So I started a new job where the office culture requires being at work between 7:30-8:00. Every job I've worked in St. Louis was just fine with an 8:30-9:00 start time. This bums me out (and again I'm in sales).

Yeah I've gotta be at work at 7 too. I'd much rather work 8-5 or 9-6 than 7-4.

7:30 - 5:30 with a half hour lunch.

More hours per year than before, more money, and happiness times...a lot.

Ew, 7:00 really sucks. Most of the 7:30 requirements are for morning meetings. Our owner doesn't like "clock watchers" which usually means you show up at 7:45 and leave at 5:15. Doesn't clock watching go both ways? Do you want an employee who's not available when you need them in the evening? It all seems ridiculous in the scheme of things when numbers/productivity shows an employee's value? I've never been a fan of babysitting employees to get results from them.

Did I mention I can't surf GRB during work hours now?

See, that got your attention. Why do you think I'm posting like a fiend when no one is on here? Taking away my GRB is grounds for quitting. Well that, and Mr. Planet's in CA for the week.

Deal breaker there. This combined with the hours demands sound to me like indications of a bad employer attitude. What happened to the last job?

My typical hours are 11:30-10:00 or 1:00-11:30...but I actually like it that way (lack of breaks and commute aside). Bust butt at work for 30 hours in 3 days to make a living and the rest of the week is mine to spend on school/studying/etc.

When I'm an overnight pharmacist it'll be similar, but on a grander scale...10:00pm to 8:00am for seven days on, then I have seven days off. Beautiful.
