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.

    Unfortunately a lot of employers expect eight effective working hours a day so you’ll see a lot of people working 9-5:30 and stuffing a Sammy down their gullet in their ten minutes of freedom in the middle of the day.

    We’re guaranteed the ability to take a lunch break without retribution but it being paid or unpaid is less of a guarantee - especially if you’re salaried (aka hourly but not paid overtime).

      Yes, a lot of employers expect to be able to commit wage theft with impunity. That doesn’t mean you let them get away with it!
