Come on, how many of these people who arrive before their boss and leave after him are really working? They fill their diary with meetings where they contribute nothing of any use and make themselves look good so that they can, as you say, climb the greasy pole.

A considerable number I'll wager.

Still you should be used to being wrong by now.

I've worked in the city for nearly 20 years and am currently working in Equities - front office. I start at 07:30 and normally manage to get out at 17:15. Typically if I was in a role that started at 08:00 I'd expect to work until 18:00. Yes a few people work stupid hours - but in general no-one makes them do it and they only do it because a) they are permies and are climbing the greasy pole or b) they don't have a life.

I can understand however why you wouldn't want to say it though - "city manager" running away home at 17:30 - such a hard working chap that makes Britain proud - I am sure people like you would pull out Brittannia from recession in 2009

Because I have zero respect for you?
Because it's a pointless exercise?
Because it would be far better for you to fix your sad life than worry about mine?
Take your pick.

The fat one with the beady eyes.
Our neighbours have a bird feeder with fat balls in it. The squirrels love it, they hang on for ages trying to get at the seeds etc.
Keeps them really still - sets up a really easy shot for the air rifle!!
