Alternative view: "I have a life outside work, now I am free to enjoy that life as a normal human being."
It is devastating to me to see people thinking that to go home and take care of yourself and your loved ones is "undermining progress, improvement and development".
Your family and friends are important, your company is going to fire you just to make share price go up before the end of the quarter. Even if firing you is hurting "progress, improvement and development" of the company in the long term.
- bluGill 5y agoWhich is why I sometimes leave early. The union guys who finish early stand at the door until the 5:00 bell rings because they are not allowed to leave early even if their work for the day is done, while as a non-union employee if I'm done a bit early I get to leave. Sometimes I work until 5:30, sometimes I'm out at 4:30. It all works out.
