There are many people who wish they would quit their 9 to 5 jobs and work on their own start-ups. There are also many of them who prefer the 9 to 5 grind and there’s nothing wrong with that too. There are pros and cons to both of them and what ultimately matters is what makes you happy. It may be a job or it may be a start-up. It’s important to respect an individual’s choice, irrespective of what your opinion or perspective is.
This is why the internet did not take it quite well when someone posted a tweet that dissed the 9 to 5 work culture and the people who enjoy their jobs. Taher Dhanerawala tweeted saying that if someone cannot explain their start-up idea in one line, they should go back to doing their 9-5 jobs. Which started the discussion as to why is working 9 to 5 looked down upon.

Here’s how the Twitterati community reacted to his opinion;
It’s not necessary and this thought is extremely overrated. A founder should have clarity and so does every 9-6 employee to be successful.

What’s wrong with a 9 to 5? 🤔I think we as a society need to stop talking down on hard-working people who have a 9 to 5 to support their families.

Before you actually start a startup or own a business, the best thing to do is be a 9 to 5 worker and gain proper work ethic and experience …

Some day I will want to understand why we have so much disdain for regular job goers. If all becomes start up founders who in God's name will work in them ?! https://t.co/jneQqxvOzt

Hahaha. Imagine the scenario. Everyone has a startup but no one is an employer 🤦🏻♂️🙄

There's nothing bad in doing 9-5.
Do what you love.
Startups fail.
Ideas have no value.
Execution is the key. https://t.co/A0Ult3UMzU

It’s refreshing to see that the 9 to 5 grind which has always gotten slack is getting a lot of support.
