MEN: If You Work A 40-Hour Work Week..

[Canna Sylvan]

you didn't answer the simple question..

You know I just sit on my ass writing on a Macbook Air, who paid his own way for everything the past 10 years. So of course I expect my employer, myself, to pay. You're the handout queen, not me.

 

[travisw]

do you expect:

1. a home
2. food
3. clothes
4. healthcare

I think anyone who works 40 hours a week should be able to expect those things,

 

[nitro harley]

no, that was perfect..thank you for your answer

how old are you? are you single/married/widower?

I am old and married...

I do work a 40 hour week, I get to choose 2 out of the 4 though. I think if I could work 70 hours a week I MIGHT be able to get the other 2.

Looks like the little socialist study isn't doing so well.

indirect products of work: 1-3 I feel are up to ones self to acquire as to taste
Direct product of work: healthcare. If you work hard your work should help make sure you continue said work.

Sooo.. I would definitely have to say I expect #4.

I also expect only a paycheck, and understand that I must pay for the rest with that paycheck.

Same answer.

I'm a small business owner and have to tell you, you're one of the few people on here that get it.
I pay for my guys health insurance because I want to keep them happy, a happy employee will usually stay loyal to the company.
But they do have to go through a six month probation before they are eligible.

So let's see. No employer on Earth but the military provides the first three, some provide the last. Are you trying to intimate that some or all are yours by some right? You don't work at all. Should you be thrown naked into the street?

 

[Red1966]

cn - it's a simple question..for me, if i work 40 hours a week i should be able to have those 4 basic needs met..agreed?

You don't work. So you should be denied food, clothing, shelter and healthcare, by your logic. "Death to the unemployed", yeah, that's a great campaign slogan.

 

[MFB]

I think its a hard world and you only get about 1/10th back of what you put in, but thats what you do to stay alive.

 

[Thriceeee]

I think something has been confused here... or its just too blatant.
I think some are confused with what they should be able to provide with income and what an actual establishment should provide solely. ... right? haha

It's cheaper to let you die and hire a replacement. Maybe they'll work a little harder than you at a lower wage. Bonus!

 

[Thriceeee]

Sometimes replacements cost more money and are too much of a headache. I probably cost my first couple shops more money than I made starting as a mechanic but that's part of the learning process... it's up to the owner to see if that is worth the price or not. Other jobs may not have such a disadvantage but eh i'm high and yeah lol. I do honestly see what you are saying though with your replies Red.

 

[echelon1k1]

do you expect:

2. food
3. clothes
4. healthcare

Nope, I expect to be remunerated based on my experience and for the time I'm putting in.

Do you expect a man to provide those things for you?

Why is the question specifically directed at us males?

 

[UncleBuck]

uniforms always nice!..thank you for your response

not always.

some uniforms turn people into sadistic pricks.

and a clearer picture forms as to what happened to red's kids, may they RIP.

Plenty employers on Earth provide all four, but on the condition of Sameness and ultimate penalty of Release. I also reject to Stirring supression.

I understand what you are asking. I would have phrased it slightly differently.

Do I deserve a home, food, clothes and healthcare? If I work 40+ hours a week, yes, I deserve these things. Not expect.

As to hiring half ass workers for half ass money. I make even more money fixing their problems than I do from my normal job..
Half ass money usually means someone never did their homework and can't produce what they should be worth. <-- from my own profession.
I totally see where this can be totally skewed in other situations.
