Curious when did your company go from 9-5 to 9-6 and how did they handle the announcement and was their added compensation for the staff ??

Hahahaha. 9-5 in this industry. Have a fucking laugh will you?! Get a grip. Or go work in a bank.

Are you 9-5ers all on the east coast or something? I'm on the west coast and every company I've ever worked for (in and outside of advertising) is 9-6 with an hour for lunch, which makes an 8 hour day.

It's ridiculous that our hours are as insane as they are. We're not curing cancer we are literally making things people actively try to avoid.

@OP, we don't have set hours and don't get paid differently if we have to work late. An extra 250 hours a year pales in comparison to what most of my coworkers and I do.

Added compensation for an hour? That's cute.

most are 9:30-6. i choose to take that as 10-5.

They're all in media. Of course they know about 9-5 and bitch about working until 6.

Lol. I usually do 10 to 7. But a few times a week it's 8 to 10. Or 930 to midnight. Or 1030 to 3 if it's the Friday after the holiday party. How do you possibly set concrete hours in our industry?

I've worked at one of those. Hilarious. Remind them of the hours next time you are supposed to stay past 6. Also, take a whole hours for lunch

Yikes - this doesn't feel like a normal thing. In New York it's a rare agency that starts before 9:30 (and I'm in account). The 6 thing is normal, but often not specified... I mean you work until the stuff is done. I'd be annoyed if I HAD to stay until 6.

Well, technically 5 hours per week and at 50 weeks that is an added 250 hours !

We received an email from the resigning CEO about 6 years ago. So many staff have no clue it was ever 9-5.

I've never heard of 5 or 6 being the stopping hour in this industry. 630 the earliest.

9-6 assumes you get an hour break. Take your break, do not work past 6, make sure you get in by 9. It'll change within 3 months
