I'm at a non-profit and we work 9-5 with, technically, a 30 minute lunch break. So when we take a PTO day, it is 7.5 hours instead of 8. I'm remote though, so I just work through lunch or take that time to cook something.

That's it.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Many research jobs are like that
My last job was 9-5 with a paid lunch. It was toxic AF tho
I have one actually. I'm in NH if that's relevant.
I'm going to guess you mean New Hampshire in the USA?
Well, yes, the question said "in the USA" so I didn't think I'd have to specify but I should probably still have used the full name for people who don't live here.
Good point, it did mention US in the title
9 to 5 is just a phrase referencing a standard full time day shift job not about the specific start/stop times
I'm 7-3. I eat lunch at my desk while I work so I can leave early.
Sure. If you graduated from Harvard with a business degree and have the connections to walk straight into a board room. Everyone else works 7-5 with a 30 minute lunch you're expected to eat at your desk. Also PTO is a trap and IT can't fix your printer because they're still working on the other printer.
8-430 and I get an hour for lunch. Works out to a 7.5 hour workday.
I am technically on 8am-5pm, though the boss lets us stop responding to emails at 430pm and head home. I'd have to answer a call or text, but that never happens. I get 1h unpaid lunch.
My coworkers come in a half hour later but only get a half hour lunch. I like the longer break, so I'm find with it. Technically, we're all salaried, so we can show up a bit late or leave a bit early so long as we communicate with the boss about it.
My job is basically 9-5 (salaried), but no paid lunch. If I want to take lunch, it doesn't count towards the hours I work during the day.
Most of the year I work 8 to 6-8 few months in the winter its 8-430. With a forced 30min unpaid lunch.
I work a 5-8 flex, so typically I'll do 9 hour days, 7 to 4, where I get the 10th day off. In theory I could do a 9 to 5, but we're asked to be in during 8 to 2 for the mechanics and I want the extra day off. I work as an engineer.
Lunch is a little ambiguous, we can take a lunch in the office and it's laid back, but if we leave the office we can leave for an hour and go somewhere and come back, but that's not paid. Officially.
Things are slow now so our team went to Red Robin and spend a while there and discussed work for a few minutes. We called it a work lunch and a team bonding activity and don't speak of it to any higher ups.
I do 4 10s, 7 to 5 l, have of weekends and Thursdays.
I'm not american but here the norm is 9-6. But we do have 1 hour paid lunch by law.
I work 8-4 with a paid lunch and I'm hourly. Don't think it was like this at previous jobs though
Work in excess of 40 hrs per week is generally guaranteed overtime pay so that so called company you supposedly work for is really doing itself dirty if its requiring its employees to put in such hours.
I’m more inclined to assume you’re just a troll doing some soft propaganda so not really interested in any further conversation—but if you’re a real person and you really do work for a company that’s just gonna start requiring working over 40 hrs a week id suggest reporting the company to your state’s department of labor and finding a new place to work.
