Who works a 9-5 job? (employees, salary, full time, hours)

[demog]

I see the term 9-5 job used around a lot. But the thing is I don't know anyone who works a 9-5 anymore. It's usually 8-5 or 9-6. And we all know many people work many more hours that just 40 hours. Just something that bothers me a bit.

I work 7:30am to 4:00pm (30 min lunch) though we do the summer hours thing where I work 7-4:30 and get every other Friday off.

Not me. I work 8 - 5 with an hour lunch.

[Hemlock140]

I work 7-3:30, my staff has staggered start times from 7:30-10:00am, and some have flex (longer hours, extra day off every other week) or some telecommuting days. There is more of that lately to help help accommodate personal needs of the employees, and reduce the commute traffic.

9-4 if I don't leave for lunch some days. If I work remotely, it is more like 8-5:30. I work that extra time I would otherwise spend commuting. So, yeah, not a straight 9-5 and adds up to a little more than 40 hours/week.

I work 9-5. sometimes less, sometimes more

[KathrynAragon]

I started working full time in 1990 and I've never worked 9-5 or known anyone who ever had those hours. Everyone I've always known ever has considered full time to be forty hours or more a week.

I do pretty much 40-45 hrs per week, start time anywhere between 7AM and 9AM.

I'm salary, and can decide my own hours.

8:30 - 5:00 is mine, I take a 30 minute break/lunch at noon.

[JXBC]

I work 9-5 (not including time working at home, etc) normally. Usually take a 10 or 15 minute lunch so just grab some food, as I get bored.

However, being salaried, I do have the flexibility of coming in earlier or later, by an hour or two. I prefer 9-5 though.
