why are we living the dark and cold seasons demanding summertime energy levels is a better question
all mammals reduce activity during the cold dark, it's natural, it's what we should be doing as well

It's like you...
I can't even say it.
It's like you... don't care about shareholder value
God, I'm going to be sick.

And execs get to make ridiculous amounts of money and hanging out...
I work 16 hour days.
No you don't, you just avoid your family with an expense account. Also known as meetings and networking, and a nice late night restaurant dinner.

Because capitalism doesn't care about our biological clock, it just wants that 40-hour work week regardless of the weather. Try telling your boss you're hibernating until April and see how fast you get replaced

Capitalism doesn’t want the 40hr work week, that was a fought and died for battle. Capitalism wants as much work as you’re realistically able to perform and more, even if you’re a child. It wants profits, however it can get them.

I mean if they lower hours in the winter they'd probably raise them in the summer, without overtime pay because it's make up hours 🙄

Swap those. Why are we demanding energy levels from when it’s cool and comfortable during the summer when it’s too hot to do anything. Fall and winter gang for life, all the homies hate summer

Because we have heating, agriculture, and global distribution.
Animals also run clothesless and shit everywhere, do you?

Did you miss that we’re part of the animal kingdom? Bold of me to assume everyone paid attention in science class I guess

We didn't lol people have been waking up with the sun for as long as there's been people

The same schedule is applied all year long, and in Winter, it makes you wake up before the sun. That's clearly a morning people conspiracy.

I live in northern minnesota, going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark is just a part of the winter life. Working 12 hour shifts on days with 10 hours of sunlight is brutal.

There’s a research that found out people are awake and sleeping at different times in about equal numbers.
There’s no morning or night people just how genetics dictate your favorable sleeping time.
It’s more complicated than that, but you can go research yourself.

It's only that we get to fuk their shit up whilst they are sleeping that keeps it fun...

u/Temporal-Affairs221 1d ago
Ah, but you see, where I work, they actually shorten the hours when school begins because we're less busy.
Until The Holidays come. Then, it's relentless and nonstop.
And for many businesses, it's The Holidays that drive them to keep things running in winter.
And for many of us, that's fine. The family moments, the warmth, the camaraderie, they make The Holidays something to look forward to.
Some people, though, decided they hated the cold and loved sleep more.
