like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

Do millennials actually work more hours than their parents did? My dad worked 70 hours a week in a factory when I was growing up (12 hours M-F, 8 hours on Saturdays); Fuck that shit.

I did 10h mostly 1h ot, 1h banked, flex day and sometimes extra hours depending on if enough workers and safety staff were up for it. Also tried triple job at the lowest point. The difference from my dad who did similar hours in work that didn't even require post secondary schooling, is that I don't own a house after mine. I'm back to living with my parents at about an eighth of typical rent, and I guess I'll have a third of a house when they are gone but then I'll have to do more than just chores and tradesman work to keep it.
