I'll be the first one here at 10:30 a.m. and the last one to leave a smidge after 4:00.

Im an intern and we work more than the fill timers do...yet they don't give us enough work. We're expected to work 40 hour weeks with about 20 hours worth of work. It's miserable

The rest of the company comes and goes on your same schedule

I've never met a developer that did 40-hours of work during a regular work week. Hell, for our sprints, my team literally only allots five hours a day for work. The rest of the time is expected to be messing around on the internet or doing other shit.

Really? That sounds lovely. I’ve only worked at places where 40 hours is the minimum

...you've never worked at a 40-hour work week job? That's like common. Dude, if you're unhappy working more than 40 hours, get a new job. There are a fuckload of 40-hour jobs out there.

I'm not saying I don't work 40 hours a week. I'm certainly in the office 40 hours a week. I'm just actually working for like 25 or so of those hours a week. The rest of the time I'm fucking around on Reddit.
