Most of my friends have had jobs where a day off is worth more than a small bonus. It is not even about money. What matters most to them (and me) are the simple things: family dinners, lazy afternoons, and time to read new ideas or work on new projects or just play games with the community (Yeah, I might talk about our bitcointalk Poker events haha). The governments keep asking normal people to sacrifice, while they avoid the real problems, like how work and taxes are set up
What would you do when your country attempted this? Would you work more days for the same money? Do you believe it does any good?
Or is it just another method of old systems to transfer the pain to ordinary people, and to pretend that things will be better soon?
We are all employees who are working 8 hours more or less just so that we have something that we can use for our expenses, but we are also human beings, and human beings need some rest in both their physical, and mental as well. Working for more then not being paid seems like a modern-day slavery at least for me.Most of my friends have had jobs where a day off is worth more than a small bonus. It is not even about money.

Health is wealth, and having day-offs adds is a positive thing to our mental health. Day-offs means those things that you shared, but to add on it, I will also add "time to sleep" because we all need those sleeping hours to cope up with the stress that we got working hours after hours for consecutive days.
Sacrificing for the country might be good AS LONG AS you're being paid with the right amount, but sacrificing without any benefit is just stupidity. Fortunately for our country, they aren't implementing this, but the companies are the one that's implementing this for the sake of their company. There are some companies that are underpaying their employees, but giving more workload which is for me, slavery. As for your question, hell no. Working more = more stress, and I want to be compensated with those stress that I got because that might've affect me mentally. Sacrifice? That's bullsh*t. It does good to those companies, or the government, but not for those who are working. Resting is a necessity, and we need it for us to be productive in the succeeding days.
