Mainly use to do second shift work but, with my field change, I started to experience the 9-5 work day even during internships and the like. Not better or worse, since it's preferable to too much down time. Didn't even mind the train commute, although the trip back could be pretty packed during peak travel hours.

8-5 office job as a support tech here with a rotating evening shift. I like it and the regular evening shift gives me a perfekt excuse to not be social for a week!

AKA Pseudonym posted:This is probably somewhat ignorant of me but I consider a salaried office job to be the default for any adult in a first-world country. It's not that I look down on anybody it's just that whenever I hear anybody talking about work I assume they mean sitting at a desk in an office. It's what most people I know do. It's what my parents did and most of my childhood friends' parents did and probably what most of my childhood friends are doing now. I'm a middle-class white person you see. Its hard for me to imagine that, because even among people with professional education, it seems 9-5 is kind of a rarity now. Medical professionals are one good example: Doctors and nurses and everyone else in medicine often have to work nights and weekends. Nurses, in particular, have to work especially weird schedules, often working a week on and a week off. IT is another field where people have to work around the clock. Academics, as well. Engineers, architects, scientists, mechanics, all of these people do professional jobs but don't work in offices. Like, I am guessing that the people who do come from Connecticut, where there aren't really any natural resources, and all the jobs are just...working in an insurance company?

So many doctors are going into independent practices now that I imagine they're generating their own 9 to 5 jobs

Well they did before the founder died and VCs bought us up and started squeezing. But they still can't make me work 40+ because I can knock out in 10 what takes most people 40.

I go back and forth with 4 9p-9a shifts, 3 5p-1a shifts, and 1 1a-9a shift in a two week cycle. The twelve hours are either the weekend or the friday/monday around it.

Most IT people I know work office hours, unless you are referring to like help desk call centers or something. Unless you are some kind of specialized professional that needs to be on call all the time, if you aren't working normal office hours you are probably working at some poo poo job or managing people working a poo poo job (which in and of itself is a poo poo job)

8:30-5:00 with a half hour for lunch. No one has ever asked me to work a minute over 40 hours in a week or to be on call/checking email outside of that time window. One of the few bright spots about this job.

Salary is great so long as you don't work on the lower range

Yep. "work" 8-5 as far as schedule goes, but I basically show up whenever I want, take a lunch or don't - I just do my job when I need to. Currently, if that means I get an email about a case or a problem at 10pm, I answer it - even though I'm "not getting paid for that time" because it gives me more free reign to gently caress off and maybe only be "at" the office for 37-38 hours a week and nobody jumps my case about being on time, taking the occasional small nap at my desk, et cetera.

I work 7:30-4 M-F with some overtime here and there. I do compliance testing for electronic devices and our customers generally don't like working any later than 4:30. We also get lunch ordered for us at no charge every day. It's a really great perk except that it's making me fat. Also this is from the first page, but this: naem posted:I've noticed that the more money someone has the more they think that is "normal." Tech people in the Bay Area earning $250k act like that is a normal middle class income for a 25 yr old and if you point out that is in the top 5% of incomes they look confused and dopey and cock their head sideways like a dog Is absolutely true regardless of where you live. Ten years ago I talked with the mother of one of my friends, a critical care RN who makes 100-150k in MN, about my post college plans. She was completely dumbfounded that I was going to rent an apartment ("you're just throwing your money away!"), that I didn't have a down payment saved up ("oh that's easy to do!"), and that I couldn't buy a new car with cash only like she did.

I had a 9-5 but now I am a stay at home dad and life is a whole lot better. As I type this twins are napping and I am watching Mad Men, when they wake up we are going to the club's pool for a BBQ while the rest of the world is still working. feels good.
