Hi all.
I am working on a project in a team of 6.
When 5pm comes, I will finish what I am doing and leave. If something MUST be done then I will of course stay.
I have some fellow employees that give me the evils for leaving at 5 or 5:20 (or something along those lines), however I am a firm believer that staying longer does NOT mean more work output. I know of other people who work late but then spend time playing freecell or minesweeper during the day.
For example today one bloke wants to go through a presentation at 5pm, to which other members of the team have already checked. He is bulldozes his ideas through and does not listen to others. They shared a lift in with him, so they are forced to stay as well, even though they won't be doing anything.
I am on a salary and do not get overtime.
I will stay after 5pm if required, but doing overtime every single day?!
So, OCUK, do you do unpaid overtime?
