    Unrelated but this is literally the first time in my life I’ve seen an actual 9-5 job, I only ever see 8-5 or 9-6

            But do you get paid for 8 hour days or 9 hour days?

            8 to 5 is 9 hours. They don’t get to not pay you for your lunch break.

              You get paid for the month. You arent paid by the hour, you are paid for working for them.

              Its a different mindset

                OK so next time you’ve done your work for the day, try going home early. Do let us know how it goes.

                You aren’t paid by the hour as long as it suits the company. As soon as it suits you, you’re damn well going to sit there until 5pm staring at the ceiling if you have to, THEN you can go home.

      That extra hour of wage theft is why it’s the most prevalent kind of theft.

          The only good thing about the security industry in my country is all breaks are paid. However if there is a security emergency on your break you need to drop everything and sort it, as these things tend to be time sensitive.

          That said do NOT get into the security industry, workers are treated terribly by the public and higher ups, if you can imagine.
