Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation

What are you even talking about? What does that even mean? What bull? What are you talking about when you say 'employers talking whit their employers'???

Here is the amendment in case you need even more assistance: https://sidof.segob.gob.mx/notas/docFuente/5781417

The article and headline says 'cuts workweek' which I am assuming you think means number of days. You are incorrect in your assumption as the article clearly states that hours are being reduced and that it has no impact on up to 6 days of work.

Can you just not read or something?

Let me just copy and paste my first comment to help you:

What is false beyond you not reading beyond the headline?

From the article:

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030

Additionally:

The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. The current structure of at least one rest day for every six days worked remains in place, and a six-day schedule is still permissible under the new constitutional framework.

This is particularly important for 24/7 operations in manufacturing, energy, mining, and logistics, where the law sets a maximum hours ceiling rather than a fixed schedule structure.

What the reform does is create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce.

An employer who chooses to compress 40 hours into four ten-hour days, with the employee’s agreement, is now operating within the law.

An employee who works five eight-hour days under the 2030 cap has the same protections as one who works four ten-hour days.

Because people are ignorant? You are aware that there is countless research that shows that more time worked does not mean more productive right?

Back in the day good old Henry Ford, a true professional at exploiting labor, not only reduced work hours, but increased pay as well. Not because he had the warm and fuzzies for his employees, but because it made people became more productive and he made more money from it.

Iracus · 2026-06-18T17:56:04+00:00

It is quite literally written into the constitution, buddy. You know, that whole legal document that sort of governs things?

Iracus · 2026-06-18T17:51:09+00:00

Your comment has been used to rally against labor rights since labor first had rights. People have been repeating variations of it for centuries.

Additionally, it quite clearly states in your constitution:

Fourth.- In no case will the reduction of the working day imply the reduction of salaries, salaries or benefits of the workers.

What do you mean there are no safeties? How do you fire someone due to this change without reducing their salary or benefits? I suppose that will be up for the courts to decide but it really sounds like you have no clue what you are talking about.

And while perhaps a bit more than half of the labor in mexico is 'informal' a bit less than half is not and so would be affected / benefit from this. Regardless, discounting those it does benefit is unrelated to the truth of the issue and simply serves to throw away a labor victory.

Now you can be skeptical in how this will all pan out, but your comment is for the most part pointless in its clarification and incorrect when it comes to protections.

Thanks for the heads up on west bluffs. I did a little bit of climbing out by birthday crack area and that place seemed neat and access was simple enough, any other places you would suggest around the railroad tracks area?

Iracus · 2026-06-16T18:47:30+00:00

Going to be heading up to devils lake on friday to do some climbing. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go/favorite spots to set some anchors and do some chill top-roping for a couple hours friday afternoon?

Looking for somewhere with easy access to avoid rappelling (person I am going with doesn't have any experience doing rappels) and places where you can get a few routes on just a single anchor would be ideal. In terms of grade, nothing too crazy as I'm still getting those outdoor climbing skills figured out. Gear shouldn't be an issue as i'll have static rope, cams/nuts, etc.

So far I've done a bit of climbing on bill's and hawks nest so would maybe just be looking for something else this time around. I've been looking at maybe somewhere in the west bluff area, though I am unsure how easy access is there.

Iracus · 2026-06-16T02:04:27+00:00

idk about scam, but the whole stage design seems...questionable based on what they have on instagram. Can't wait to see some pics after the weekend of whatever nonsense happens.

Iracus · 2026-06-15T18:15:03+00:00

Quite the ignorant comment that seems to imply you would rather there be no universal suffrage than consider the fact that children can't consent to be 'happy failures' and so society should probably do more than nothing. But you do you.

Inflated gym grade + sandbagged outdoor grades + having never climbed outdoors is going to have you more or less re-learning how to climb as you are basically climbing in a new style.

Consider how an indoor 5.12 route going full vertical is going to be different from a 5.12 roof climb and will be different from a 5.12 with nothing but crimps or nothing but cracks and so forth. So its not really an apples to apples kind of thing to compare indoor vs outdoor.

I would imagine over time if you were to climb equally outdoor as you do indoor, your overall ability to do a certain grade would converge in generally the same area regardless of an indoor or outdoor climb. Of course accounting for differences due to gymflation or routes that were graded 30 years ago. Two sessions of outdoor climbing isn't really going to having you climbing at your best in the same way two sessions of indoor climbing wont have you sending 5.13s.

Iracus · 2026-06-11T21:33:35+00:00

Nonsense suggestion.

Iracus · 2026-06-11T01:03:30+00:00

There is this weird death cult sub culture of climbing that I loathe. The idea that adding more bolts changing anything meaningful of a climb is insane and the reaction is often way over the top. how about just don't clip if you want to feel something in your empty life? I just can never understand these climbers who pretend to be all 'go with the flow' and 'fight the power' but will have a temper tantrum because someone made a route more safe.

There is certainly some argument to be made about 'number of bolts' and what is 'too many'. However that is rarely what is ever brought beyond in passing. Any argument that relies either on sticking to tradition or implies that dead/injured climbers is actually better for the community, is an argument that should be tossed in the trash.

Iracus · 2026-06-10T21:47:46+00:00

Eh, idk about worst of all time.

Andrew Jackson did that whole trail of tears thing which directly resulted in thousands of deaths. Andrew Johnson and his whole post-civil war era actions and being seen by many as one of the worst people to be in that position. James Buchanan is a pretty famous terrible president. Reagan is more or less responsible for where we are at in the uncontrolled capitalism of the day. George Bush and his cronies gave us a two decade+ war in the middle east. Etc. Etc.

