Where 600 minutes shows up
Ten hours is the length of a shift under a compressed four-day week, the arrangement that packs the same forty hours into four days rather than five. Shift industries have run schedules of that length far longer than office work has, and the pattern trades a longer day for a third day off. Time-tracking software totals the day in minutes and returns 600, which divides by 60 with no remainder — about the only uncomplicated thing regarding a ten-hour day.
