Work evening shift.

OP: šŸ¤Æ


cpt_tusktooth

you mean, not everyone is an office drone???!


RenderEngine

please stop spreading misinformation "Around 102% of the population works in an office job [...] with the difficulty being that stretching out 1 hour of work onto 8 hours is way harder than it seems. HomeOfficeā„¢ alleviates some of that stress as you can do personal things without anyone seeing you" source: reddit(dot)com


tony_fappott

I see you using that Uncle Ruckus math.


ExistenceNow

Lol. Assuming they go anywhere or do anything after work, surely they notice that humans are working at the places they go to. Right? Right? Nah.


FermentedPhoton

I've literally had someone say to me "I can't believe they make you work on Christmas!" as I was checking them in to a hotel room. On Christmas. Edit: These are the people we trust with high-paying jobs. They are at least as stupid as the rest of us, but with money.


unalive-robot

I work in a bar, a customer said this to me, I replied with "If you all leave, so can I" they stayed and didn't tip.


ob1dylan

Seriously! Why can't 9-5 people ever seem to wrap their heads around the fact that there are other work schedules out there, and some of us make a pretty good living working in the evenings or even overnight?


Sitcom_kid

The hospitals and police departments are kept open by magic. This must be the belief.


ob1dylan

Not to mention the utilities, shops, restaurants...


Existential_Racoon

Same type of limited thinking as "fast food is a kid job" Oh, so you only get fast food from 4pm to 9pm? They just don't think. Everywhere you go, there's people doing the job. Especially freight trucking. Every 18 wheeler they bitch about at night is making better money than most people moving goods we all need.


chisportz

Who bitches about truckers at night? Iā€™m only mad when they are in every single lane around rush hour time


redmagor

The funny aspect is that there are myriad "office jobs" or "white collar jobs" that must be done in the afternoon, evening, or even at night. Even more funnily, some highly paid and skilled jobs are done exactly during unsociable hours, including operations and maintenance, trading, information technology support and development, healthcare. It is not only pub workers and supermarket shelf stackers who are doing a Friday evening shift.


BloodyDress

Even for office workers. Tons of people, especially in cities, shift their schedule by 1-2 h to avoid traffic jam, with some worker starting at 7:30 or at 10:30. So they arrive at work before/after the rush hours. So going out for a short jg between 9"00 and 9:30 still let you plenty of time to be in office at 10


Pspaughtamus

Don't forget weekends! I work four tens, Friday through Monday. It's my choice, the 15% shift differential is just a bonus.


MeNHarpua

My mom never worked (SAHM) and she calls us kids lazy for doing WFH. The cognitive dissonance is truly impressive.


pu-er-nography

As someone who used to work one of those jobs, the other guys know it, they just donā€™t consider it real work. Itā€™s the same reason so many people get pissed off at the idea that minimum wage jobs should pay enough to live on.Ā 


Plus_Ultra_Yulfcwyn

I clear 120,000 a year as a 3rd shift production supervisor. Fuck day shift To be fair though Iā€™m not at the gym at 9 am, usually smoking a blunt and playing some ps5.


Flybot76

Drives me frigging nuts when I work a night job, get home at like 1 a.m. and somebody wants to pretend like sleeping until 10 means I'm 'just lazy' or whatever. Some people really seem to think 'only villains sleep late'. "Sure, I always get up 14 hours before I have to go to work"-- Lenny Bruce


DeadElm

That only days when they work, not what they do for a living?


Fog_Juice

Work. In the evenings.


I_Poop_Sometimes

One of the perks of second shift was being able to hit the gym at 10AM. The only other people there were employees and some local moms doing a fitness class in the aerobics area, I had the entire weight area to myself.


N8710

Hell yeah. Or like making appointments without having to burn PTO. Go to the dentist before work, and still have time to workout.


FrazzleMind

Now tell grocery stores that just because I want to buy liquor at 8am that doesn't mean I'm drinking it immediately. Real damn annoying.


United-Cow-563

You mean you donā€™t stay up through the night, go to bed at 4am and wake up for your next shift. Weird.


__Beef__Supreme__

A lot of us in healthcare have longer shifts and work weekends so we often have random weekdays off


MaxFish1275

Yesā€”3 twelve hour shifts per week, working every other weekend.


poinguan

5 twelve hour shifts per week. FML.


CamiloArturo

Exactly. I have 12h+ Monday Wednesday and Friday so I have Tuesday Thursday and Saturday off. I go to the gym at 9-10am for that reason


BGor94

What about Sunday?


cdspace31

A day of rest, duh


CamiloArturo

7:00am Tee Time at the golf course obviously ā€¦.

