I leave on time, how is that an insult? I’d be much more insulted if someone asked me to work for them for free. That’s what unpaid overtime is.

It’s a compliment. You’re skilled and valuable enough that the company won’t dare to give you any bullshit for leaving on time.

as my pay has gone down relative to inflation the amount of fucks I give goes down.

My company finishes at 4. 3:56 every day I clock out so I can get out of the yard before everyone else and not get stuck in traffic.
My mama didn’t raise no fools. Well, apart from my little brother.

Leave home 5 minutes early, and leave work 5 minutes early. Both of which will probably save you a bunch of driving time.
- Zink ( @Zink@programming.dev ) 24•7 days ago
I typically stay at work until 5pm because I make no effort to come in early and I take long lunch breaks.
This place is an absolute ghost town by 5, and it makes me happy to see that. It seems people mostly have their heads on straight here.

Same at my new place, i tend to take a shorter lunch and leave earlier, i usually get into office at 8am or slightly before

You sure it isn’t the finance and management guys leaving at 4pm and earlier while developers are expected to work past hours and even at home?

Don’t forget Sales people too. At my company they frequently schedule fun activities right in the middle of the day.
- NigelFrobisher ( @NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone ) 20•6 days ago
Nothing breaks after 5pm because there aren’t any developers still doing releases.

Technically correct, which is the best type of correct
Edit: as long as you are not part of the infrastructure team. Then things break right after 5 PM.

I leave at 3 pm on office days to beat traffic. Everyone does that. What is this 5 pm thing he talks about? Must be America…
- Sauerkraut ( @Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•3 days ago
When I worked in healthcare there were days where I clocked in at 7am and was forced to keep working until 11pm without any lunch or dinner break. Worker rights in the US are almost completely non-existent and the way some workers get treated is hellish
- 1984 ( @1984@lemmy.today ) 2•3 days ago
The US values company profits over all else. It’s different in Europe because we have legal protections.
- Sauerkraut ( @Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•3 days ago
Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.
- 1984 ( @1984@lemmy.today ) 1•3 days ago
Yeah I agree. I will never be filthy rich but I will also never be very stressed out or risk ending up on the street. It’s a fair deal. :)

- lightnsfw ( @lightnsfw@reddthat.com ) 8•7 days ago
My job involves going out to sites to install equipment sometimes. This means as long as I’m walking out with a box in my hand I can leave whenever I want. My boss doesn’t care where I am as long as things get done.
You guys leave work?
- spacedout ( @spacedout@lemmy.ml ) 4•7 days ago
Never stayed much past lunch, myself. Working in finance
- sebsch ( @sebsch@discuss.tchncs.de ) 4•7 days ago
Really? Am I the only one: “just” fixing this one thing before go home?
- ursakhiin ( @ursakhiin@beehaw.org ) 3•6 days ago
I only do that when the problem space is interesting.
Most developers are just implementing CRUD using a framework that does most of the work. There isn’t the interest motivation to keep on trying to fix things.

I’m a bit of a 3-4 pm leaver (always do stuff on schedule)
- PlexSheep ( @PlexSheep@infosec.pub ) 2•6 days ago
You guys must have better hours than me.
Usually 09:00 to 17:30, 40 hour week. (30 minutes break). In addition, my commute is 1:30h one way.
