Well that’s because those jobs are managed and staffed for “capitalist efficiency” if we had more people with access to veterinary training we would have WAY more vets than just those who can afford the schooling, and I assume, low pay. then you could work 2 or 3 days a work on shifts with 2 or 3 times as many coworkers and support staff

It’s the whole rotten system that makes things shitty for those of us with actually important meaningful jobs, but it doesn’t have to be that way

100% the problems in our society start to make alot more sense, when you ask yourself if removing the profit motive would solve the problem

Did you read my comment at all? There are a lot of reasons beyond "capitalist efficiency" that a 2 or 3 day work week is impractical in a medical field. I even brought up a major one that you conveniently ignored.

I'm not at all trying to say that there aren't problems with work culture, especially in medicine. I'm simply pointing out that the claim "no one ever needs to work more the 2 or 3 days without capitalism" falls apart when you start looking at jobs outside of pencil pusher desk jobs.

oops, sorry, I did miss that part of your comment accidentally. You're definitely not wrong about that part not being as simple as availability of skills

It could at least be alleviated by having some sort of rotation system where you get extended periods of lighter duty or time off so you aren't just ground into dust. I didn't mean to make it seem like I was saying categorically no one will work more than 2 or 3 day weeks, but a similar effect could be worked towards. Basically, I'm just saying shit doesn't have to be fucked.

I should also mention, I also work a job that even in an ideal communist space future, I would still probably work 4 or 5 days a week by necessity, my life just wouldn't be hellish
