My supervisor gets visibly annoyed when we leave work at 5 o'clock. Now, 5 o'clock is when the day ends, so I thought that meant I could leave at 5. But today, he pulled us in for a late afternoon emergency meeting. He went into a 45 minute rant about how clock watchers are ruining the company's culture. I'm salaried and I'm not getting paid after 5, should I really be expected to stay and keep working?

The supervisor getting annoyed is dumb. But this is not and never will be a 9-5 job. You will work late but should be the exception rather than the norm.

Tell them you’re “continuing by working from WFH.”

Also, being paid what you’re worth, having nights and weekends, and respecting personal time is culture. Foosball and free snacks isn’t.

Does the “culture” include a proper lunch hour? No I didn’t think so 😆

In-house you can leave at 5 p.m.

At an agency, it’s 6 p.m. But then you can show up the next day at 10 a.m.

You can always not show up at all.

45 minutes that could’ve been spent on actual work so everyone could go home on time.

Absolutely not

Leave when you're done working. Sometimes it will be at 5, sometimes it won't. I always rephrase it a "relocating" rather than "going home" which helps optics-wise.
