this small place that im sorta freelancing at, they keep their fulltime designer in until like whenever. even when theres no important deadlines, youre not expected to leave until at least 8.
so thats normal?

i mean, we start at 10, but its just the idea that theres NO standard time to leave bugs me, or i mean the standard time is 8 or 9...

8 as in PM? Haaa haaa, hell no!
I do 8:30 AM until when the manager leaves, which is generally around 3:45 PM. He starts at 6:00 AM. I got lucky this time around.

at design places in NYC, the hours are more like 10:00 to 7:00, and it's not unusual for people to stay until 8 or 9.
in some web design places, especially back in the late-90s, the hours were more like 12:00 noon to 1:00 AM.

North americans seriously work way to many hours. And do not get enough vacation days.

i guess my work is more like 9-6 but it's pretty flexible so i show up around 9:30-10am and stay until needed. i rarely leave before 5:30pm (friday is one exception) and will stay late if needed. i can access some files from home, too, so i often put more hours at home.

I was talking to boyinstatic back when he worked for kioken, and he said that he would show up to work at 12:00 noon, play Soul Caliber with his workmates for a couple of hours, and then work until midnight. I'm pretty sure this would never happen today.
canuck is right, tho. we work too long. It's killing us early.
