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

      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 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.

    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 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.

        I think “quiet quitting” is just the white collar equivalent to the more blue collar “nobody wants to work anymore!”

        Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to… I don’t care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.

      I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      These are the same people who measure lunch breaks by the second and suddenly become careless with clock after 5

    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…

      I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

      The bus to the office was always empty.

      The bus home was always packed.

      Now I work from home

      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