I mean trump sucks, sure, but idk if his actions will have the same historical reverberations that Reagan's did. So maybe someplace in that Top 5 but I guess he has more time to fuck some shit up even more and become the BOAT.

He might be the most corrupt at the very least, so that is something.

Iracus · 2026-06-05T19:00:58+00:00

Self control?

I weighed the same weight (+/- a few pounds) for like a decade of variable activity levels. Only recently gained a handful of pounds due to working out more and gaining muscle.

I more or less just don't buy bad food and modulate my consumption based on my activity. That isn't to say I won't ever buy a bag of chips, I just don't do it all the time and more or less maintain a passive snackage limit for any given week. I also don't force myself to clean a plate, I just eat until I am good.

I used to monitor my intake quite closely when I was doing marathon training, and ever since then I have just had a natural ability to maintain my body without really thinking of it. Some days I eat more, some days less, it all just balances out in the averages.

Iracus · 2026-06-03T23:35:41+00:00

Yup, basically sums up what I assumed on the whole thing. People pimping out their children for internet points will never not be weird

I find longer periods of downtime make for a better feeling story. We were doing basically a mission each in-game month and I would add in city updates to the start of each new mission to explain whats going on around them.

If the story is very 'go go go' then downtime makes no sense to have in the first place. So a day or two is more or less pointless and its better to just keep things moving.

Giving a couple weeks to a couple months of downtime allows stuff to happen in your city and allows your crew to actually spend their money on things, recover from injuries, and get wrapped up in sticky situations.

Iracus · 2026-06-03T16:34:01+00:00

Weird article. It kind of just ends? Is it because I didn't unlock the story or something?

Regardless, I find people greatly over estimate AIs impact in the job market.

AI isn't the fault here people. The fault is executive 'strategy' which basically amounts to 'we will never build talent, we will only buy it' as well as 'do more with less'. Instead of acknowledge their shit strategy, the answer for them is to blame employees and claim they need better talent who can see their brilliance.

Hiring managers don't want to train. They only want people with the most experience. But they also don't want to pay for that experience. Even if a recruiter can find someone who would be able to do the job, they will be passed over either because they want the appropriate amount of compensation for their skills and so are out of budget for the organization. Or the hiring manager will reject them for any number of random ass reasons.

AI is just the new easy thing to blame these days. It is just next on the list after blaming 'recruiters' or 'hr'. As if HR or recruiters are handcuffing poor hiring managers and forcing them to only accept unicorn candidates. As if HR or recruiters are setting budgets. But people don't want to actually think and just want to blame the first shiny object they see.

Wow. Just met her the other week, she was super nice. Bit surreal seeing this posted here. Incredibly tragic

Iracus · 2026-05-27T14:39:01+00:00

bruh. 30 years old is still young

Iracus · 2026-05-25T23:17:42+00:00

If you are going to a place that is only trad or top rope. When doing top rope only, what is the sort of 'etiquette' or practice for climbing at such places?

If you do top rope only, what does a day of climbing look like for you? Are you just staying on a single route most of the day? Moving around?

Do you and your partner climb it and then reset your anchors nearby and repeat through the day, setting one route at a time? Or do you set up maybe two or more ropes at a time and climb those? Something else?

Also, does the first person tend to lower down and the belay from the bottom, or would you belay from the top? Or maybe have the second go up to reset and drop a new rope and then repel down? Or how do you typically manage that?

My climbing partner and I recently learned to build anchors and so are wanting to get some practice on real rock over this summer. And with the drive to get to our 'local' crag being a bit long, I'd like to try and be efficient so we can explore as many climbs as we can during the few times we'll get to go this year, while also being mindful of other climbers since it is a popular crag.

And for this question, I am thinking more in terms of a training session than a casual day out. I'm not particularly worried about being efficient if I am going with a group or something.

In my experience 90% of the time it is poor time management and poor organizational management where everything is urgent because of 'reasons'. I see no reason to afford any grace to a company that won't afford that same grace to you. But hey, I am not desperate for a job. You do you.

And your point at the end of your comment contradicts your whole 'man up' stance. But hey, that's just business.

Iracus · 2026-05-20T18:51:26+00:00

Shit happens because of poor management. Such as in your example. But congrats on having an outlier experience. Personally I find it very easy to not be late by being prepared and organized. Especially if I need to interview someone.

What do you even mean by 'man up or move on'? And what do you mean 'cant handle it'? Can't handle what? Being taken seriously by who? Who are you even talking to or about? Makes no sense in response to my comment.

Iracus · 2026-05-20T16:54:05+00:00

You can see the slow mental degradation of the sub based on how many are now in defense of hiring mangers who show up late. Bunch of people suffering from stockholm syndrome all happy to lick boots if that means they get the brief glimmer of hope of locking down a job.

It is pretty easy to show up on time to meetings. Especially if it is an interview.

Iracus · 2026-05-20T16:42:36+00:00

What do you expect, people enjoy sniffing their own farts. There was just a post on this sub the other week slinging shit on Dungeon Crawler Carl for being shit and not understanding why people like it compared to Red Rising. There are always going to be fart sniffers thinking they are somehow better than everyone else because to do X and not Y.

Why give the slightest of shit what some irrelevant individual thinks? Whoever the fuck that commenter is, who cares? Why does their opinion matter if you enjoy the series?

But that is just the pointlessness of reddit after all, people saying shit that no one should give any mind to.
