Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.


Not really true. At least in Germany, the health workers are also extremely overworked. From nurses to surgeons. It’s a big problem

How many hospital administrators making 7 figures are working 24hr shifts?
In Deutschland gibt es eine gesetzliche wöchentliche Höchstarbeitszeit. Ja die kann in Notfällen undso überschritten werden, aber die Leute arbeiten nicht oft 24h am Stück ohne Pause als wäre das etwas völlig normales
In theory, absolutely. Sadly, not always followed
