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.

    I work a 5-8 flex, so typically I’ll do 9 hour days, 7 to 4, where I get the 10th day off. In theory I could do a 9 to 5, but we’re asked to be in during 8 to 2 for the mechanics and I want the extra day off. I work as an engineer.

    Lunch is a little ambiguous, we can take a lunch in the office and it’s laid back, but if we leave the office we can leave for an hour and go somewhere and come back, but that’s not paid. Officially.

    Things are slow now so our team went to Red Robin and spend a while there and discussed work for a few minutes. We called it a work lunch and a team bonding activity and don’t speak of it to any higher ups.
