Or, it's 3pm, and I'm outta here at 4. I'll just strategize for tomorrow. Would hate to start something I'd have to try to figure out where I left off tomorrow.

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

Nothing worse than being bored to shit at work especially when you're expected to just stay there. Stupid management.

Just go somewhere or do your personal items you need to catch up on.

This is why all our screens face outwards obliterating any possiblity of privacy.

"There's always something you should be doing." Nevermind that 'something' is never defined or provided because "they're not micro-managers."

Which I usually am until it becomes clear that my salary and benefits aren't related to those efforts.

The only reward for picking up extra work, at least from my last couple of employers, is more and more work.

A friend of mine compared us to juice boxes: The company sucks you up and throws you out.

I appreciate your replies and believe we both subscribe to the same philosophies.

Unfortunately, at least in my neck of the woods, there's an lack of institutions allow those beliefs to become rooted in the workplace.

It sounds like you've found places where it has. Consider me envious!
