You always hear the phase “9 to 5” and also the song with the same name. Assuming you include 1 hour worth of breaks (30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks), you’re only working for 7 hours a day which comes up to 35 hours a week.

Now it feels like you have to work 8 hours a day (for a total of 40 hours of actual work), plus your other time off meaning you’re really there for 9 hours each day (for a total of 45 hours). Am i looking at that wrong, or did expected times change, and if so, when?

    “doing real labor” “easy, sweatless, office job” “the actual wheel turners”

    “I dislike the condescending attitude”

    It never ceases to amaze me how often people see and hate shit in other people that they epitomize themselves.

    And honestly, my experience has been the opposite and I see the condescending attitude, at least more openly, coming from blue collar workers more often.
