Unfortunately, it depends on the boss you have. Where I work, it is required that you work 42 hours a week. No hour less, and you have to be there at least at 10 and stay to at least 4. No excuse. Even though I'm sure I would be more productive by working less hours, I just fit in, and try to split my work over the 8 hours as the others do, do more pauses and chit chat. At the end I feel a little depressed, because I stay so long at work, and the day is over. I also have problems working for somebody's other pocket, in that case. At my previous job, I could come and go when I wanted. And when I was there, I was extremely productive. SHould have stayed there ;).
