Only exceptionally bad jobs (or exceptionally well paid jobs) are not 9to5 ime.
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.

What? Where do you live? I’ve only ever had one job with a paid lunch break and I’ve worked a lot of jobs
9-5 doesn’t include unpaid lunch break. Do you eat at your desk while working?
And that’s for the people lucky enough to be able to work 8 hours a day, I’m 5a-6p lol
Quit. Maybe you can find some luck.
Yeah, it’s called a euphemism.
No, it’s called an anachronism. The phrase is a holdover from a couple decades ago when people’s lunch hour was generally paid.
I’d love to work 9-5, I’m more like…6:45am to 9pm :|
I always thought 9 to 5 was the actual standard american working time. I also thought it was weirdly late.
So at what time do Americans actually work?
I mean, I’m at work from 8 to 5, but the hours where I actually do work are closer to 9 to 5…
7:30am to 4pm with 30 minute lunch break.
I work 8-5. They say my lunch is unpaid but I’m salary. Fucken bullshit.
You lucky bastard, getting paid 24 hours a day
But I do, acrually. As do many with office jobs?
Every office job I’ve ever worked has been 8-5
Can you tell me your industry so I never go into it?
- Mortgage acquisition for a big bank
- Transportation engineering
- Library
- Software engineering
- Green building consulting
If it isn’t 9 to 5 then why would you call it a 9 to 5
Many people still work 9-5.
Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many really work 7 hours per day.
I definitely would argue most people don’t ever work 8 hours a day.
Even when I was scheduled in a factory, I had 10-15min here, 30min there of downtime waiting on the line, going poo, being told to change posts, watching people drop pallets and then everyone scrambling to pick up the spill.
That’s why I’ll always advocate work from home. Get your shit done, and get on with life.
I literally do
8 to 5 seems much more common where I am.
9-6 for me. Thanks obama
I’m not American, what did Obama do to weaken workers’ rights ?
Well for one he was tall
It’s a joke
I work 3pm-11pm so I always say I work the evening shift.
I can see why you’d say that
