The attitude of being willing to compromise to get what I want, rather than waiting until my perfect conditions are met? I just don’t think it’s a reasonable expectation for people to stop thinking like that. I use compromise every day of my life - I used it ten minutes ago, to choose a slightly damaged monitor for less money over a brand-new, more expensive one.
I am of the mind that the faster we can get a few companies offering a four-day week, the faster it will become standard - or at least common. We saw it happen with WFH: Companies now have to expect to compete with offers that include remote work, so they either have to provide it as well, or improve other parts of their offer.
That’s not compromising, it’s groveling at their feet begging them to give you the slightest bit of respect, a tiny little crumb of the ever growing profits.
I know what a union is. Unless you’re about start one, recruit people, and bargain collectively with your employer, I suggest you start somewhere more realistic.
It’s true, between my full-time job and home improvement projects, I would not be able found and run a union. I don’t think anyone who knows me would describe me as ‘lazy.’
You sound like a hormonal teenager. I hope for your sake that you actually are.

Good luck saying that to your boss and expecting them to capitulate.
Man the concept of a union is going to blow your mind

All im hearing is excuses as to why you won’t. You can admit you’re too lazy to, it’s ok

Simply more excuses, and now name calling. That’s OK though, just don’t act like you don’t know why the average worker is getting railed.
So, what union are you the president of? You must be one, since you’re so wholeheartedly invested in them.
Figures you wouldn’t respond to that.
