Is there a word for something like free time privilege? Where the whole world seems to assume that, if you work, you work 8am-5pm or so, and you have evenings and weekends free? That only underclass people work odd hours, and instead of working around your hours, it's up to you to find a "better" job with hours that conform to *their* schedule? Especially if they also demand evening/weekend services.
I just see all the time people saying odd hour jobs are bad for you, often mentioning mental health specifically, and the only option to address it is to recommend changing jobs, which helps(?) that individual but it's still a zero sum game. There's a lot of social isolation, yes, but I've never seen anyone suggest we as a society stop forcing a "normal" workday as a way to address it.
@Mycroft One forces the other, too. As long as "normal" means having weekends and evenings open, those are the times people will want to do things like shop or will need things cleaned and re-stocked, etc. And they get annoyed when things they need to do aren't available to them. The outrage I get when I have to tell people we're closing...sheesh.
So the more people we have working those "normal" hours, the more people will need those isolating jobs and face those problems. It does seem to make a lot more sense to just make "normal" more varied and stop the separation of "good" jobs and necessary ones and how we treat the people who do them.
