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
Game developers: 🥲
Can unfortunately confirm
What? No! I leave at 6pm. (But start at 2)
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.
I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.
“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.
Ops is like Hotel California.
“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.
What?? Special occasion.
Never stayed much past lunch, myself. Working in finance
