Every single job across industries that I have ever worked at (and i've only worked in the US) has been inflexible on hours and location.

- komali2 10y agoIt's almost as if... different people have different experiences at different companies... as if, dare I say it, not all people and companies are the same?
- mordocai 10y agoYep, that was my point.
- rconti 10y agoRight, but the person you replied to was giving the counterfactual that not all jobs are like that. It didn't need to be rebutted; they were not instead stating that ALL jobs are flexible, just pointing out not all AREN'T.
- vertex-four 10y agoActually, the argument was that "most" jobs in the US are flexible on hours. I really doubt that's true, given that there's a good many minimum-wage or close-to-minimum-wage jobs out there, and a lot of traditional 9-5 office jobs, and the US still has factories and lots of other companies which need to run to a schedule. And the idea that a single person could state that "most" jobs are anything based on personal experience is probably incorrect.
- rconti 10y agoThank you.
- laughfactory 10y agoSame here. All my employers have been totally inflexible on hours and location. It's all ass-in-seat, 8-5 or 9-6, kind of work. I dream of being able to do what others describe here: when I get tired, take a nap, have lunch with my kids everyday, etc... always get shit done, but just also be able to adapt work to fit the life I want more precisely.
