[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't the work day used to be 9-5, inclusive of lunch? I'm an older millennial/young Gen X, and I've put in the unpaid time to get the experience and position myself for more opportunities, but I don't look down on those who can't or won't do that. We really should respect the balance of work and personal time. [/quote]

The boomers made a song lamenting the 9-5, which meant they were actually paid for lunch (3 🍸 s), so I hardly think Gen Z pushing back against the hourly creep is unwarranted.

We will see more of this, since Gen Z fully understands that working hard and producing results just results in more work, and that promotions and pay raises go to the boss’s mini-me, rather than the workers pulling long hours and getting things done. [/quote]

Boomers never worked 9-5 - my hours were 830 to 645 with a 15 minute lunch so a good 10 hour work day. In busy times I hit 40 hours by Wed [/quote]

Only people working those hours were high paid executives, who counted gold games as “work”[/quote]
