no-crunch development (Destiny)

50 hours/week, assuming 5 days a week that's 10 hour days, + an hour lunch + an hour (or more) commute

What line of work are you in? It seems unusual that your lunch break is not included in your 10 hours. Even the crappy jobs I worked in high school gave me 30mins for lunch.

Software development, salaried. I wouldn't expect lunch break to count towards hours worked per week. If I were working 40 hours a week I'd expect to get in at 8 & leave by 5 (with a full hour lunch break, 8:30 - 5:00 w/ a 30 min lunch break). I believe that the "paid lunch break" is a benefit of years past. Tho' I'd expect the two 15 minutes breaks to be on company time.

Edit: also, as a salaried employee working a strict number of hours per week doesn't matter too much, getting the work done and being available for collaboration is what counts.
