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.
"Quiet quitting" 😂
Because yeah, you only do the job they pay you for, how dare you!
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.
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
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.
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.
What? No! I leave at 6pm. (But start at 2)
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: 🥲
Can unfortunately confirm
Brother, life is too short not to leave when you want.
Ops is like Hotel California.
That's very true indeed.
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?
Really? Am I the only one: "just" fixing this one thing before go home?
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.
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'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
Wfh is the worst thing for a dev.

Depends on the company, project, manager and teammates. That being said, fuck WFO. Hybrid should be the bare minimum in 2024.
Hybrid is the best. There are certain types of work which needs my undivided attention and collaboration with my team; office. Other work which I can do slowly and alone; home.
HR: "But what about the bond? Team building exercises. Company morale. It will fall apart-"
Can you shut the fck up?
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.
Please do. I took stole it >:D
