What happened to the 9-5?
Work days used to be 8 hours a day, with a lunch included in that. Now it’s become a 8-4:30, 8:30-5 - 8.5 hours a day standard at most jobs and it really sucks. Less and less time for our own lives
Edit to add:
People are surprisingly missing the point and assuming I’m just lazy and entitled?
We used to get paid a 40 hour work but only work 35-37.5 hours. (30-60min paid lunch)
I’ve seen places don’t even offer the 2x15 minute breaks that used to be standard on top of a lunch anymore.
We are now working minimum 40 hours and still only getting paid 40 hours despite being there longer and getting less time for our own lives.
How is this not upsetting?
I guess the title should have said “what happened to the actual 8 hour work day?”
