your time gets swallowed up by having to work longer hours

Question

سلام

معنی جمله بالا چیه؟

پیشاپیش ممنونم

Answer 1

It seems the speaker is not happy with the new working hours so he says all his time is used up and he's left with nothing more to do what he likes.

'swallow up' means use a a lot of something, as in

'Campaigning swallows up a lot of time without guaranteeing success.'
