  I'm supposed to be here from 9am till 5.30pm. Emphasis on the word 'supposed', as it never ever happens.

  it is a myth cause you can leave at 5pm... and then everyone else will hate you... so when you need something.. don't expect it done quickly and don't expect anyone to cover for you and expect a level of disdain and disrespect at meetings whenever you open your mouth...

  reason I know this... I am the one that hates 9-5ers...

  • If they don't need to stay, why should they?– czawada1/3

    in this day and age of telecommuting, there is no need to be in the office after 5pm.– mrdobolina2/3

    people have things they have to do during business hours, the world should be wifi'd– mrdobolina3/3

  9:30 - 6:30. usually my lunch break is eating at my desk (catered food) for about 10-15 min, so I guess it adds up to 40+, though working late and weekends is a fairly sporadic occurence.

  I work at home but for an 'agency'..

  I'm also married but sometimes I forget because I'm always staring at this screen..

  I wish I had a 9 to 5 job. I wish I worked 60 hours a week..

  Ever since I started as a partner on salary I haven't worked less than 70-100 hours per week..

  It's killing me

  anyway, to answer the question, is 9 to 5 a myth?

  yes. time is a man made construct created in order to help our feeble minds make sense of the universe.

  If you can't figure it out in normal hours, it's probably one of these reasons:

  1) Your time management skills suck
  2) Your boss is an asshole
  3) You're the boss
