Does everyone get a paid lunch hour? We don’t get paid for lunch so our shifts are 8-5 or 9-6.

I don't really have a set lunch time either. I might take 20 minutes and eat at my desk. I might go out to eat and run errands and take 2 hrs.

My schedule is mostly flexible. I also have to be on call and work in the middle of the night sometimes though.

Sales people have about a 1 hour per day work window.

I work 8-4:30 with 30 min lunch. I can flex around that if needed for doctor's appointments, etc (come in early or stay late).


We also take turns carrying a phone 24/7 for any infection control questions/emergencies in the hospital.

I’m 6 AM to 10 PM some days and 10 AM to 3 PM some days with an hour lunch in there . It totally depends what’s going on. Probabaly truly work about 50 hours a week on average.

Even here it's sporadic. They're getting their 40 hours in.

You’ve listened to a Dolly song recently haven’t you.
I know of nobody who starts at 9:00.

9am is common in the NE bc of commute times, but they work late. Unless they are Jewish, on a Friday. Have to be home before sundown, for Shabbat, which is crazy to me.

I haven’t worked more than 7 hours a day in a long time. Hell, I don’t think I work more than 7 hours a week now that I think about it.

9-5 jobs definitely exist. They're for people who want to half-arse their way through a career and wonder why they got laid off at 53 in favor of new blood.


Yeah, totally. Well, that or bust your arse for 20 years to make yourself indispensable and put yourself in a position be somewhat coddled.
