      Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many really work 7 hours per day.

        I 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.

        A salary is something The Man gives you to give up on your dreams.

    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

      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.

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