    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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    “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.

    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.

      No, I do it too. Specially if everyone else logged out and I can finally work in peace without having to stop to help everyone else.

      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.
