We don't really work 9 to 5 but still call our job 9-to-5

Speak for yourself

I work 8-5. They say my lunch is unpaid but I'm salary. Fucken bullshit.

But I do, acrually. As do many with office jobs?

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.

If it isn't 9 to 5 then why would you call it a 9 to 5

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 :|

9-6 for me. Thanks obama

I'm not American, what did Obama do to weaken workers' rights ?
- It’s a joke

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.

It might not be 9-to-5, but it can still be a 9-to-5.

I work 3pm-11pm so I always say I work the evening shift.

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
- Sometimes. My work is pretty variable. Some days I have to search for things to do. Others I have lots with short due dates. On busy days I eat at my desk. On really busy days I don't eat. It evens out in the end because I can leave early on slow days to make up the time.
Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.

And that's for the people lucky enough to be able to work 8 hours a day, I'm 5a-6p lol

Quit. Maybe you can find some luck.

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.
