Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.?

GingeyBook@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 214 points –

Ever since I graduated, everywhere I've worked has been 8-5. My current company is going to soon start expecting us to be in 7-5.

How many of you here work a 9-5 with a paid lunch?

Productivity keeps going up but so do working hours.

Anyone discuss traffic?

For my area, traffic is a nightmare starting at 4pm thru 7.

Few get off at 5pm, but most head out the door at 3.

This is why work from home is so valuable to me. They don't pay me well enough to have a commute under 45 mins because the cost of living in the city is high as heck. And there's no public transit option. So basically that's 1.5 hours a day that I'm not losing to being stupid traffic

Facts. Let's not even get started with having to get ready for work. I work a hybrid schedule, prefer to rollout of bed to get my day started.
