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 :|
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.
8 to 5 seems much more common where I am.
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
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.
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
7-3:30 most days, 5-1:30 others. I love it.
If it isn’t 9 to 5 then why would you call it a 9 to 5
Many people still work 9-5.
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?
Paid lunch break
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
