Okay but like what even is a 9-5? I’ve heard it all my life but never a real title associated with those hours. Like what do you do at your job?

Its just kinda the standard office job really, 5 days a week 9-5. Honestly it’s my dream job at this point, steady work sounds like a blessing

Whatever they hire you to do really, I think a lot of it is just filing and organizing shit for your bosses really, or working with company statistics

I usually think of 9-5 worker as anyone who works in the “corporate” end of a company within an office. Dealing with logistics or sales or supply chain. I don’t know much about business though so take that into account. But from what I’ve heard from other people, oh yeah and management.

In my country almost every single job that isn’t in the service industry (with shifts like guesthouses, restaurants, doctors) is a 9-5 job where we work those hours either 5 or 6 days a week. Office jobs are mainly sales, marketing, hr, accounting, IT, admin, procurement and management. And then you have the occasional private company where I work where you might end up doing one or more jobs but the team is super small and you have a lot more flexibility and less stupid corporate rules

They always make it sound like a bad thing, but I agree, I think it sounds nice. Would you rather work nights and weekends? Have unpredictable or unreliable hours? Who ever thought 9-5 was a bad thing?! I had a job where I worked 8-4 and had all holidays off and it was great.

8-4 would be amazing, I don't know why that extra early hour makes a difference but it feels like you'd have a lot more time at the end of the day to make dinner or chill out.

I used to work 8-4 occasionally. I am certain it would be great if it was consistent. I work 8-5 now (I have an hour lunch break unpaid) and not getting of until 5 definitely doesn't afford a lot of time in the evening, especially with needing to get up early. Especially since I drive half an hour commute. But having a consistent sleep schedule and weekends off is a vast improvement over my last job.

@parisqeen Yes, completely agree. I feel like I could do a lot more with my time. Now I work until 5:00/5:30 and have an hour and a half commute - it sucks.

An hour and a half oh gosh, my last job was about a 50 min commute and I thought that was bad (although I did tend to finish around 11pm). I agree with @thekaylapup though that consist routine is still nice.
