Please tell me where you work and how I can get a job there. Your work's culture is very rare.

- noir_lord 9y agoNot that rare, OP's description is exactly my work situation. I go in at 9, leave at 5 on the dot (+/- 15 minutes), no one contacts me outside of work, only the MD even has my mobile number. Boss actually gets annoyed if I work on stuff outside of work time. I think the secret is to find a decent none-tech place to work, everyone else works 9/5 so there is no expectation on me not to.
- marssaxman 9y agoI am currently working at a little AI startup, which does have an unusually good culture, but I was talking about my overall experience across 20+ years in the West Coast tech industry, mostly in startups but also some larger places, including two of the Big 5. I have seen all kinds of cultural failures, certainly, but I've been watching out for this one, because I've been curious about how it was happening, so it surprises me that I haven't seen anyone in management doing anything to make it happen.
- chomp 9y agoCorporate life! I'm a very staunch 9-5'er, the entire company basically shuts down at 5pm. We do have on-call rotations but outside of those hours, we don't have communication with each other. It's a boring, but quiet life.
- akgerber 9y agoI've work in the startup world in NYC for years and no one has ever complained that I don't check my emails outside of work hours — I do have Slack installed on my phone, and occasionally answer things outside of work hours, but not habitually, and no one's complained when I don't.
