I mean, 9-5 isn't even the worst of it. Plenty of people are stuck with Just-In-Time schedules and Zero Hour Contracts where they don't know when or how long they'll be working until the week - or even day - they get the call to come in.
The meme is very Urban Professional in its outlook. Oh no! I'll still have menial bullshit work in a menial bullshit job! This isn't the Utopia I was promised!
My brother, there are worse things than a 9-5 office job.
Not to split hairs, but it depends. A lot of companies don't have paid lunch, so it's 9-5 @ 35 hrs/week or 9-6/8-5. But yeah, still not nearly as bad as tons of much harder jobs with longer hours and less personal autonomy.

I mean, a 9-5 office job is just a 7 hour workday plus lunch lmao. Slicing off 5 hours in a workweek is not too bad.
