Dear 9 to 5, we need to talk.

 

You had a good run.

Routine, structure. A desk with your name on it.

You gave us clock-ins and structured coffee breaks.

Casual Fridays and overtime.

And sure, we’re grateful. Truly.

 

But you’re tired. Outdated.

And honestly? Just not working anymore.

 

You were built for factories, filing cabinets and fax machines.

We’re building something new.

We don’t need permission to take a lunch break.

We don’t need a manager to tell us what focus looks like.

We don’t need to perform productively from 9 to 5, five days a week, just to prove we’re doing something that matters.

 

Because we are.

We’re doing it with rhythm, with honesty.

With quiet ambition and a strong espresso.

 

Some days we work solo.

Some days we do it together.

But we’re never doing it alone.

We’re not chasing you’re ladder.

We’re designing work on our terms.

 

So thanks for the memories.

And the Labour Day public holiday.

 

But you’ll find us somewhere better.

You’ll find us at ko&co – building what comes next.
