Work in IT. Start at 9:00 Lunch 13:00-14:00 Go home at 18:00

IT Job I left:

start at 8
coffee 10-1030-ish (sometimes like 11)
lunch at 12-13
second coffee 15-1530
leave at 1647, home by 1720 by train -- tools down, muthafuckas
voluntary standby for 1/4 time and immediate double-time for callouts, sanctity of personal time otherwise.
union, 9x9 work term, no abrupt firings.
EXACTLY on the median base salary for my job+region, which includes dot-coms.
in north america, no less.

Experience: About 5 years without college/uni.

Experience: my soul.

Both of y'all are melting American brains trying to do the math on figuring out what times you're talking about.

Most Americans have no clue that 13:00 is 1:00pm because 12+1 is too difficult, and God help you if you say 22:00, because 22-12 might as well be euclidean geometry.
