Who knew that working people less means they have time to have kids?

It's always amazing to see study after study confirming totally obvious relationships yet policy makers and corporations still choose to ignore all of it.

Who cares that they will have 20% fewer workers in 2+ decades when you could have 2% more profit this year?

And yet corporations rely heavily on their shill research study findings to advertise

It really wouldn't be an issue if workplace sex was easily possible. If you spend the whole day there you might at least multitask and make new workers while inputting data into Excel.

Office sex DOES exist, but only accessible by the higher echelons of corporate management ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well considering I saw another post talking about investing in AI and UBI, one can hope.

Haven't they just increased max working hours?

The 69 hours a week bill got defeated. Apparently someone suggested 69 as a way of getting more babies, and the PM was like "hours of work a week? Deal!"

I hope you're not joking, that's hilarious

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That the bill got defeated, and that the cap was 69 hours of work is true. Sadly, the rest was a joke.

I feared so
