What "old standard"? For Europe maybe? (I honestly don't know if that's what you meant).
If you are talking about the United States, people have had a 40 hour work week for much longer than I've been alive.
- tbihl 10y agoMaybe parent is saying (7 working+ 1 lunch)*5 days as a 35 hour week.
- nocman 10y agoHuh? That's exactly what I was refuting. He was saying working 35 hours a week (7 hour days with lunch being paid) is "the old standard". My whole life I don't think I've ever known someone who got a paid lunch. Almost everyone I know works 40 hours a week outside of their lunch hours (at a minimum).
