The phrase “9 to 5 job” is an interesting anachronism, from the days when we got paid for lunch. Most “full time” business hours jobs now are 8-5, with an hour unpaid in the middle.
Not sure exactly when that happened, but the existence of the phrase itself speaks of when it was different.
I’ve done a fair amount of company and location hopping over the past 10 years I’m jobs, and have found that the 9-5 does still exist, but your totally right, most places demand 8-5.
The bizarre part to me was the phrase was still the same, even at The 8-5 jobs.
this is one of the things I point out to folks at how good the period was. nine to five the song was about how aweful it was to be a regular mook working nine to five. People should watch the movie and media from around that time. Luckily reagan saved us from that hell hole /s

I still get paid for lunch, because I eat at my desk while I work. 😅
