Well my boss stands up and says, "Guys, its 5.30pm on a Friday evening, lets get the heck out of here or we would have no life!"....

haha...there are seldom bosses like that...i'll usually stay back an hour or two more to finish what my boss left off...

you got such a good boss, i wish my boss is like dat.........

Stay Back = Hardworking OR Incompetent
Leave Early = Competent OR Lazy

But most of the time, others will take the second/right-side choice.
How I wish there are CC of your boss in every company. Heck, my friend came back from overseas, telling me that he work from 8.30am till 4.30pm. After 4.30pm consider overtime

i would say stay there and LEARN something..
unless you got an emergency, need to leave..
else, stay there, ask if got anything that you can help..

i don't like OT, and i wish to leave at 6pm everyday..
but sometimes those tasks just cannot be completed and it's urgent..
so, OT til 11pm also needed, and i don't mind because there are tasks to do..

speak from my point of view, i don't like seeing my juniors leave when i'm darn busy and overloaded..
can't the hack he asks and offers help??

^- ok i just voice out my opinions ... ur juniors earns lesser than u, they have narrower job scope and they need a life. To be more sacrastic, u (i dunno how old are u ) might already have a family or something or u just hooked up and love working? but those juniors they might need to get out there for a life or maybe they just not a workaholic, but since u are so overloaded, i think u can assign them some task and i think IF they considerate enough they will help u no question ask, besides maybe the job u working on is so hard that out of their level? we duno

But i will stay for at elast 15 mins or a few hours if there is something to do, but im sure i will leave on SHARP on friday

As a senior yourself, you should be able to bring the matters to management if you are overloaded, and from there management can locate more resources to help you out, not just sit there and complaining why no junior come to help me.

how much they give me, how late i stay...
but boss wont happy if see u go back early

i met 1 account executive A doesn't like her juniors go back home sharp early.. somemore A's senior - assistant accountant go back home sharp also which came back from USA..A complained to her senior that she can't go back sharply..if continue doing so sure juniors will follow..so bad..

for me..i go back sharp..if stay also 15 minutes only..but this depends on whether got urgent task or not~~

i stay longer just the sake of OT...

If that is the case then it is perfectly OK to leave sharp IF there is nothing left to do. Leaving sharp and staying back when NECESSARY shows a lot of maturity in a person. Unfortunately in Malaysia people tend to perceive ppl who stay late as the "Go Getters". I used to think so when I started working 3 years ago but now I go back ON TIME once all work is done.

In fact, if my team members are able to complete their assignments before the stipulated dateline with quality and accuracy, I'd let them take the rest of the day off.

Against my company's policy, but it's a form of appreciation for smart-workers.

Hmmm but I dont want them to think that I will leave the company anytime soon cause if they do, I think I will suffer working there

Haiz so what to do, I think will stay for 30 minutes for 2-3 days in a week and the rest will stay for around 15 minutes then leave.

I have a simple solution for it.

Do your report on what you have achieve within a day, a week, problem faced. make it thick thick.. then show it to management so that when there is some ppl backstab you, you have the "fact" to show that u r a disciplined person, doing everything organisly, hence your work can finished faster than others.. i think ur boss should stand at ur side = =+

I work in UKM, as usual office hours for government staff will be from 8am to 5pm. Anyway, I reach office before 7am as I don't like have jam... as for going home... I'll stay in office until 7 or 8pm. Not because of OT (government not OT), but because I need to settle my work.

Ya I also wish have boss like you, I work 2 or 3 hrs after office hours, even worst at the end of the month until 2am or 3am. And saturday and sunday all the days for 8hrs for free. I can't claim overtime.

All together 2hrs x 20day = 40hrs
Saturday or Sunday 8hrs x 4day = 32hrs.
Total 72hrs to 100hrs is free for one month.

Stay for 10 to 15 minutes afta work.
No OT coz... no allowance given from my company...

This is a good work ethic which should be brought over to other govt offices.

Last time I used to work like you, but my superior didnt appreciate my efforts. They kept to say that i am not efficient, cant finish paper work even i work longer hours. I need guideline from them,I need their advice If i did mistake.They told me that i should notice my mistake Before somebody tell me. I work like in hell. I just assistant in that company, but my superior did that to me.

Work long hours also no use ler.....after 8hours, your brains will start to get tired and start to slow down. might as well go home and rest and start kambatte the next day.

As i am writing this, i am in the office working...so freaking lame to work on a sat and worst still i will be working tomolo too!!!! Think i wanna work? not even paid OT or meal allowance or watsoever....i ll be working 1 whole week nonstop...well, this is msian mentality and i am getting tired of it. Am i being efficient? I really dun think so...but wat to do?? According to my boz, longer hours means PRODUCTIVE......so i must stay late and work on weekends. 8pm go home consider VERY EARLY.....11pm will be the PERFECT TIME.....tis is my life....freaking angree now. btw, i start work at 9am.

If i come at 2pm and go home at 11pm, considered i worked only hafday!! My working hours is from 9-6!! wat happened to the extra hours i put in which is from 6-11? Not counted???? Yes! Its freaking not counted and i am forced to take a hafday leave!

And for those who feel unfair for having too much work while their collegues able to leave early....please ask them to help out loo or tell your boz about your workload. make it known to the boz. Dun keep doing it and feel like shit when yer collegues get to leave early. If u dun voice it out, then dun complain.
