I started using a bidet and I’m never going back.

OP - every single week? That’s ridiculous... and why does your boss “make you”...can’t you just leave at 5 and say c ya!
OP- I would check in before 4 pm or email your boss. Also don’t be afraid to tell him you have a commitment and need to leave at 5. Don’t feel guilty about it. Your boss prob doesn’t have a life. I guarantee...
630 isn’t even that late
Ok, this must be a joke because 6:30 is nothing to whine about. Weak.
6:30 on any night would be too late for me, and I would not appreciate the fools who can’t get their act together during the regular work day making me have to stay late long after I’ve taken care of my business. Set your boundaries around when you can be available for regularly scheduled meetings, put time on his calendar for check-ins if you need to block out his time when it works for you, and if he can’t make it to those check-ins, email him your update.
And to the folks who think 6:30 is reasonable: just because you have no life and no time management skills doesn’t mean you get to punish those who do. If you don’t mind working late, prioritize the stuff that requires others for during the day and save the rest for nights. Don’t be assholes.
Every. Single. Week. Oh because if we leave without "checking in” we get torn up. Not so easy to check in when your boss is never available to actually speak with either.
Once again 630 is not late and there’s no perks I am getting for stay this “late”. If you think you’re having unnecessary check ins that cause you to be late decline it
Summer hours start after memorial day
This have never been a 9-5 industry, speaking for creative.
Never been a 9-5 industry is true, but amen to DL1. That’s the truth!
Also if anyone here needs PM or strategist let me know.
On the bright side you have 50 minutes more to go...what a drag. I feel for you OP
Why?
Not necessarily complaining how late it is but more so that it’s every week and how consistent it is. I’m sure you get some company perks that make staying late for you worth it. Also when your work is done you should be able to leave. Peep the earlier messages of the unnecessary check ins which cause this whole problem.
Agree to disagree. I know you’re thinking you’ve probably stayed later and I’m being a little whiny baby, but there’s validity behind my comment. Do you get summer hours where you are?
