#85 -Working 9-5 is absolutely bogus...

from Treeforts and Mixtapes Hosted by Bret Nelson and Josh Brence

This week, Bret and Josh ask the question every Gen X and Millennial has muttered under their breath since 2007: Why are we still working 9–5? They dig into how a schedule built for factories, steam engines, and men in suspenders somehow became the default for people with laptops, text messages, and carpool duty. It’s history, humor, and a gentle roast of the Industrial Revolution — and maybe the reminder that the world has changed… but our calendars haven’t caught up…and we still want to be able to take a daily nap.
