“The 9[am] to 5[pm]” is a common term for one’s regular job, on the basis that normal people start work at 09:00 and finish at 17:00. I’ve worked a few jobs and closest I’ve ever gotten to this is 08:00 to 17:00, which I gather is standard.

Are there real jobs where people actually start at 9 and finish at 5?

    I believe in wresting back any amount of control/time we can from the system.

    So my job has me coming in at 8:30-9:30am and leaving at 3:30pm every day, thanks to training my boss and working the system.

    And honestly I am switching to a hybrid WFH job because even this is too much office time.

    They don’t give me a window, so I am letting myself get recruited elsewhere.
