[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not apologize. Work hard while you are there. Contribute and get some "wins" early. Don't take lunch if you think you need the time. But repeat: do not apologize. Leave at 5 everyday when you start. Jobs are usually slow to gear up and it will be easier at first. People who leave at 5 and are high performers are rarely questioned.

I actually disagree with a lot of these replies.
We have no idea what kind of industry OP is in.
If there are meetings scheduled with different time zones, if there are corporate events like in the food industry where dinners are expected, if it's healthcare where patient care doesn't always go according to schedule, if her team member have morning commuting issues of their own and drive in from WV at 930 am to avoid traffic and work late, etc etc.
OP is going to be the newbie in a job where perhaps everyone else is also staggering their schedules and have done so a long time and come in late and leave late. We have no idea and neither does she.
So going into a new job with this [b]"everyone must work around me, I don't care what everyone has done and worked out before I got here[/b]" is not the feminist power statement you think it is.

Where do you see that, exactly?
Setting your own boundaries <> everyone should work around me. [/quote]