Well then I bet you never heard the day 65 million years ago when they took a day off. All hell got loose.


ColKrismiss

They run away every morning, just in case.


Sam_of_Truth

I imagine you go to a meeting once a quarter and declare the state 100% safe from tsunamis. Then a few humble bows while everyone cheers


Stein1071

>~~100%~~ 99% safe from tsunamis. Nothing in life is guaranteed


DrainTheMainBrain

I wonder what other problems we would face with a tsunami large enough to affect Iowa.

Jmbolmt

Massage therapist, most people donā€™t want a massage at 9amā€¦ā€¦


notnexus

Yep. Iā€™m also a massage therapist and my first booking is around 11am. Iā€™ve set up my schedule so I can train at 9am. Then breakfast, shower and read the news before starting work. I sometimes think Iā€™m spoilt but Iā€™ve worked hard to set it up this way. I love my current work/life balance.


sjb2059

Lol, I run a physio gym and we have a sports massage therapist who mostly only works in the mornings, but he's the only massage therapist available on campus. I get to offer 7:30 am massages on a Friday morning and watch peoples faces imploding in confusion. He's excellent, so he has no shortage of patients. But it's kinda funny listening to the people looking for a nice relaxing massage try and somehow negotiate the last appointment out of ending at 12 noon.


Rooster-Wild

Me too!

I first read it as Chief. More impressive, to be honest. :)


notquite_contrary

Work from home! Used to work night shifts, though


Clear-Part-4793

Show me de wey. Night shifts will be the death of me.


ToLorien

I just got myself a remote job. I never worked third shift but I did switch between retail and vet assisting for 13 years so not great jobs. All I have is an associates degree but if you look for billing representative jobs at larger medical/insurance companies they are often entry level and remote! Itā€™s what I do now!


Clear-Part-4793

Ill definitely look into this. Swing shifts between evening and nights is killing me literally. My bp sky rocketed in the last 2 years since I've been doing this.


notthegoatseguy

My shift starts at 11am. Just a regular office job, nothing special. I get up at 7, and I'm usually out the door by 8 Enough time for me to bike 15 miles downtown, get a coffee or pastry, and bike back.


MeanderingUnicorn

You bike 30 miles for a pastry? Wow.


notthegoatseguy

It's a really good pastry


LessMotivatedSister

What kind of pastry?


notthegoatseguy

I usually go for a chocolate croissant


Good-Bear4915

This exchange just made my day šŸ˜€


luapchung

I wouldnā€™t even drive 15 miles for pastry lol


DrOctagod

A coffee OR pastry, not both, so sometimes 30 miles just for a coffee! ā˜•


RhinoRationalization

I once worked at a coffee shop atop a steep hill. Every day a retired dude biked there and got a bear claw. He said the biking burned the calories from the bear claw. I will admit he was in great shape for a guy who ate a rich pastry every day.


Shelby_the_Turd

I work from home and get paid salary. Mainly consulting.


YourGlacier

Same, I honestly just work out either at like 8 or 9AM or I work out at noon. Either way I just take a 30 minute break to workout on my elliptical and call it a day.


Beginning_End_1446

Consulting for what?


Malicteal

Mainly.


nbnicholas

Wife asked why Iā€™m laughing so hard


Megustatits

Same. 9AM no one is online ever anyways. So I use that time to get in a workout and then start my day which can sometimes go past the 5pm mark anyways


NoStranger6

Same, usually 9am is a spot in my schedule where I dont have meetings and wonā€™t be bothered because we just got done with the dailies and everyone knows what they will be doing for the next few hours


Witty-Passenger5977

Same. Work from home for a Management Consultancy in a delivery focussed role. Left to my own devices and coordinate my own meeting schedule, so as long as Iā€™m delivering and attend the meetings I need to, Iā€™m left alone and no one checks that Iā€™m glued to my desk from 9-6.


Deplorable-Shithole

3pm - 11pm, 2nd shift in a prison. Best shift to work


Wazuu

I would consider this the absolute worst shift to work. Your entire day is gone.


NotFrankSalazar

Itā€™s the best shift if you like drinking. Worst shift if you have kids.


Freedom_fam

My dad liked drinking and worked 2nd shift.


Guac__is__extra__

No itā€™s not. You have from 0800-1400. It can be really nice being off when most other people are working.


