An hour for lunch, a few 15 minute breaks, a bathroom stop, a conversation in a hallway, makes 6 hrs an 8 hour workday.
Everyone's workday has always been this way.
- jdblair 3y agoMaybe everyone's white collar job is this way? There are plenty of jobs, like assembly line work, where an 8 hours day is not likely to be less than 7 hours of work (30 minutes for lunch, two 15 minute breaks). Source: I worked factory jobs for a temp agency over the summer while I was in high school (in 1990, before light industry was gutted in NE Ohio).
- b112 3y agoYes, I worked such jobs, unionized even, with the same sort of rules. (Cheese plant when in college) But that's the way of it. Different jobs have different requirements, and different cultures. Assembly line work obviously cannot have people wandering off whenever they choose. Most white collar workers, have more choice, and the longer lunch, is part of the pay.
