So, through my lifetime that "Work 8 hours" somehow evolved into:
Leave for work at 7am. Show up for work by 8am. Get an hour for lunch, unpaid. Leave work at 5pm. Get home approximately 6pm, if you don't stop to buy groceries or something.
I suppose commuting and lunch are supposed to be part of those "8 hours of play"?
Eight hours of labour, eight hours of recovery, eight hours of preparing for labour/recovery.
