Shaqadu Waa Sharaf. Even though they cut my hours at Walmart and I only now work 35hrs a week.

Walmart is smart, they do this, so that they don't have to pay u benefits. Anything under 40hrs, no benefits.

Nacalaa Walmart kuyaal.

exactly GAMER, work is good. work when you young and strong so you can rest later. if you take out years of schooling the best age to complish something in your career is between 25-45 years old.

unfortunately, ive to take my work to home too.

Exactly sxb. But nowadays and in the foreseeable future, you would need to work until 65 or 70 before u can retire.

Here in America, the money they give u goes to paying the bills and keeping a roof over ur head. So u have very little left to save. Most people work until 65 or later, unless they have other sources of income.

too much work will destroy the mind and health of humans that is why so many have mental problems in the west. Something holland realized they now have 29 hour per week and yet still get one of the highest salaries in the world how ? Because they are productive the quality of your work matters not the hours people in northern europe work much less than people in the developing world yet are much more wealthy the work has too have value

yes, if you work out to be fit and healthy so you can provide for your self and others. wah walba Allah ba lo niyooda o khair ah. if you sleep early to wake up to pray night time and preay fajir on the time that sleep is ebadah.


Gamer, we just do what we supposed to do, GAod is ultimate "al razaaq" . si niyad ah o halak ah o shaqeyso. Allah ba ko barakeyni. just try to live with your meanings and not over the top. sadaqadana wey barakeysa hoolaha.

Gamer according to the latest data Germany has one of the shortest working weeks in Europe the reason why they have the strongest economy in Europe is due to the value of their economy in fact greeks has most working hours in Europe yet their economy is shit
