what happened to the actual 8 hour work day? I remember when work days used to be 8 hours a day, with a lunch included in that. usually Monday to Friday. Now it’s become a 8-4:30, 8:30-5 - 8.5 hours a day standard at most jobs, days offs drop Monday or a Wednesday and it really sucks. Less and less time for our own live
I left work at 5pm O' CLOCK (shift ends at that time). By 9pm I had 8 emails and a meeting invites for tomorrow. Why the hell do people feel the need to keep working into the evening?
It blows people away when I tell them at work I’m not responding to shit after 5pm. I workout after work. Spend 2 hours with my husband and kids. Why the hell should I have to give up one of those because someone couldn’t talk to me between the hours of 8-5? I know easy way is not answering but hate those notifications.
How can we change this?
