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.

    If you aren’t getting a paid lunch and two 15-minute breaks during your 8-hour shift, your employer is stealing from you.

      I’ve never had a paid lunch. 2 paid 15 min breaks and then unpaid lunch is the law where I am.

      Unless you are salaried. Being salaried normally comes with flexibility but gives no guarantees for breaks and number of hours worked.

        That works both ways. If you’re salaried and find yourself averaging more than 40 hours a week (including lunch/breaks), don’t.
