The real epiphany comes when you realize working 9-5 was 8 hours. Meaning the lunch break was included. Just another hit to the working class. What a way to make a living.

i dream of a world where they don't
9-5 hasn't been standard in the US in decades. It's all 8-5 or 9-6 now.
I'm so happy I work for a normal company that lets me eat at my desk and just work 9-5.
Damn, look at you thriving.
And yet, I could still do better lmao
Such a dystopian statement ☹️
Tbh, I come and go when I want as long as I get the work done. My official hours are 9 to 5. As in, if someone calls me, those are my hours.
Now, my LAST job, on the other hand. Same exact industry and field, but my boss was an asshole. I took the train in to work, so I had a scheduled start and end time via my train. He told me that I must take an hour lunch because it's the law. Who the fuck even cares???? Alas, since I was on train time, instead of leaving at 4:50 to catch the train, I had to stay until closer to 5:30. Except the trains left hourly. So I basically wasted a half hour every day. And I did. I made sure to do no work during that half hour I was sitting there playing with myself.
If you wanna talk about dystopia lmao
Appreciate it because that is not normal anymore.
Bold to assume there'll still be jobs and not just fighting over gig work in the unemployment prisons.
♫ Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin' ♫
RIP Dolly
Why couldn’t Dolly sing about 10 to 4.
Hopefully they hate it so much they 86 or 187 the 9-5.
What is a 6-7 kid?
It's the 9-5's final form
There's no way you don't know the answer to that.
You'd be amazed at what I don't know.
You might be a champion of the modern era. Or just really out of touch.
Eh, little of column A little of column B.
But also I just usually have no idea whats going on either way.
I also have no idea and I am completely content with not knowing.
Read it as "six seven", not "six to seven".
I have no idea what 67 means but I’m happy the kids are having fun with it.
You have missed out on nothing.
It's a GenZ thing. Don't let them know we know about it or they may unalive us, bruh. No cap.
it's not gen z, it's like alpha
Thank you, it annoys me people can't tell apart Gen Z and Alpha...

My main instinct is to groan when I hear that slang. Then I remember back in the 90s we had "All that and a bag of chips".
So obviously my generation holds no higher ground when it comes to slang.
The 80s are the last time slang was done right. Lets bring back "radical" and "rightous" and "right on".
Wait, is the secret to good slang starting with the letter R?
