The Office, Cheers, Scrubs, Superstore, Brooklyn 99 they're all literally at work. 
King of Queens, Seinfeld, Friends, etc. We see them at their various jobs many times.
As for the crime dramas well duh typically when they're off work someone else is handling the crime, and shows like Criminal Minds we see then work over the course of days so yeah they have to stop working.

Don't forget married with children. >

i wasgoing to mention mwc and the nanny >

I'm not even sure I could name a single sitcom where people don't go to work. >

I mean...we see the parts of their lives that are relevant to the story the creator is trying to tell, right? >

Plus this is just straight up wrong. Off the top of my head, characters in Friends, the Cosby show, Seinfeld, Blackish, Modern Family and Fraser were all frequently shown at work. I'm sure there's countless more but these were the first that came to mind. 
And this isn't even including all the sitcoms set in the workplace like the Office, Cheers, Scrubs and Abbott Elementary. >

Not true, 
Cheers they work at a bar which is the setting of the show
Rachel in Friends goes to work in the cafe in the beginning
Seinfeld Jerry is a stand up comedian which we see him do at the beginning and end of the show >

I can't think of a single sitcom that doesn't depict their work at some point or another. In fact, all of the sitcoms I can think of show the characters at work frequently, nearly every episode for some of the shows. >

Everybody Loves Raymond, The Nanny, Frasier, Roseanne, I Love Lucy, Lost in Space, Star Trek any iteration, the Mary Tyler Moore show, MASH, West Wing, ER, LA Law, Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Legal, Dallas, the Drew Carey show— I mean, if you’re familiar with the show, don’t you instantly know what profession/professions are?
Maybe you should switch to baths… >

Idk that awful Tim Allen show he spends a lot of time at work >

Looks like everyone forgot about Gary's Shoes and Accessories for Today's Woman >

Friends, Cheers, M.A.S.H. >

Aside from Phoebe (& Rachel, to a lesser extent) all the others in Friends are often seen in their workplace. >

We saw literally every one of the Friends at their jobs at various points throughout the show >

Yes, but Rachel & Phoebe much less frequently than the others. >

Phoebe the least I think, but Rachel's job was a pretty significant plot point throughout multiple seasons. From being a waitress at Central Perk to her jobs as a personal shopper, a buyer, etc, her work was featured quite a bit. 
After Phoebe I think it was Chandler we saw at work the least, because of the running joke of no one knowing what Chandler did for a living. >

Aside from the first 2 seasons you never see Monica's work
