Living time is not working time though. That we just should normalise more. Shitty employers are trying to make people work overtime regardless, so the solution for that is the same, no matter where are you physically.
I absolutely agree that we should however it's a prisoners dilemma. The person who is willing to sacrifice their living time to work is a more desirable employee than someone who respects their living time, and we're seeing automation replace not only laborious jobs but cerebral and creative jobs as well. We're just starting to see the next generation of jobs being replaced by more advanced automation and AI. I don't think we're all doomed but the future is beginning to look pretty uncertain.
