35Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many really work 7 hours per day.
5I 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
34I work 8-5. They say my lunch is unpaid but I'm salary. Fucken bullshit.
31You lucky bastard, getting paid 24 hours a day
-4A salary is something The Man gives you to give up on your dreams.

8 to 5 seems much more common where I am.
16I 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?
11I mean, I'm at work from 8 to 5, but the hours where I actually do work are closer to 9 to 5...
117:30am 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.
9If it isn't 9 to 5 then why would you call it a 9 to 5
7I'd love to work 9-5, I'm more like...6:45am to 9pm :|
77-3:30 most days, 5-1:30 others. I love it.
5I literally do
4I work 3pm-11pm so I always say I work the evening shift.
4I can see why you’d say that

630-5 here. Of course, all of our office folk do, in fact, work 9-5.
49-6 for me. Thanks obama
3I'm not American, what did Obama do to weaken workers' rights ?
1It’s a joke
5Well 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
1It might not be 9-to-5, but it can still be a 9-to-5.
1Yeah 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.
1And that's for the people lucky enough to be able to work 8 hours a day, I'm 5a-6p lol
0I do about 10am to midnight five days a week. Fortunately my job is really easy.
1Quit. Maybe you can find some luck.

Yeah, it's called a euphemism.
-3No, it’s called an anachronism. The phrase is a holdover from a couple decades ago when people’s lunch hour was generally paid.

Only exceptionally bad jobs (or exceptionally well paid jobs) are not 9to5 ime.
-79-5 doesn't include unpaid lunch break. Do you eat at your desk while working?
7Most jobs include a 30-60 minute paid lunch break, making 9-5 completely plausible.
0Most 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
