My manager thinks I don't show enough "urgency" because I'm laid-back and leave at 5 PM. But the thing is, I get to work by 7 AM and work through lunch, so I'm putting in the hours and getting my work done. Here's my question: Does management usually value staying late over working extra hours earlier in the day, even if the total time is the same or more? I don't get it, must be a perception thing.

It’s not out of the question that most managers have no idea of the work you are doing. Recently watched a video where they said you should be checking in with managers about what you’ve done that week and what your focus is. Helps keep that visibility. Not sure how every manager out there would take it, but interesting thought to do.

Thanks for sharing
