This, but the thing is it used to be 8 hours total including the hour or so lunch, 9-5 right, and now its 8 hours of literal work with three smaller breaks, an extra hour of work a day still.
Comment on Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.?

I noticed recently that MS Teams allows you to set a workday that defaults to 9 hours. I found that odd, but if most people in the US have a 9 hour day with a 30 min lunchbreak and two 15 minute other breaks, I guess it makes sense?

Where I live there’s a mandated 30 minute unpaid lunch break and two paid 15 minute breaks for any workday of 8 hours or more. So that’s an 8.5 hour day unless lunch is longer.

Lol I didn’t count well, good point 8.50 instead of 9.

Teams defaults are pure scummery.
No, don’t alert me on a Sunday night with notifications that I might have missed over the last two days.
