I know a former Technical fellow at Microsoft. He told me people gave him crap & joked it must be nice to be a TL and have the power to leave at 3P. On the other hand it had been years since he hadn’t watched the sun rise drinking coffee at the office. He told me he tries to make sure he doesn’t get out of bed till he hears his coffee machine go off at some time like 4A. Also, at google I’ve known people to work part of the day from home or have moderately shifted schedules to avoid traffic. Though there are often team-wide “core hours” where you are expected to be available for a meeting.
