@ginnyleads: The 9-to-5 schedule became the standard for white-collar work because it made supervision easier. Everyone in the office at the same time meant simpler meetings and straightforward coordination. After WWII, suburbs, school systems, and rush hour traffic locked it into place. Now most knowledge work can happen asynchronously from anywhere. We're still organizing it like we're coordinating train arrivals. Full video on YT.

I’m 63 and have had white-collar jobs since the 80s. I’ve never had a 9–5 job.

Hope :

I’m so not a morning person. I can really start functioning around 10am or 11am. Sometimes I gotta take a nap and get things done in the evening.

Matt 🇵🇸🇨🇩 :

9-5 is banking center hours only. all other offices work longer, like 8-5 or 7-5

KnotMylk :

I say work should be based on tasks completed and not hours at a desk. Remote work can help save this planet

yeetprophecy :

Add fake urgency into the mix… not everything needs to be done instantaneously. Especially at the cost of quality.

hyper.cept :

the machinery we are operating now is the consumption machine for wall street to keep making it's profit while doing nothing short of moving numbers around.

Reyes Torres :

I’m over here begging just for a regular 9-5 consistency. Ideally I’d love 10–4 and an hour lunch with the same pay. Life is oppressive in this world.

Life is beautiful :

Except for the public school system who has not realized that we as parents did not work from 9 AM to 2 PM as they release our kids from school at 2 PM

BleepBlorpVII :

When stores open? I can’t go to the store because I’M AT WORK FROM 9-5

Janellelol :

This oversight is what my cancer diagnosis at the age of 24 😅 revealed to me and showed me how unmerciful management is.

bobbydangero :

Very true. Another sign how Long it always takes for Innovation to truly change ways of working and living

Neighborhood Neal :

Great point

Sandman :

Add management that doesn’t want to actually manage personnel, only look for filled seats

Lion :

lindawhitfield31 :

Absolutely

Am :

I mostly agree but even in remote settings a few things are just easier in terms of live communication that requires people to be online at the same time at least for the conversation

Uncle Scrilla :

VERY INFORMATIVE

Jennifer :

If adults work 9-5 why is public school 8-3??

Aston :

It’s all outdated!!! A true time and life drain

Nic :

I want socialism. I'm sick of this shit
