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.

    9-5 is definitely no longer standard, although traffic does get noticeably worse here after 8am.

    That being said, what is their justification for 7-5? Unless you’re taking a 2 hour unpaid lunch, that’s mandatory overtime, which most companies aren’t super fond of paying.

      they said the US so I’m assuming the company doesn’t really do anything properly and no one regulates it
