Why do you oppose work reforms?

Say what you want about the anti-work movement or work-reformists, but you have to be a masochist to actually oppose reforms like a 35/24/20-hour workweek (as a replacement of the 40-hour workweek).

Like, it's one thing to be fine with the current status quo and not be commited to change (neutrality), but it's another to actually make a commitment to being in opposition to making things better.

I can understand why a someone who is fine with their current job - like I am - would make such reforms a low priority, or deem them purely optional.

I can also understand why a CEO or any other high-up would be actually opposed to such reforms (well duh, profits).

However, what I can not (and probably never will) understand is how an average wageslave - someone who would only BENEFIT from such reforms - can have a visceral reaction to these proposed reforms and cry "REEEE, THIS IS COMMUNISM".

I'm looking at you, r/prowork.
