Comment on When you know your boss is an insane moron
criss_cross@lemmy.world 14 hours agoI’ve never had a manager complain about leaving a few minutes early.
It destroys more good will and motivation than the theoretical 40 hour a month. I say theoretical because the odds of anyone getting anything done in those 3 min are astronomically slim.
That employee is never going to stay later to help with anything if they don’t have the wiggle room to leave a few minutes early.

Exactly! Plus, I always despise having to stay after everybody else has left those extra few minutes (if I’m 3 minutes late in the morning due to the bus or such) to ‘keep working’, it does nothing but make me dislike the management.
That said, I’m also never staying late to help with anything, it goes both ways. If they don’t want to let me work with some leeway by a few minutes here and there, I’m not giving them an inch either. Especially given that it would be unpaid extra work!
