Sup all, in my current job, it's expected to stay after you finish. If you leave on time, it's heavily frowned upon. It takes me 2 hours to get to where I work on most shifts.
Yesterday, I left 45 minutes after I finished as the level of work was so high I just couldn't walk away. And when I eventually did, it was received badly.
This has become such a regular occurrence within the team, that me, the new guy (couple of months now) have a 'bad rep' for leaving on time.
Even though the first 2 weeks, I came in 45 mins early every day for the first 2 weeks and have only probably actually left on time a handful of times.
I'm all for giving that bit extra, truly I am. But the nature of work means that there is ALWAYS a back log, it's not a job that will have nothing to do. I just don't want to become a person who stays at the office 1+ hour after they finish every day yet I don't want to become that guy everyone hates because I leave on time?
Thoughts? I mentioned it in a catch up meeting with HR, and they simply said "it's the nature of the business and to be expected". So, I can't turn to them. I've been contracting for years and normally, when I finish is when I finish, if you want more, you pay for more, this is perm.
