Why is it though that my employer is increasingly expecting me to work my lunch, come in early, leave late, and to dedicate my life soul to the company? I was recently called into the director’s office and had my commitment to the job brought into question.
He explained that sometimes he is at his desk until 10 pm. Why do I think I can go at 5 pm? I told him that I think I can go that early because that is when he stops paying me. If he would like me to stay, I will on occasions do so provided he pays me for my time and services.
I don't think that is unreasonable, do you? At the end of the day I want to go home to my family and spend some quality time with them. I do not want to sit at my desk facing his office, afraid of leaving in case I become surplus to requirements! It's high time my employer realised that his employees do in fact have a life outside work.
