“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?
In the technology department for a fortune 500, we should be 9-5 and another team next to me is basically doing that but I’m somehow overloaded and having to do catch up at night or be on call. Also we do our deployments at night as to not disrupt operations, so that eats into my personal time.
Kinda annoyed at it since my last job I stopped thinking about work once 5pm hit
