I work 8:00 to 4:30 with a half-hour lunch break. Frequently I’ll put in a few extra hours in a week for some overtime ‘cause the job isn’t hard at all.
I've been working 9-5 and taking 1 hour for lunch for the last 6 years but recently I saw my job description and it says 9-6 (with 1 hour lunch) so 🤷
My old job was oppressive clock watchers so everyone just strolled in as close to 8am as they could and left at 5pm sharp (people would be lined up at the turnstiles waiting to badge out). So why are they having you there for 10 hours a day? I'd rather come in an hour later than get a 2 hour lunch.
Where I'm at in Canada it's almost always 8:30 to 4:30
I work 9-5 with a paid lunch.
But I am in Canada (which is fairly similar to the US in terms of work culture.
Also I'm unionized.
I thought 9-5 was an old trope. I’ve never heard of anywhere that offered 9-5 working hours. I don’t know anyone with them.
Many research jobs are like that
My first job in Europe (about 5 years ago) was 8-6 with 1 hour of paid lunch and a mandatory 30 minute break. I think that was the closest I’ve come to 9-5. Other jobs have been more flexible with when I start and finish.
Most of the year I work 8 to 6-8 few months in the winter its 8-430. With a forced 30min unpaid lunch.
It's been 8-5 or 8:30-5:30 or 9-6 everywhere I've worked an office job. But I had a friend move to NYC and she said there everyone worked hard but came in at 9, took an hour lunch and left at 5.
Yes, they still exist. I am both salaried and clock my hours. I have to clock 80/2 weeks and I need approval to clock more than that. If I do, I get comp time or overtime if pre-approved. Including for traveling for work. I don't clock my actual times, just hours worked per day. So no annoying 15min accountability that I've heard of from other companies. I think I technically have to take a 30min lunch but I haven't heard noises about that for like, a decade. We've got hours we need to be available technically as well (9-3). I'm also 80% telework and I despise that 1 day a week I sit on the same Teams calls in the office.
My job is 8:30 - 5 with a 30 minute lunch break. So almost.
But, we also get 2 days/week at home, and can flex time as required. Tons of international work, so the flexible hours are a godsend when time zones are against us.
It's a salaried position and depending on your supervisor and stage of your career, you're expected to work 40-45 hours a week. Deadlines and ugly projects tend to increase hours work. I'm very lucky, as my industry can be pretty brutal with sudden ends to projects and unexpected layoffs.
I am currently doing 7:30-4:30 with an hour lunch most days but I am salaried so it could go longer, I am just intentional about only doing that much.
Most of my jobs have been 9-5. I work as an ecologist. I've also always been hourly, so that's why my hours are not so broad.
I'm at a non-profit and we work 9-5 with, technically, a 30 minute lunch break. So when we take a PTO day, it is 7.5 hours instead of 8. I'm remote though, so I just work through lunch or take that time to cook something.
I'm salaried so I don't have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.
My last job was 9-5 with a paid lunch. It was toxic AF tho
I have one actually. I'm in NH if that's relevant.
I'm going to guess you mean New Hampshire in the USA?
Well, yes, the question said "in the USA" so I didn't think I'd have to specify but I should probably still have used the full name for people who don't live here.
Good point, it did mention US in the title
9 to 5 is just a phrase referencing a standard full time day shift job not about the specific start/stop times
I'm 7-3. I eat lunch at my desk while I work so I can leave early.
Sure. If you graduated from Harvard with a business degree and have the connections to walk straight into a board room. Everyone else works 7-5 with a 30 minute lunch you're expected to eat at your desk. Also PTO is a trap and IT can't fix your printer because they're still working on the other printer.
My work agreement is supposed to be 8-5 with hour lunch. I work 9-5 or 8-4 and eat at my desk when i can. But i do have mandatory overtime which sometimes makes it 7am-9pm. Fun times
8:30-3:00 baby, though honestly 3:45 or 4:00 would be better. I get 40 minutes for lunch and 90 minutes alone without students. I've got it nice.
