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.

    Not US, but Canada. I don’t work a desk job, but but drive around doing work out of a van full of tools, with ladders on top.

    Most days I can do 6-2, 7-3, 8-4, 9-5, how ever I want… After 8 hrs I get over time. After 12 hrs is double time.

    Lunch is paid.

    Usually I set an alarm, either get up, or snooze a bit, and find myself on the job site sometime between 7 and 8 put in 8 hrs of work that day, and go home unless we get busy and something comes up, and the over time is there if I want it. I take it more often than not. It pays off come Christmas time as a pay bonus
