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.
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.
Please do. I took stole it >:D
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.
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
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.
My boss doesn't care if I log in at 11 and log out at 3 with a 2 hour lunch in the middle, but to be fair, my boss is me and I'm pretty chill.
Can you be my boss plz?
Game developers: 🥲
Can unfortunately confirm
as my pay has gone down relative to inflation the amount of fucks I give goes down.
Due to inflation I now leave at 3:30
Act your wage
I like that and am going to steal it.
Please do. I too stole it.
Just remember to steal some stationary as well.
If you're not stealing from work, you're stealing from your family.
Really? Am I the only one: "just" fixing this one thing before go home?
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.
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...
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
The US values company profits over all else. It's different in Europe because we have legal protections.
Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.
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. :)
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
How do you beat traffic if everyone does it?
I knew someone would see the logical flaw here... :)
I'm a bit of a 3-4 pm leaver (always do stuff on schedule)
Never stayed much past lunch, myself. Working in finance
