About This Quote

From 9-5 you put food on your table. Before 9 and after 5 you make your fortune!!! is a common saying that is often used in a positive context. If a person is a hard worker, there is no shame in being a 9-5 employee. In fact, the hard worker is praised for being dedicated to their job.

However, if an employer puts a hard working person in a job where the workday doesn’t end at 5pm, then that employer has just been putting his or her workers into a dangerous situation. Regardless of the hour that the work day ends, the people who have been put in dangerous jobs have been doing their best to get their work done. When the clock strikes 5pm, they have been ready to go home and rest up for the next day.

The only thing they want to do when they get home is relax and enjoy themselves. Unfortunately, they can’t because their employer wants them to stay behind and work again tomorrow.
