What time should you finish work, and what time do you actually leave !

I'm getting f*cked off with leaving the office 2 hours after i'm supposed to.

Why do you stay 2 hours?

Used to be the same here (not 2 hours all the time) but you just have to get up and leave at the right time. Simple as that.

You'll get **** all thanks for staying late like that.

I don't really understand why people stay later than they have to, unless the work they're doing can't wait until tomorrow. The work will still be there tomorrow, go home!

Its good to rant.
Let it all out

I'm supposed to leave at 5, I leave at half 4. Simpler.

I finish around 5.10 - meant to be 5.30. I do start at 7.45 instead of 9 though.

There seems to be a concept around most places I've worked that to be seen to do free overtime is the best way to impress the bosses. I see people sitting after hours just browsing the net to make that impression. I just can't understand the logic, I've never done unpaid overtime (well one or two exceptions along the way to hit a deadline) and it hasn't stopped me getting promoted/pay increased etc...who taught these people that this works? Is it a personal admission that their 9-5 effort just isn't going to make any impressions!? All it does is create an pressured atmosphere for others to stay late too, browsing...to keep up the pretense. Silly buggers!

You stay 2 hours later after work??








they don't call you Dr. Silly for nothing...

A girl I work with stays late every day. Sometimes for an extra hour. Sometimes much longer. It's not approved overtime either.

She just has to finish everything that can be done before she can leave. It's on her mind all night at home if she doesnt.

Don't know how someone can live like that to be honest. I'm out the door bang on time and everything about the day is instantly forgotten about.

Well said than man!
I have a term for those people who you refer to.....losers!

sometimes I start late or finish early
but I don't leave until what ever I'm doing is finished.

I worked for an obnoxious twat a few years ago, who moaned at me one day because I apparently always went home when 5 o'clock arrived. The fact that the working day was 9 to 5 seemed irrelevant to the fuckwit wanker.

He was one of those people who referred to the "team", and sent people on team-building exercises. He only ever mentioned "employee" once, and that was probably by accident, the tool.

I decided to work for myself after that job, because I was putting up with none of that sh1t. The only problem is that I seem to work longer hours now.:(

I know that guy.

Always uses the phrase "going forward" when speaking at meetings.
