Giving Up On The 9 to 5 ?
Citadel|May 2018

We live in a day and age when the quest to search for the unknown and undertake risk is greater than ever. Does that mean the youth of today is no longer bound by the security of a 9 to 5? Citadel finds out what Pune had to say.

Giving Up On The 9 to 5 ?

John Hope Bryant said an interesting thing – Let your 9 to 5 (work) finance your 5 to 9 (dream). Work is always about fulfilling your dreams. Unless you have big dreams to do something different, chances are, you will be doing the typical 9 to 5 job. It’s what most aspire towards. Look around you and you will realise just that. But as they say – change is the only constant thing. As we change, our attitudes change and so do our concepts of how work should happen.

These days, another trend or rather thought process has been hitting more and more millennials. And the city of Pune is not indifferent to the trend. We’d like to say that the 9 to 5 routine is under attack. The concept of work has changed, thanks to the internet. Today, the 9 to 5 is seen coming to an end as start-ups pop up like acne on a teenager’s skin. Internationally, people have gone on to call a 9 to 5 routine ‘barbaric’. What does Pune have to say about this? Being a young and industrial city (yes, it has become one), one assumes there is a lot to be said and heard.

WHY THIS?

There must be a legit reason behind many millennials ridding themselves of the 9 to 5 tag. “A lot depends on your field of work. If you’re in the creative field, maybe a marketing agency or brand, remote working is something you can take up and not be bound in a 9 to 5. I have a lot of friends who’re doing so many things at once. It sounds like an exciting life, because I am bound to my job!” says Samarth Ahluwalia, a Social Media Executive at a leading digital agency in Pune. The tag or timing is not the subject of importance today. It is about what you want to do, what you think is right and the final outcome.
