Do you feel that some people especially in the black community use the term 9-5 too loosely?

I understand a 9-5 means you have a boss to answer to but is someone that works at a finance firm or tech firm making 100K+ a 9-5 worker?


Careers shouldn’t be labeled 9-5 even though a lot of folks who don’t have careers like labeling them as such.

 

[boskey]

Are you saying 9 to 5 is supposed to be an insult? Cuz I never heard that...

 

[King Poetic]

I wouldn’t take that saying serious

it’s just basically saying u work a normal job nothing more or less

 

[Primetime21]

It doesn't matter if you make minimum wage or 6 figures, it's still a 9 to 5.

 

[8WON6]

9-5 implies you go into a place 5 days a week to at a job.

what i think you're getting at is people using it as some kind of insult and doing that goofy ass "i'ma boss, i can't work no normal lame job...blah blah blah" shyt.

Who cares what blacc ppl think. Most of them are broke

 

[Umoja]

The problem is that the people using the term have a limited understanding.

 

[buzzkill]

Most these "bosses" are just contractors for uber or doordash . And they have the nerve to look down on 9-5 workers. They fail to realize the best way to start a real business is to learn from a 9-5 and get experience in your field then do your own thing.

a lot of people who claim to be entrepreneurs do use the term 9-5 as an insult even tho said 9-5 worker might make significantly more money tho.

And this is how the rest of the world really feels unfortunately. We're either too dumb, violent, or confident for their liking

How are they not a 9 to 5 worker?? A 9 to 5 worker is generally just describing someone in the rat race, working within a corporation. What you described is literally the definition of that.

Yeah, but usually people who refer to 9-5 as an insult aren’t necessarily concerned with the money as much as they’re concerned with the autonomy that comes from working for ones self. It just depends on what you value, and what you can bring value to, there’s really no need to insult either side beyond “That’s not for me.”

I think 9-5 is the definition of a career, no?

Doesn't matter what you earn or what your title is.

 

[Wild self]

In he IG generation, a 9 to 5 dude is non existent. It stemmed from the stunting culture getting outta hand.
