How can you have a billionaire and an economic crisis?
I have worked 12h days, he can go fuck himself.
As long as this is about people in Russia and as long as this will lead to an end of the war, I don‘t care. Seems like sanctions pressure them to suggest this.
Fair point
Maybe we should remind billionaires that economists used to predict we’d work even less than we currently do? Keynes went as far as to predict we’d be working 15 hours a week by 2030.
Gulag, war or work. Its your choice!
Those are excellent choices for the billionaire!
My school tried to schedule me teaching 9 hours straight (sorry, with a 45 minute break, so a total of 9:45). Get fucked. Teaching is fraking energy intensive and I literally can’t keep going that long. Their reasoning? It’s hard to schedule the classrooms since we refuse to get enough of them, so we’ll just have the faculty and students have insane schedules. Did I mention it was also going to have university students be in class 9 hours per day? NO ONE can learn like that, but it’s really good at saving money.
ive seen on indeed there were jobs with 12hr work days, surprise, surprise which demographic it targets.
Some 12h days and even longer I’ve done have been alright. But that’s with +50% and after two hours +100% overtime pay and it wasn’t as a rule but rather an exception for a specific week
I worked 12h alternating day/night shifts on an irregular schedule for 4.5 years…
I don’t recommend it
That sounds horrifc tbh. For me the 12h+ shifts were just the work day continuing past the normal 8 hours and usually into the evening. Depending on the specific work pretty tiring but honestly not so bad. At least when you know it’s temporary, the weather isn’t too bad and if it doesn’t extend so much that you’ll be lacking sleep.
Oh yeah, it was shit.
I manned an internal IT helpdesk with 24/7 coverage for a global company.
This included holidays as well.
I worked three new years eves, terrible…
“And the sooner we switch to this new schedule—from 8 AM to 8 AM, including Saturdays—the faster we will undergo this transformation.”
Plus a six day workweek.
Reminder: When the billionaire says “we,” they mean you.
Reminder: When the billionaire says “it’s good for the economy,” you are not the economy.
72 h/week.
I have another proposal: 99% taxes above $1 million (equivalent) of income, including ALL income.
So, I don’t know how things work in specifically Russia, but in general, I think that it’s not so much the level of taxation as it is loopholes.
For example, can the companies that he controls be directed to lend him money on terms that he directs without it being taxed by the Russian state?
More-broadly, I’d guess that it would be exceptionally difficult to impose taxes on specifically him, because he’s buddies with Putin and tied up in control of the country. If the system is actively interested in avoiding taxing you, it’s likely going to find ways to not do so.
Property doesn’t need days off, make it Sunday too B) /s

And this plan will take only five years. As a matter of fact, we should call it a five-year plan.
So just another 996
Russian billionaire
economic crisis
12-hour workday
🤢
German chancellor Friedrich Merz likes that.
Don’t give Fotzenfritz ideas. He’ll hear it, get all jealous and demand a 36-hour workday.
Man these Russians are onto something

With Russian windows it’s always a possibility
For one I approve. Do it Sundays too. Why not make 16 hour days too?
If Russians don’t want to denefestrate Putin over war crimes, maybe they will do it if pushed to the personal breaking point.
If you think about it, working them to the bone is a great way to reduce their energy for a revolt
Long term a full demographic collapse is even better for everyone around Russia.
Would love to see them try to implement them. People will throw them out of the highest windows they can find.
I honestly think this is an April Fools. I recall the Russians have a sort of darkly twisted take on it.
Russians also have a darkly twisted take on reality…
alcohol distorts that reality quite well.
It said that the post was on Monday, which would be two days before April 1.
Maybe he could try not being a billionnaire anymore and giving back his money to society, so nobody needs to work for this leech?
I read 12 hours / week and thought damn Russians are progressive out of the sudden 💀
Why doesn’t he give up a few of his billions to help stabilise the economy instead? He’d barely miss them.
The only thing that interests me about this news is that оrkostan is in trouble. And that’s a good thing.
People in this thread think they are protected from this happening with them, while being governed by the same rules and principles. You disgust me.
That’s not for you to decide.
Formally, no, but he’s in Putin’s inner circle, so he might have considerable influence on that decision.
Yeah, but what i mean: same as with some CEO dude deciding “no homeoffice anymore”. Sorry, but you’re just gonna wreck your company with such a broad decision for all. Even more so for a whole nation.
