For me, the math here ain't mathing. Work + commute + lunch = only 9 hours? Nah bro. I don't live at work. Stuffing your face in 15min is bad enough.
Don't anglos count lunch break as work? "Working 9 to 5" is just 8 hours, so either you skip lunch or you count it as work time.
Around here we don't, and my job for example has a mandatory 1-hour lunch break, so 9 hours are all taken up from clock-in to clock-out, nevermind commute.
I've never had a 9-to-5 that was actually 9 to 5. It always starts at 7:30 or 8.
That got tossed out awhile ago.
Y'all are getting an hour for your meal break? I've never had a job that gave us more than 30 minutes...
My first job had 2 hours, not great since you always got back home late. Previous job was flexible, so I could take either 30 minutes or 1 hour, I preferred 30 minutes, as, again, it allowed me to leave earlier. Now I'm forced to take 1 hour, but at least I've flexible work hours, so I can clock in between 8 and 9, and leave when my 8 hours are up.
Yeah that's how it works in the UK. I work 9.30-6 with a 1 hour dinner break.
