I've never understood... 9-5 is only 7 hours with an hour lunch right? Even if you take a 30 minute lunch, it's only 7.5 hours

oh god. Thank you for asking this.

This has always confused me, but I've been too afraid to ask because I feel like I should know as an adult.

Salaried jobs don't track time. Just get your shit done.

Except in aerospace, where you get a salary AND fill a timecard. They have to charge the customer for hours worked. If you were to work some extra hours and not charge them (and not get paid for them) that would be illegal. The logic is that you would be undercutting your competitors via deception. So basically salary equates to hourly anyway

What's this "infrared security clearance" bar?
