      Whatever time I decide to get in. I tend to get in around 9am on a monday but get in earlier as the week goes by, settling into around 7am by Friday. I tend to finish quite early, as I tend to play squash at around 5pm, but normally stick in at least one or two 10+ hour days.

          I "work" from 9 to 5 with 1 hour lunch break
          Crazy contractors who work from 8 to 7 make life hard for decent folks like us and setup wrong expectations from the client.

            WHS

            I want to spend time with my family, not most of my waking flucking hours at some poxy workplace.

            Although doesn't necessarily apply to me as have been hourly paid so far.

                    Work?

                    Do you mean 'presenteeism'?

                      I've never understood this continuously being at work for long hours: occasionally yes, of course.

                      Do these people not have other stuff to do? Whilst, even if I wanted to always work long hours, there are so many other things I have to / want to do.
