Do you think most people still work 9-5? - GoFuckYourself.com

Dwreck · 09-29-2004, 01:14 PM

I got in a bit of a heated discussion with a buddy who claimed the majority of the workforce is 9-5 ers.

I was saying that was not the case at all. ...then he started making up fake stats to make him look good. Telling me to shut up and think.

I could very well be wrong but what do you think.

Who would be correct in their assumption?

BradM · 09-29-2004, 01:15 PM

Who's more right?

Hang on I need to get my english decoder.
Ah, you meant to say "Who would be correct in their assumption?"

Most people are bluecollar 9-5.

Most people are bluecollar 9-5.

Bluecollar = 7-3 construction worker, factor worker

Whitecollar = 9-5 banker, Secretary

Blackcollar = ?-?

What work force are you talking about? Food Service? Office? Construction? Adult?

Little too vague in the question for me to be able to give my opinion.

Wiggles · 09-29-2004, 01:23 PM

I used to until I went back part time for school.

Dwreck · 09-29-2004, 01:25 PM

It's a general question as a whole. Are there more 9-5 ers than say entrepenuers or people that work night shifts half shifts etc.

Vitasoy · 09-29-2004, 01:27 PM

I think that's the general thinking.

beemk · 09-29-2004, 01:27 PM

i would definitely say 9-5. do you not have heavy traffic where you live? its like that for a reason.

lb_vee · 09-29-2004, 01:27 PM

I sorta do 9-5 in adult

Raven · 09-29-2004, 01:29 PM

I think there are more shift workers than there are 9-5 workers...and, these days, many leave the office with work they take home with them....so...

On the Internet, I've found that it's hard to get in touch with people after a certain time on weekends...but not so much during the day.

Tricksy · 09-29-2004, 01:30 PM

most ppl do 9-5....unfortunately....not me!

Of course there is more ppl working for some one then then running their own stuff

mindoza · 09-29-2004, 01:34 PM

I would say maybe....I would not hold to the exact hours 9-5 (banker hours or what my old boss use to call half days) but I would say majority works a 40 hr wrk week..or better yet only gets paid for a 40 hr work week

kenny · 09-29-2004, 01:35 PM

There are alot of 7-3 people

More then 9-5 I bet

Lucy · 09-29-2004, 01:42 PM

most people in my country usually work from 8,9 till 4,5pm, but it depends what you are doing..., I am working from 6pm - 2am, because of the time zone.......l

slickcashlisa · 09-29-2004, 01:44 PM

I do

klik · 09-29-2004, 01:46 PM

what about us people who work 23 hours a day?

Raf1 · 09-29-2004, 01:48 PM

It's hard to say. Maybe more work 9-5

Screaming · 09-29-2004, 01:50 PM

i would say a large percentage is 9-5 or some variation of that like 8-5 or so, of course there are lots that work other shifts

have to agree with those figures. Most mainstream companies work 9 to 5, construction is about right but varies depending on job... internet companies if your working like to squeeze out another hour by having you work 9 to 6, if your work from home?? then more than likely its 9 to 11 or midnight.

In the city more people work 9-5 beause of offices.

Outside the city

People work in factories and outside doing things like construction..

And that is almost always 7-3

There are way more 7-3 people then 9-5 people
