South Korean capitalists have really committed national suicide. At this point the north just has to wait.
but Kim instead

My brain skimmed over the "per day" part and assumed it meant 21.5 hours a week, and I thought that wasn't so bad. 21.5 hours a day is literally going to kill people though. Like the human body actually cannot survive such a thing long term.
They straight up don't care. SK is already in decline and the population has only two purposes :
- Serve Samsung
- Serve the Glorious and Free Nation that is the United States of America.
It's not long term. If you read the linked article, it's still 52 hours a week. This change just defines how those 52 hours can be distributed. So if a company really really wanted its workers to work the max hours a day for some reason it'd be 2.5 days of straight work and 4.5 days off. Which would still be miserable but significantly less absurd.
DPRK hanging a big banner over the DMZ that just translates to 9-5, benefits, time off.
In the most tyrannical of Koreas you are only allowed 2.5hrs to eat and sleep.
I had a supervisor a few years ago who claimed to have stayed on the clock for three days straight once, slept in a closet. I think this was part of explaining why he'd been yelling at me over things so minor his boss had to take him aside. He said they were very "not like that!" abt it but he got them recorded. Moral of the story: none. He would love this.
Please god, please kill hustle grind culture and send it to hell.
In weather emergencies I've heard of nurses working over 24 hours on the clock, though I'm pretty sure legally in the US they can't force us to work more than 16 hours straight. Apparently my company used to pay people for sleep time when they were forced to stay there, but that ended. Frankly the amount of people I know that have worked regularly 16 hours every day for as long as I've known them at work is somewhat scary. 12 hour shifts in the hospital are pushing it, but you're also getting 4 days off a week as a tradeoff.
though I'm pretty sure legally in the US they can't force us to work more than 16 hours straight
Unless your state licensing specifically precludes "mandatory overtime" from the definition of "patient abandonment," this is unfortunately not true. Check your state's rules here.
(I'm not a nurse, but my mom was, and I remember hearing about "patient abandonment " cases during Hurricane Katrina and being absolutely horrified at the way the system works.)
My understanding was mainly that they can keep you there especially during a crisis but otherwise can't, which is correct in my state, though there's no upper limit like others. Still interesting that a few months back my previous employer violated that law by forcing me to stay an hour over because they didn't have staffing when they didn't exhaust all options like the law states.
I would prefer the people giving me medical treatment be well rested. Where I am it'd my taxes paying for nurses and I'd really rather see them have decent lives and be in good shape to work while doing medicine than have an entirely pointless military. I'm Canadian, we can just use America's anyway
Rookie numbers, in the US there's no limit. My company can legally give me a 28 hour shift, and if I worked in a red state they wouldn't be required to give me a single 30 minute break either
There's so many loopholes in American labor laws
I knew a guy who used to work at Amazon as a salaried coder. But on-call for 2 weeks every 6 weeks for the payment system of an AWS service in all of India. Every week on-call he'd get 20-40 pages and he has to respond within 15 minutes. In addition to regular working hours
Told me he would never get a full night's sleep during on-call and once never slept more than 2 hours straight 3 days in a row
Every state but like 7(? I know it's less than 10) has ABSOLUTELY NO requirement for breaks whatsoever.
You have 2 and a half hours left to sleep, eat, bathe, relax, before your next shift, I'm sure you can fit sex in there somewhere.The most ridiculous thing is all the workers are probably doing all their eating, bathing, relaxing, most of their sleeping during their shift. They might have like 4 hours of productivity per shift. Longer shifts mean less work gets done, it's well established
They'll have to turn 'child haver' into a paid position within the republic of samsung at this rate.
This is the "freedom" liberals were willing to wipe out 20% of Korea's population for.
Why even bother with restrictions at that point? You would think "We got rid of work hour restrictions but companies are full of reasonable people and definetly won't make you work in your dreams." Would be better optics then "Nah bro we aren't the physical embodiment of what the average westerner thinks the Dprk is, we at least let you have a 2 hour break." Fucking hell.
Sounds like they're about due for another massive labor uprising
How ironic would it be if the South erupted in a workers' uprising right after the North took reunification out of its constitution?
Wait so whats legal extended hours? Is it kinda like 52 hours legal without overtime pay (even with fucked 21 hour shifts), past that always overtime pay?
Or is 52 hours maximum limit, and this is fakenews
Still not as bad as America where slavery is legal. Getting there, but not quite there.
South Korea should really add Samsung to their name like it's done with companies sponsoring metro stations in Delhi. The Samsung Republic of Korea is a very good name for the country.

Need a version of the Abe "have sex" meme except it's Yoon and it says "don't have sex".
