An interesting, but crucial aside: who still works a classic, 8 hour workday? It seems like an anachronism this day and age, at least in my experience. While companies technically demand 40 hours per week and no more, most corporate cultures unofficially pressure employees into 10 or even 12 hour days. 8 to 7 has been pretty typical of many of the firms for which I've worked. Sometimes those hours are extended on either end; sometimes they're condensed. But they're always more than 8 hours.
