    Yeah that drives me nuts.

    People went from 9-5 to talking about 9-6, because that’s 8 hours of work and then breaks, but breaks were always a part of it. Factory shift workers doing 8 hours had time for a sandwich.

      Interesting. Breaks are very commonly unpaid in my country. So an 8 hour work day means being in the office for 8.5 hours.
