Work in a busy office environment. Standard office hours are roughly 9-5, 5 days a week in office. Sometimes people work from home if they have a doctors appt or something. Hours are often a lot longer though (think 9 or 10pm) but people leave the office around 5:30pm to eat get home for dinner and then work again.
The other day, I had finished all my work and someone was reviewing a task. I would need to process the revisions that afternoon. I’d finished all my admin stuff. It was 4:45 so I thought I’d take the chance to beat rush hour and hopefully the task would be ready for my review when I got home.
Get home and have multiple missed calls from a manager I very rarely work with. No voice mails or emails. Then it appears I was needed to help him with something but he had to give the task to someone else instead. This is despite me being around all day and seeing him in the corridor multiple times he didn’t say a peep.
AIBU to leave 15 mins early when waiting for work to come in?
