> I know I have been lucky enough to have a manager that was not offended if I finished all of my work early and left A problem with most knowledge-domain jobs is that the work is never done. There are always new tasks incoming and other tasks parked pending further information, so there's no opportunity for for employees to say 'I'm finished'. In that scenario the only way the employee can escape is to say 'I have met my assigned hours'.
