"9 to 5" is 8 to 5

[Anonymous No.56455255]

Why do people continue to call it the 9-5 and why do we continue to let them get away with it?
Nearly any serious job nowadays is 8-5. Yes, you technically have an hour long unpaid lunch. In practice, at least at my internship company, people work through that lunch all the time. Whether you're lowest on the foodchain or a manger, people will just schedule meetings in your lunch slot without so much as asking permission.
So it's 8-5, at the very least (so many people work overtime because in America and thirdies they don't care about your life). Please be honest and call our lives what they are.

ngl breddy baste either way

I think that there should be a 21 hour work week, divided into 7 hour shifts on 3 consecutive days, giving you 4 contiguous days off (a "double-weekend") every week, and that, on this schedule, you should be able to afford a house and a car and a housewife who doesn't work for anyone but you and a car for her and kids and a vacation property and a sailboat... y'know, like folks in the generation of OP's pic were able to afford just by working a normal job.

This is entirely doable with excess luxury for everyone... but only if we violently remove the "parasite class" (a.k.a. DA JOOZ). Seriously: fully HALF of the paid hours "we" work does not contribute to anything other than some parasite's bottom line.

Is Work From Home, 1st world life on easy mode?
I've almost never heard stories of WFH people tearing their hair out with stress and working long hours.
Instead it seems like your boss gives you a workload, you perform that work in the time it takes and then just relax the rest of the week.
But how is WFH workload expectations consistently much lighter than in office?
Or is it that office jobs have a similar workload on paper but you can't goof off in the same ways in the office, so you end up getting more work to fill that time and look busy?
I've been job searching for 5 months after graduating and I *might* be just about to land a hybrid analyst job. It only needs two days in the office per month and it's basically all Excel work. I'm curious what my work week will end up looking like. The hiring manager made it out like you basically get deliverables and then you turn them in by the deadline and there's no serious oversight or micromanagement.

Its the same amount of workload, the only difference is how you slack off, in the office you either have to pretend that youre busy even though you arent doing anything or have endless chitchat with your coworkers, the latter is what low IQ NPCs opt for, with WFH you just do whatever you want with your free time.

It's the same as in the office but in the office nobody likes to see you not working. So you pretend to be busy a lot of the time to fill time. If you're wfh you can just do what is expected and then take a nap.

office work(wfh even moreso) is about hiding your power level
if you can do some task in a couple hours, do it in a couple days and gauge reaction. if your manager doesn't seem to care, do not work faster than this, ever.
all you gain by being ostensibly productive is more workload.
if more money is what you're after, start kissing ass and playing office politics.

The problem is that salaried work paired with "we're a family" jargon is a scam.
