"Clock in in the morning and go straight to work". Next day, we get to leave after an hour of arguing.

The first two hours of nearly every day at my office are wasted on BS chit-chat. We're all more productive at home, but NooOoOOOoo.

4 hrs of meetings to talk about the work not getting done, then 4 hrs of hallway chats about how to do the work not getting done.

As a third shift, every day manager always wants the group to come back for the 9 am meeting rather than they wake up early. 1/2

Then baffled when they talk about how tired they are waking up so early and we explain a 9 am meeting is also exhausting cause we are asleep

I kept my summer vacations always month later than everybody else. Had time to fix shit at work and had a good vacation.

I come in before everyone else does because I like leaving before everyone else. I don’t want that small talk at the end of the day.

I go in late and leave the same amount late. Avoids traffic more so then the early approach where I live.

nono, if you come in late you need to compensate by leaving early

It is nice. Thankfully my company values flexibility. So when I block my calendar at 3 every day no one gets mad about it

Your employer is in the minority. If you take care of your Employees, they will be loyal and do a better job.

I can't imagine being this derisive over work itself,let alone shoehorning a whiny shit take of an issue the comic doesnt depict whatsoever

Keep sucking that corporatist clock, I'm sure your strong work ethic and nothing else make sure you end up a millionaire.

If this kind of general statement feels like a personal attack, you need to sit down and think hard about your life.

Hahah “come in an hour early” boss must be out they damn mind. If I’m coming in an hour early I’m leaving 2 hours early. Fuck mornings

I'm coming in an hour early. Having the office to myself for an hour and leaving an leaving at 3 is glorious...

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This is very normal. I often start an hour early to have more evening time. Work encourage it as we're more productive

Yeah but the things you lie about to get the job first. “I will work as long as it takes.” “I thrive under pressure.” “I luv 2 multi-task.”

A manager (who was later fired) insisted his employees come in way early but let nobody leave before 5PM.

One of my bosses tried guilting me into staying an additional 30 mins everyday despite me working 9.5 hour shifts already. Also work sat

I work in a time zone three hours ahead of the office I work in. I keep local hours (mostly). It’s GLORIOUS.

We're a small company and have people in 7 timezones. Has made meetings only involve necessary peeps and be as terse as possible. Glorious

I like mornings honestly. Get up at 5:30, get to work by 6:30, out the door by 2:30 to enjoy the rest of my day. It's nice

I did that for a while to avoid rush hour traffic. It was nice.

Wait, so your lunch counted as time worked? That is incredible. Here in the US you wouldnt get off until 3pm or 3:30pm at the earliest

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I just grabbed lunch on the way home or made it when I got there. Or just snacked during work.

I go 8-5 which is good for me but I also work from home. Not having to commute has changed my view a lot on what hours I prefer tbh

I'm still at a 50/50 split between office time and WFH. It's not ideal, especially when all my work can be done from home

Do they pay you for your gas and commute time? If not, fuck that.

Yeah I happened to get a new position at this company in the middle of the pandemic and first bit of negotiations was WFH or I’d stay 1/2