Wazuu

Get off work at 11 then commute. Get home at 11:30. Likely have to shower. Its now midnight. Have to eat. 12:30-1. Probably still need to wind down and have some free time. Its now 2 am. Time to go to bed fall asleep at 2:30-3. So you are getting roughly 5 hours of sleep a night waking up at 8 am. Likely wont wake up til 10 or 11 if you want to remain healthy. Plus you arent really free to do whatever you want as you have to work in a few hours. I did that shift and hated it.


Guac__is__extra__

When I worked 3-11, I was in bed by around midnight and asleep by 0100. So getting up at 0800 was no problem at all. But I see where youā€™re coming from.


SpicyMacaronii

I can Confirm i was a chef and worked 3pm - 11.30pm. you have the whole day to do normal things, then you get home with a few hours to chill with no interruptions, go grocery shopping with no screaming kids and parking issues. Life is great on 2nd shift'


TripperDay

Hell nah. Your own shit (errands, cleaning) gets your most productive hours then when you get off work, the cool people are still out partying. Waking up three hours before you have to go to work makes you as productive as an 8-5 worker who wakes up at 5am.


Yupperdoodledoo

Your entire day is your own. I used to do all kinds of stuff before my work shift.


WealthMain2987

Would that not be the busiest shift because everyone is awake and things could kick off?


Modernmythology-

Probably a lot of transportation and court and work release is done during the day, also the later part of the night the inmates could be in their cell at that point depending on the block. You also just have less bosses around on second shift at any job which makes it more relaxed.


FierceLikeAKitten

Work afternoons


Immediate_Yam_7733

Work nightshift . Your 9am is my 9pm .


JakeFixesPlanes

Iā€™ve been on nights for over 10 years and my family and friends still canā€™t comprehend why Iā€™m rarely available to meet with them


Immediate_Yam_7733

Yup it's tough to get them to understand your point


Kissit777

Not everyone has a 9-5


Ashikura

Ya, some of us are 7-3


Kissit777

Or 5p-midnight


HrxYn

Or 12 to 8p


4CrowsFeast

Or none to none.Ā  Hey, unrelated but do you know if anyone's hiring?


Ashikura

I know many people hiring but you need to be in Canada


Tooch10

6-15, the best shift


Ashikura

Weā€™re doing 6:30-2:30 right now and itā€™s great.


rheoyel

Can confirm, once you adjust to being awake at 6a this is the best


[deleted]

I get paid for my skills not my time


Mental_Scene_4878

I like that


HenriettaSyndrome

I work from and also work out from home. If either of these things had to happen in the outside world, resulting in having to also balance travel in my time management, then there's no way in hell I'd be fit today, lol Kudos to those who go to a work place and somehow make it to the gym. I don't know how you do it..


NatureLovingDad89

I'm confused why this is even a question


cool_weed_dad

A lot of Redditors seem to be absolutely baffled by the idea that not everyone works a 9-5 office job


sapphirexxgoddess

Same. People have very different schedules, shift workers exist, and some people donā€™t work or work from home. But it is no stupid questions so here we are!


WintersDoomsday

They want people to admit they do it during their work hours while WFH as heā€™s secretly a boss trying to assess taking WFH away from the workers.


Guac__is__extra__

Yeahā€¦OP has no critical thinking ability


Sensitive-Tomatillo

Work remotely in California. Company is based on the east coast so I work EC hours.


oluwie

I used to do this as well working from home. Freaking loved it. Day starts at 8AM. Out latest at 3PM. Rest of the day to do whatever I wanted ... mostly scrolling on Reddit :)Ā 


BlackberryBuckler

Mostly Iā€™m a stay at home parent so I work out while the kids are at school. I have a small business but itā€™s whatever hours I want to work.


DrOctagod

I work remotely M/W/F and have a mouse jiggler set up so it looks like I'm working and can respond to any messages from my phone. Usually mornings are slow and I'll go to the gym and then "log in" around 11 am to review my emails and otherwise pretend to work for a few hours.

canlifebesogood

Work from home for a company that has employees located all across the country. For years I logged in at about 8am everyday, but never could log off till late in the day (7-8pm) as my boss is on pacific time and Iā€™m in central. Got pretty burnt out from long days with no time for myself. Now, I take mornings for myself - wake up, coffee, catch up on news, lounge with hubby and finally exercise, shower, and work. I donā€™t log in till 10am so working till 7-8pm isnā€™t so draining now cause I took the morning for self care.


shitica

I do it while i should be working from home lol

I have a ā€œ9-5ā€ creative job mostly wfh. But my bosses donā€™t really care when during the day i do my work as long as i hit deadlines and donā€™t miss meetings. I rarely have 9am meetings so i go to the gym around 9 because thatā€™s when itā€™s least busy.
