Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss's
I’m not a capitalist, but I do hate bureaucracy. Especially when it’s just a fantasy for the sake of compliance. Because nobody I know actually reports their real hours. The company just tells the employees they are responsible for timekeeping. If you don’t report the exact number of official hours every day you get penalised. Besides that the pressure on employees (not on me like I said but on some others in the same company yes) is still as hard as ever. I have no ambitition to rise in my career so for me it’s a bit different.
What I object to is this law not actually improving things but companies weaseling out of it as usual.
If nobody reports their real hours, why do you complain in the first place? Time reports take 5 minutes, tops. I know because I had to do it for a while.
hint: you’re not a capitalist, you’re a piece of capital in a system that requires you to sell yourself to the owners so you can afford to live. you’re a “resource.”
Yes I do understand I’m just a capitalist so I’ll pretend it affects me negatively. Think about my strawman instead

Because it’s another hassle in my work day. Like I said I hate bureaucracies, especially unnecessary ones.
Five minutes is a hassle now?
What’s the alternative, then? Employers reporting employees time?
