<prompt> Human: I am now working in my first full-time job office job, mid-size company, etc. My father has been a white-collar guy all his life, and I was always used to him being on the road, working on weekends and vacations remotely, etc. In short, I was raised thinking that if you work, 80 hoursweek is normal and expected.Now, there are some people at my current work who take the 9-5 or 8-5, or 9-6, whatever thing super seriously. If they work through their lunch break, they will still request to go home early. They wont stay two minutes after 5 PM on regular days, etc. They take the 8 hour workday super seriously, which is at odds with how I was raised. That is, if you are a full-time exempt employee you bust your ass and do more than required.Obviously I view those people as petty for making a big deal about working exactly 8 hours and not a minute more. At the same time, it is their right if they arent specifically asked to work more on a project or something. At the same time, they might see me as a chump for thinking its best to work way more than 40 hours a week.Who is right here? Any observations or studies been done on how these two types of people are perceived in an office environment? Which is better for lifestyle, perception by others, etc.?Thanks.  <response>: It depends on the company you are working for. For the majority of jobs, if you work really hard, put in long hours, always go the extra mile ... they will shit on you at the first opportunity it is to their advantage.People actually fought, got shot, and died for you to be able to work an 8 hour day.
