Workin' 9 to 5...or 8 to 4?

10 to 6, ideally
9:30 to 5:30 fairly often
9 to 5 once upon a time
8 to 4? never.

(I did some commutes that required me getting up awfully early but never had to BE there working by 8 am. ugh!)

It’s pretty unusual for me to work the same hours for even two days straight. :frowning:

9-9 without a lunch break.

7 to 7 then a bit off and on at home in the evening. I often forget that I start working 2 hours earlier than most people do because I’ve always done it. In my mind, I work 2 hours later than most people. I have to stop and remind myself I start 1-2 hours before most people on top of that. I don`t know what I would do with myself if I ever worked only 8 hours.

I’m always surprised how many people out there actually work 9-5…

I’m about 8:30ish to 6:30ish.

8 to 6, standard for the industry.

No, because I just wanted to know which of the two poll options were the more common. We all know that not everyone works those hours, of course.

In theory, 10.30am-6.30pm two days a week, 10.30am-10.30pm the other two days, and three days off.

In practice, I almost never leave before 7pm on the short days, and often nearer 8pm, and the late nights are usually more like 11pm. Then I have a 90-minute journey home. (Today I was lucky and got away at 10.15pm, so I was home before midnight!)

6:50 to 3:20

Technically, I’m scheduled 7-3:30, but I always show up at least 10 minutes early by habit. And, since my cow-orker is ALWAYS at least 10 minutes late without any kind of repercussion from management, I decided to modify my hours accordingly.

9:30 to 6:30, most days. Most people around here work 9 to 6 though.

6am-2pm. I work for the state of California, and do not have to take a lunch.
However, a month ago, I was working at the same pay, with the same job title, in the same room, with the same people, same supervisor, nothing changed but the pages I was working on…doing something different…and HAD to take a lunch.

Go figure.

I’ve always wondered where the meme of working 9 to 5 came from. Full-time (in the U.S.) entails an eight hour day, assuming five days a week. A nominal hour off for lunch is required, so that’s 9 to 6 or 8 to 5 or whatever. Were corporate office type jobs ever really 9 to 5 with a paid lunch break?

7:15-3:15.

745-445

8-5 officially, 8:20-6 or so realistically.

11:30-8pm

Office hours in our area are 8 to 5. As a child growing up, anybody I ever knew who had an office job worked 8 to 5. When that song “9 to 5” came out, I was utterly confused.

After I got out of college, I worked office jobs for about 14 years. They were 8 to 5 jobs. Now that I’m self employed, I work from about 8:30 to 5:00, take a break, and work some more later. I also work off and on over the weekend.

I still don’t know any people who work 9 to 5.

A lot of jobs, like mine, pay you for 7.5 hours a day, and you have a required 30 minute unpaid lunch. googling “work 37.5 hours” gets you over 400,000 hits and "“full time 37.5 hours” is almost a million and a half, so it’s not too uncommon.

Neither. Used to be 8:30 to 5:30 (does anyone work 7 hours anymore?) but was just given the option of flex hours, so I’ve started working about from 9:30 to 6:30. I am not a morning person.

Ugh i voted before reading the OP, i picked the hours i would prefer not what i have so switch one of the votes.
