Many years ago when I first started working, employees were made to feel obligated to stay later than they should to get the job done, whatever that was.  I remember at one job interview, I was informed that if I am told to stay later, then I must stay later. I agreed because I needed the job.

Yes!  In the mid-90's I worked for a company that had that attitude.  They didn't judge your performance on how well you did, but on whether or not you stayed after 5:00 pm rather than leaving at 5:00 pm on the dot.  It was probably the worst job I had in all of my professional years.  They didn't consider the fact that I was always there 30-45 minutes early, but that I bolted at 5:00 pm.  I never left work un-done.  I wasn't a part of the "clique".  Needless to say I was asked to resign after 1 year.  I never ran so fast in all my life!

And as a special P.S., they wouldn't hire women with children.  Only the owner's Executive Assistand had a child & her job came first.  One of the accountants got pregnant while she was employed there and they pushed her out.

This thread goes back to October 2022.   Is this the kind of thing that bothers people?   Seriously???
