@vusithembekwayo_official: Do you ever wonder why we work from 8am to 5pm? It’s a schedule that has become the norm for many of us, but have you ever stopped to think about its origins? The 8am-5pm workday has a long and complex history, shaped by a range of social, economic, and political factors. It all started with the Industrial Revolution, when factory owners began requiring workers to work long hours, often from sunrise to sunset. In the late 1800s, labor activists and trade unions began advocating for more reasonable working conditions. The movement gained momentum, and by the early 1900s, the 8-hour workday had become standard in many industries. Today, the 8am-5pm work schedule is the norm for many office jobs and other white-collar professions. #vusithembekwayo
