That's called a delusional software developer bubble. Try this at a minimum wage job or pretty much anything outside of IT.

- gerbilly 9y agoI've worked plenty of those kinds of jobs. I worked retail, farm labour pumped gas etc. When I worked them I showed up on time. It depends what you sign up for. There are 'availability' jobs and 'ability' jobs. The more you try to find a job tailored to your ability, the less people tend to demand your availability. They will try to demand it anyway, but if you're good you can get them to overlook it. For now I'm lucky enough that I can live this way and still make customers happy.
- pixelbill 9y agoI think you nailed it, you are lucky. Most jobs do not function like this, to think otherwise is delusional. At every single employer I've ever worked for, if you left early or came in late despite accomplishing all your work, you would get in trouble. I have seen it happen over and over again. Typically, they will claim that you could have accomplished more work if you were only there for the extra time, regardless of the reality of the situation. Your time outside of work is worthless to the company, and they would rather waste your time so that they can (possibly) squeeze another drop from you.
