Ever since I graduated, everywhere I’ve worked has been 8-5. My current company is going to soon start expecting us to be in 7-5.

How many of you here work a 9-5 with a paid lunch?

Productivity keeps going up but so do working hours.

    This, but the thing is it used to be 8 hours total including the hour or so lunch, 9-5 right, and now its 7. 5 hours of literal work with three smaller breaks, an extra 30 mins of work a day still.

    (fixed lol thanks)

      Where I live there’s a mandated 30 minute unpaid lunch break and two paid 15 minute breaks for any workday of 8 hours or more. So that’s an 8.5 hour day unless lunch is longer.
