useless. AI could do what they do so much better and that's where things are headed,
