In the past I've seen many permies in the private sector with this sort of attitude - the hours of nine-to-five are only a sort of penance in order to pick up their paycheck. Maybe I'm wrong but I just assumed it is more widespread in the public sector.
Yes I've seen this bizarre attitude in both private and public sector. If you haven't suffered you haven't earnt your pay cheque. Pay is a reward for staring at a screen for the hours on your contract of employment. Sat near one guy one time who did exactly that, just sat there maybe surfing the web sometimes but mostly just staring at the screen, he would leave bang on 5pm, could set your watch by it. He gave me one hell of a glare one day, I remember working my arse off all day while he sat there gormless, then when I left at 4.57 instead of 5 or later I got tutted and glared at. Had me chuckling all the way to my car. Nutters.
I think it must stem from childhood, reward for suffering, can't leave the class till teacher says, that kind of thing.
I thought you would be fat, ginger and would be walking around with a light sabre humming the tune to star wars
Well... I'm not fat!
daaa daa du du du daa daa....
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
