In Brazil, office time traditionally follows a 9 AM to 5/6 PM schedule, though this is increasingly changing with remote work and flexible arrangements. The concept reflects the distinction between work and personal time that is important in Brazilian corporate culture. In the USA, 'office time' emphasizes physical presence, though this has evolved post-pandemic with hybrid and remote work options becoming more common.
