I do get some extra load some times as a salried worker. It’s my first salaried job, so I don’t know if maybe I’m just lucky. Sometimes I work overtime to finish what I’v started, but compensate it the next day by starting an hour late. If the work becomes too much, i will try to work harder, but if that doesn’t fix it either, it’s possible to either extend the deadline or get extra help.
It’s a total culture shock from my previous, hourly job, where I just had to always work more and more for the same hourly rate. They didn’t care that it took longer and they didn’t care for me as long as it got done, but I didn’t want to work more hours, I wanted to spend more time with my kids.
Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.?
Ever since I graduated, everywhere I’ve worked has been 8-5. My current company is going to soon start expecting us to be in 7-5....
