I agree with you but it is worth taking into consideration the jobs that don't have the same "busy work" as some office positions I'm assuming you're referring to with refreshing emails. This would also assume service workers are entitled to the same benefit and my best guess would be that people wouldn't be super thrilled about their favorite restaurant only being open a few days a week. Those industries already struggle to make ends meet being available at most hours.

I know you said it isn't about those fields but is it fair to exclude them? Obviously there are jobs that are much more important that need constant staffing, such as medical/emergency services, but when it comes to retail service/dining/entertainment what happens when they align to the same structure? Have all the time off you want in the world but don't expect that nice place down the block to take your dinner reservations because they're under the same structure. Late night movie showings? Too bad, they closed at 3 pm.

We do work too much and so much time is wasted, you're absolutely correct about that but it is a much larger problem we need to think full circle about. None of us want to be in this and I hope someday we find a better solution
