If you go off on time, the boss would think 1) you are not hardworking or 2) you have too little work to do. Thus, it's easier to get bypass for increments or promos. Of course, there are really those who really have a lot to do and we must give them credit for staying late to finish up but like you, I rather get less pay and enjoy more. hehehe! yah loh. the aussies always knocks off on time regardless whether they finish their work or not...

It's everywhere in KL, not just Ampang. No joke.com An: It's just interesting that's all - like you said, a lot of Aussies knock off work right on the dot. But even those who stay late, rarely stays later than say 7-8pm. Not so in Asia. So can we just say Aussies are not productive? Can't also because that is not indicated by a bad Australian economy. On the contrary, it's booming. Hijackqueen: Quality of life is not solely measured by how much disposable income you have. Extra time to spend with friends and family is equally valuable, if not more. YC: I’ve seen it. It’s everywhere in KL, not just Ampang. No joke.com

I know she`s hot and all so maybe it was Freudian slip? And no, it`s not wrong at all. It`s just that people`s priorities have changed. I meant that the hyperlink is mistyped!

Except those in medical or finance, almost everyone I know do not work past 7pm - which is considered early in Asia as Sourrain has mentioned. Sourrain: Your example is quite indicative of how it actually is - they stay late because they goofed off during the "proper" working hours. "Stay late to show face". Grr. YC: Exactly! :D Cherry: well not strictly 9-5 but you know, regular or fixed hours.

The very next day,I had collegues asking me why do I leave so early. This is the same company where the team next to me takes 2 hour lunches, 3 hour shopping breaks, breakfast breaks,tea breaks and endless gossiping throughout the day - and leave work at 11pm citing too much work. I used to feel like I'm not putting in enough effort to take long leisurely lunches and shopping trips with the daily breakfast hour.People also think that I am so free..not seeing the lunch breaks I take on my desk Now,I clock in and clock out,right on the dot.
