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.
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.
I'd love to work 9-5, I'm more like...6:45am to 9pm :|
If it isn't 9 to 5 then why would you call it a 9 to 5
7-3:30 most days, 5-1:30 others. I love it.
I literally do
630-5 here. Of course, all of our office folk do, in fact, work 9-5.
I work 3pm-11pm so I always say I work the evening shift.
I can see why you’d say that
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
I used to work 7 - 3:30 but now that I can choose my own work hours I prefer not to start till 8
It might not be 9-to-5, but it can still be a 9-to-5.
Yeah and in that movie those gals had a paid lunch hour WITHIN that 9-5 timeframe. Can you imagine? Damn that would be nice.
Every place I've ever worked most people who worked 8s worked 8-5 with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. In fact, 8-5 is what is considered business hours in my industry.
And that's for the people lucky enough to be able to work 8 hours a day, I'm 5a-6p lol
I do about 10am to midnight five days a week. Fortunately my job is really easy.
Quit. Maybe you can find some luck.
Only exceptionally bad jobs (or exceptionally well paid jobs) are not 9to5 ime.
9-5 doesn't include unpaid lunch break. Do you eat at your desk while working?
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break
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
