I leave on time, how is that an insult? I’d be much more insulted if someone asked me to work for them for free. That’s what unpaid overtime is.
It’s a compliment. You’re skilled and valuable enough that the company won’t dare to give you any bullshit for leaving on time.
“Quiet quitting” 😂
Because yeah, you only do the job they pay you for, how dare you!
I think “quiet quitting” is just the white collar equivalent to the more blue collar “nobody wants to work anymore!”
Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to… I don’t care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.
I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.
as my pay has gone down relative to inflation the amount of fucks I give goes down.
Act your wage
I like that and am going to steal it.
Please do. I too stole it.
Just remember to steal some stationary as well.
If you’re not stealing from work, you’re stealing from your family.
Due to inflation I now leave at 3:30
My company finishes at 4. 3:56 every day I clock out so I can get out of the yard before everyone else and not get stuck in traffic.
My mama didn’t raise no fools. Well, apart from my little brother.
Leave home 5 minutes early, and leave work 5 minutes early. Both of which will probably save you a bunch of driving time.
I typically stay at work until 5pm because I make no effort to come in early and I take long lunch breaks.
This place is an absolute ghost town by 5, and it makes me happy to see that. It seems people mostly have their heads on straight here.
Same at my new place, i tend to take a shorter lunch and leave earlier, i usually get into office at 8am or slightly before
You sure it isn’t the finance and management guys leaving at 4pm and earlier while developers are expected to work past hours and even at home?
Don’t forget Sales people too. At my company they frequently schedule fun activities right in the middle of the day.
Who isn’t racing out the door at 5pm? I trade labor for wages, I’m not sticking around for unpaid overtime just to make some investor who’s never worked a day in his life even richer.
These are the same people who measure lunch breaks by the second and suddenly become careless with clock after 5
What? No! I leave at 6pm. (But start at 2)
Nothing breaks after 5pm because there aren’t any developers still doing releases.
Technically correct, which is the best type of correct
Edit: as long as you are not part of the infrastructure team. Then things break right after 5 PM.
I leave at 3 pm on office days to beat traffic. Everyone does that. What is this 5 pm thing he talks about? Must be America…
How do you beat traffic if everyone does it?
I knew someone would see the logical flaw here… :)
I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.
The bus to the office was always empty.
The bus home was always packed.
Now I work from home
When I worked in healthcare there were days where I clocked in at 7am and was forced to keep working until 11pm without any lunch or dinner break. Worker rights in the US are almost completely non-existent and the way some workers get treated is hellish
The US values company profits over all else. It’s different in Europe because we have legal protections.
Too true. I would give my right hand to live in Europe rather than the US.
Yeah I agree. I will never be filthy rich but I will also never be very stressed out or risk ending up on the street. It’s a fair deal. :)
Not everyone has a coke budget 😞
“Sorry we don’t live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you.”
My supervisor doesn’t know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.
Game developers: 🥲
Can unfortunately confirm
Ops is like Hotel California.
That’s very true indeed.
Brother, life is too short not to leave when you want.
Really? Am I the only one: “just” fixing this one thing before go home?
I only do that when the problem space is interesting.
Most developers are just implementing CRUD using a framework that does most of the work. There isn’t the interest motivation to keep on trying to fix things.
No, I do it too. Specially if everyone else logged out and I can finally work in peace without having to stop to help everyone else.
