I worked in tech for years, and one of the things that drove me crazy
were people who worked late.
There was a lot of hero worship around the "rock stars" who worked late
into the evening. I came in early, got a couple of hours of work in
before they'd show up, then leave at a normal time.
The Rock Stars would come in at 11, work an hour, then take a lunch.
Work until 7pm, then take that company sponsored dinner break for
anyone working late. Go back to work around 8:30pm, leave around 10 or
11. I don't know how much work got done after dinner.
All the while, they'd complain that the friday pastries/bagels/etc.
were gone by the time *they* got in, and complain when there weren't
charging spots open when they drove in right before noon.
They were the smart ones - they ended up working the same amount of
hours as me, with free dinner thrown in.
