South Korean capitalists have really committed national suicide. At this point the north just has to wait.
If dprk is not doing commie propaganda dezinformatsaya among the south korean youth, they are fucking up tbh
iirc it is illegal to say anything positive about DPRK or socialism in Occupied Korea
did someone say Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
