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.

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.

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.

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?

Who isn't racing out the door at 5pm? I trade labor for wages, I'm not sticking around for unpaid overtime just to make some investor who's never worked a day in his life even richer.

What? No! I leave at 6pm. (But start at 2)

Nothing breaks after 5pm because there aren’t any developers still doing releases.

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...

Not everyone has a coke budget 😞

"Sorry we don't live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you."

My supervisor doesn't know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.

Game developers: 🥲

Ops is like Hotel California.

Brother, life is too short not to leave when you want.

Really? Am I the only one: "just" fixing this one thing before go home?

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.

I'm a bit of a 3-4 pm leaver (always do stuff on schedule)

You guys leave work?

Never stayed much past lunch, myself. Working in finance

Get a government job; everybody leaves at 5pm

What?? Special occasion.
