I don’t want an hour lunch if it means I have to stay at work longer
I see so many jobs advertising with “Hour lunch!” As a benefit and the operating hours are 8-5 or some shit. And as someone who has worked that exact schedule, what’s the point of a long lunch if I have to get up earlier? I’d rather work 9-5 with a 30 minute lunch or 9-5:30 or ANYTHING that doesn’t make me get up earlier and keep me away from home longer. “Go home during your lunch!” So I can do what? That’s still 30 minutes of actual break and ~30 odd minutes of driving, which is a net loss in funds. I’d rather get paid for that 30 minutes and clock out earlier so I can go home and relax.
