[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should work the minimum number of hours needed todo your job well. If that is two hours a day of real work, all the better.

People who pride themselves on how hard they work are pathetic, as are people that regularly don’t take their full vacation entitlement.

Unless you are doing something like trying to find a cure for cancer, work is a means to an end. The corporation willhave no loyalty to you when the time comes.[/quote]

This is not a corporation, this is the federal government and your hours matter. You never have to work after hours, but you need to be available 8-4:30 or whatever your hours are. You can’t work 2 hours and then run errands. [/quote]

Only working 8 hours has not been my experience. The unsaid expectation in my branch is that you have to work more than that to get the work done. We simply do not have enough people to do all of the work that is required in the time allotted. Yet we can’t charge overtime for it because it’s not considered “high profile project” work. But our supervisor tells us “I want to make it clear that no one has to work more than 8 hours a day.” But that’s not the reality—we actually do if we expect to be able to finish the work in time.
