Why Don't Bullfighters Want Money or Vacations?

There is a disconnect between the reality of job precariousness and the apparent resignation of many workers, who seem to normalize grueling shifts and loss of buying power without demanding improvements.

The current job landscape for many seems like a long race with no reward. They speak of shifts exceeding **eight hours daily**, adding undeclared overtime and commuting time, leaving little to no room for personal life. Compounding this is a worrying loss of purchasing power, where buying capacity has been significantly eroded in recent decades.

## The Normalization of Precarity

The feeling is that the idea of being 'enslaved' in jobs that barely cover basic needs has become normalized. The gap between what is earned and the cost of living is widening, making goals like accessing housing almost impossible for a large part of the population. Even filling the shopping basket with what it took years ago has become a challenge.

## Why the Resignation?

In this situation, the question arises why there is no stronger demand for better conditions. The apparent lack of demandingness from workers, even when facing a loss of purchasing power compared to previous generations, causes confusion. The normalization of marathon shifts and the inability to maintain a lifestyle similar to that of decades past seem to be accepted without widespread protest.
