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.
Speak for yourself
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
A salary is something The Man gives you to give up on your dreams.
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
8 to 5 seems much more common where I am.
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.
It is an American thing. In France it is usually 9 to 6 with a 2 hours lunch between because we like to have fun.
I work 9 hour days with a 30 min lunch 6:30 - 4:00, Mon - Thurs. Then Friday is a half day, 6:30 - 10:30, its kind of growing on me. And if I feel like it I can just work a full day Friday and get easy 4 hours of overtime.
If it isn’t 9 to 5 then why would you call it a 9 to 5
I’d love to work 9-5, I’m more like…6:45am to 9pm :|
7-3:30 most days, 5-1:30 others. I love it.
I work 3pm-11pm so I always say I work the evening shift.
I can see why you’d say that
630-5 here. Of course, all of our office folk do, in fact, work 9-5.
I literally do
9-6 for me. Thanks obama
I’m not American, what did Obama do to weaken workers’ rights ?
It’s a joke
Well for one he was tall
It might not be 9-to-5, but it can still be a 9-to-5.
