Hi, I come from academia and I’m moving into industry. I’m used to the whole, “you work 60 h a week, but you choose the times” kind of thing. Anyways, I was just hired by a company and HR keeps passive-aggressively emailing me that their hours are “830 am to 6 p.m.” So my question is this, “can they demand I put in 9.5 h of work per day in a salary job”? The problem arises because it would require me to be in the office for all those hours, and that doesn’t make sense.
