        You can only squeeze so much productivity out of workers until they snap. This is an insane practice

        Americans now put in an average of 122 more hours per year than Brits, and 378 hours (nearly 10 weeks!) more than Germans.

        When, in fact, the problem is the absurd premise that our economy can produce ever more with ever less.

        And just to further fuel your outrage, that 22 percent increase in profits? Most of it accrued to a single industry: finance.

        In other words, all that extra work you’ve taken on—the late nights, the skipped lunch hours, the missed soccer games—paid off. For them.

        So maybe it’s time to come out of the speedup closet. Rant to a friend, neighbor, coworker. Hear them say, “Me too.”
