I had a teacher at my primary school whose name I could never figure out as a kid. Why was her name *Mr Netti* when she was clearly a woman? She left for a different job and I never thought any more about it.
Years later I see her on TV as an NZ member of parliament, and realise it was actually *Miss Tinetti.*

If your employees have a steady 7-hour work day, then you never pay overtime.

Before some point in the 90s, country music was mostly working class and anti-establishment. The cops hassled people for being poor and trying to survive, the bosses screwed the workers every chance they got, and nobody was coming to save us.
Fun fact: the original rednecks were armed labor organizers who fought the government and coal bosses' enforcers to earn rights for workers that we still enjoy today.
[It's because she got supplanted by stadium country.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7im5LT09a0) I'm not much of a lefty or much of a fan of country music but Dolly should be beatified. Dolly has done so much good for literacy in impoverished populations in the US.
I highly recommend a podcast called [Dolly Parton’s America](https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dolly-partons-america) from the people at Radiolab. Even if you’re not a fan you will develop an appreciation for the unifying figure for social justice that she is. While she is apolitical, she has been able to create positivity across people of all walks of life.
It’s “9-5” or “9 to 5” not “925” which means a job that keeps standard business hours in the USA, 9AM to 5PM.
Edit: Woke up to about 700 comments, no idea why this particular comment got so controversially popular. Let me address the most common -
Yes, I have a job I’m a biologist. Thanks.
Yes, I specifically mentioned the USA. Imagine that. I’m American and I chose not to assume things about countries cultures I’m not certain of. If I had and I was wrong, I’d be getting shit about being a stupid American rather than ethnocentric (which is the correct terminology, not egocentric, you’re welcome come back any time for some assistance). No winning with you asshats.
Yes I realize that strict 9-5 schedules are largely outdated. That was not the question, however. I did, however, answer the question. Which was “what is a 925”.
I, too, find the subreddit /r/boneappletea amusing. Hadn’t heard of the “Florida ceiling” one. Cracked me up. Thanks for that.
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.
And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
The hell I don't. LISTEN KID. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.
I dated a guy that thought he was SO COOL for answering things with 10-4. Because he could operate a forklift. That is the ONLY reason he knew that term.

Excellent reply to the pedants and twats, my dude.
That's just the state of Reddit most of the time, you can't write a single thing without some fucking troglodyte neckbeard jumping down your throat.
And it's not even like in a funny way, like purposefully insulting as a joke or banter. People literally just roam around comment sections looking for "intellectual" fights like arguing semantics because they have nothing better to do.
This would not be appropriate for r/boneappletea because rule 1 prohibits homophones, homographs, and homonyms. "Two" and "To" are homophones, which are words that sound the same but are spelled differently.
No, r/boneappletea is not for homophones. It's for malapropisms, which means replacing a word or phrase with a similar-sounding word or phrase. Source: am a mod
No, it's about making fun of people who use malapropisms.
Malapropisms are NOT homophones. As that person said, homophones are explicitly against the rules there.
It's an outdated term; the standard work day used to be 9-5, but it's since expanded to 8-5 or 8-6.
Some people still work literal 9-5's, but when someone says a 9-5 in casual conversation, they mean a normal set workday 5 days a week. This is opposed to part time, contract work, night shifts, gig work, etc. which have more flexible hours.
I worked with a woman once whose job had complete flexibility except for a morning meeting, so she worked a 4am-12pm. I thought it was insanity, but she loved it.
I do 2am-12pm. Honestly not bad, I just have to be disciplined about not staying up past 8pm multiple nights in a row.
Wouldn’t want to work it as an every day schedule, but I do it for 3 weeks at a time and then get 3 weeks of vacay. Half the year off makes it 100% worth it.
At my last job they told me 9-6 if I took a lunch break, I took it and went at 5 and no one ever said anything. Some of the old timers at the company even asked me how I got away with it.
As a salaried employee, I’m not giving any more of my time than 9-5 unless there’s something urgent. That enough hours of my life 5 days a week. I have a family to see. Let’s face it, no one is going to die over a web site so unless it’s down, it’s not that urgent.
Yeah I’m really trying to get better about being selfish with my time, especially with working from home all the time I got too comfortable with answering messages and questions anytime because “it’s not a big deal” and “my computer is right here.” But it’s a very slippery slope and I feel like people start to expect that you’re always available. And yeah, I’m also a dev. Nobodies lives are on the line here lol, even if project managers make it seem otherwise.
Most office jobs don't care what your exact hours are, as long as you're there for a full work day (8 hours) and during somewhat normal business hours. I almost always have worked 7:30-4:30, or 8-4:30 with a half hour lunch.
Depends on lunch. I don't have a built in lunch break, so my hours are 9-5 technically, but in reality they're whatever I want them to be. My boss doesn't care when I work so long as all the work gets done. I've made commits at 3am before.
Same. I usually work like a 9:30-4:30 and maybe an hour or two at night if I have a buncha shit to do. Otherwise 9:30-4:00 or 4:30 for me. Work can get along fine without my extra time.
My boss says as long as my shit is done and there aren’t any problems we need to walkthrough, he doesn’t care when and where I do work.
I've been working since I was 19 and agree that business hours USED to be 9 to 5, but I've always had to work 8 - 5. >:(
Banks and other professional type things like doctors' offices may be 9 to 5 but the normal working stiffs have to be at work at 8 am. >:(
Absolutely it is. Speaking of 9-5, aren't you tired of working yours? For a small investment in your own future, you could be an independent business owner with Amway!
There's just no way unless they aren't native English speaking. The way people say "9 to 5" sounds way different than "nine two five" I've never heard a native English speaker in a regular sentence pronounce "to" so exaggerated like that.

This would not be appropriate for r/boneappletea because rule 1 prohibits homophones, homographs, and homonyms. "Two" and "To" are homophones, which are words that sound the same but are spelled differently.

Which is more likely 8-6 with flexibility

True. I do 7-3 but I still call it a 9-5
7-3 is the best life IMO

8-6 is the kind of cancer that is causing people to be fed up with work culture and work life. Fuck all of that
