Tbh having a set amount of work hours across jobs comes across as unwise. Each job is going to have different sorts of demands and the length of work sessions & number of breaks should be adjusted accordingly for each.

For some jobs a longer work session with sufficient breaks may prove better, whereas other jobs, absolutely not, it becomes performative rather than productive.

Exactly. Try telling a firefighter working a Kelly schedule they now have to work 5 8 hr days with weekends off.

You will no longer have firefighters. How every job being different is lost on people I know not. Probably all the tech bros thinking their experience is the norm.
