Wake up from that terrible nightmare and go to my 4-day/week job?

Stay in the union .

I love what I do, and work+uni combined, I approach the 70h/week of time investment anyways.

Though it only works because I like investing the extra time - I might start hating it, if it becomes the normality.

I fear many people in differing fields would get overworked quickly, the birth-rate would drop, as well as overall GDP.

Small acts of rebellion. Take extra long breaks. Automate parts of my job and then don’t tell anybody that I did it. Break some shit on purpose and act like it was an accident. Steal as much stuff that isn’t nailed down as possible. The list would go on, but I’d honestly have no idea what I would actually do in that situation.

I’m certainly not giving it 100% at whatever job I’m working at. I would say form a union, but that’s hard to do when you are working for 56 hour workweeks plus commute, not including overtime. That’s assuming the 7 day workweek remains 8 hour shifts rather than moving down to something like 6 hour shifts with an unpaid lunch break.

The longest I ever did it was 5 weeks straight working 12 hour nights too. Everyone thought I’d quit, but I ran circles around them.

Everyone basically gets way less productive, especially with any physically strenuous activity. It’s like you/your body knows full recovery is not an option. You don’t get more done, you’re just there when shit hits the fan.

I personally adjusted just fine. It is no different than slavery. All labor is technically wage slavery. I owned my own business before and after that job. Owning your own business is no different. The line between your life and your business is irrelevant when it is your own business, especially if you have employees.

Call in sick 3 days a week.

I join whatever new labor movement forms and sharpen my guillotine.

I basically already have a 168h workweek since I’m always on call.

Edit: no one should have to work this bullshit. I’ll do it so you don’t have to

Join the global strike that would inevitably happen.

I’m WFH with a pretty chill work day except I’m on standby 24/7 in case of something stupid happens at work. So not much would change for me, honestly.

Switch to freelance.

Switch to a part time job.

I work 35 hours a week, and I go to university for around 25. Last year I had 7 day weeks all year and it was very much not fun.

I could do it if I had to for a bit, but the whole ‘being too exhausted to exist’ thing gets old fast.

By changing the global standard.
