[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that all the guys staying late aren't really working or they COULD leave earlier if they wanted to. Several guys I know arrive at 9:30 or 10 am, take an hour lunch (we only get 30 min free), talk all day and then "can't get their work done" by 4:30. One told me that he struggles with how hard the dinner/bedtime routine is with his preschoolers, so he likes coming home late (leaving his wife to do all that work?!).

As a female manager it's frustrating to see all of this. I'm not saying that all people who arrive home after 6pm are doing this, but a great deal of men are playing this game. Why exactly can't they show up at 7am and work until 4:30 or 5? Or 7-3:30, which is 8.5 hours. Working 10-6pm is a CHOICE usually. And yeah, it's usually men. Work smarter, not longer hours![/quote]

If they’re sleeping in until 9AM and coming home just in time for the kids to go to bed seems like they’re the smart ones? More sleep, less hassle at home or duties take your pick and they miss rush hour to boot.[/quote]

Sure if you don't care about your kids, your wife or your marriage. [/quote]
