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.
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
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 ?
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.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
