30-40 minutes early. if I'm going to have a cup of coffee and take a dump every morning, might as well get paid too.

I start working as soon as I get to work. So I'm never early. I have to be there by 7:10, I'm usually there by 6:30.

I just do what I need to when I need to. Some days is 8 hours, some is 12+, and others is 6 or less.

This is me pretty much. If I have to go to the office, no one really cares if/when I get there. My commute is about 45 minutes Used to be between 7:15 and 7:30, the past few months I get there between 7:45 and 8 but I also leave last most days.

Now if I have a field project or a meeting I'm (almost) always there at least 15 mins before.

I enjoy the flexibility, but I don't abuse it because I like putting food on my table.

I get paid well and accept the responsibility that goes with it.


No offense intended. Nothing wrong with working hard.

I show up at 6 or shortly after and start working. I do it mainly to beat traffic between LP and BR.

Usually at work at 8am and I'm fortunate bc I live and work about 5-10 mins away. Usually don't leave until 5:30-6:30 most days.

Most of my office shows up at 8 and works til 4, my boss usually shows up at 7:15 and leaves again for 5 hours and then shows up once or twice more during the course of the day to mess things up.
I choose to show up at 7, because I get more of my stuff done in that first hour, the rest of the day is spent balancing my projects and putting out fires for others. It also helps that if I have to stay over it usually means I don't ever have to stay past 4. I'm a person who believes in staying to get the job done right, but there's only one other person in my office that's like that, the rest of them don't care about deadlines and it annoys me.

I was an Ops Mgr last year and decided it wasn't worth my time. 80-90 hours a week, on call 100% of the time...

One year was enough for me.

Retired now. When I worked full time I was due at 0700 arrived at 0530. Got more done before 0700 than in the rest of the day. Left at 1530 if nothing going on

Same. Get in around 515 or 530. Required at 630 but I get organized my first hour before employees arrive. Leave between 1530 and 1630 most days.

If I decide to go into the office I'm not getting in before 10:00 and I'm not staying after three.

That goes for meetings in general because frick Atlanta traffic.
