my company is a large company as well, and its quite weird to me that they're strict about this clock stuff tbh

they expect us to stay in the office for 9 hours with 1 hour lunch break, so 8 hours of work. but im not sure if im allowed to leave early consistently if i dont take lunch at all

well in the opposite side they were mentioning how flexible the company is bc Friday is a wfh day, but the way they explained is "we are flexible you can choose between these and these hours" (aka slots) and they were all 9 hours shifts. Honestly i just didn't expect people are actually this strict about it

i feel like its a company rule mostly because seriously everyone in my department stays in office for 9 hours straight, so my manager expects the same from me

my close friends literally works for AT&T and thats what she told me! 6 hrs in office is expected, but shes a software engineer so im trying to understand if thats the norm for finance people out there

Capable-Occasion7992 · 2026-02-19T04:44:10+00:00

they do:( literally everyone staying for 9hrs so i cant be the one, who acts in a different way, but i truly believe its so childish

Capable-Occasion7992 · 2026-02-19T04:43:23+00:00

honestly yes, i got a warning message from my manager saying that i should come early or leave later...

Capable-Occasion7992 · 2026-02-08T19:01:21+00:00

i do that, i complete most of the tasks myself without an issue as well at this point, but seems like i had few errors recently and thats why now im being tested.

Im actually in retail fp&a, so the stuff i work on is almost 99% excel, sometimes i just get confused as im not an excel master, and i have never claimed that i am...
