To leave work or not to leave work?

vik06

My boss told me I could work 8 hour days till I have the baby. Should I leave at the end of my 8 hours or hang out till the 12 is up?

ummm.... I would start leaving at 8 hours when you feel like you need to.... depends on your financial situation too... I would try to work the twelve hours as long as I could...

I'm not understanding why this is a question. Are you saying there is a reason why you think you should stay the 12?

I am salary and get paid the same no matter what. I also am always always early and never take a break.

If your salary and you get what you need to get gone in the eight hours I dont see why you would stay twelve but one the other hand I find comfort in staying busy so If you have a job that you can work the whole twelve and your happy and comfortable i'd do twelve.

If it's salary I would take off after 8 hours if all of my work is done for the day. If my work wasn't done I would feel guilty.

My work is never actually "done" there is always always someone getting arrested so there is always work that will come in and need to be charged.

I would only work the 8 hours than.  If you are getting paid the same for 8 as you are for 12, than why stay the extra 4 hours.

That's a tough one then. I guess I would gauge it from day to day depending on how I feel then. If it's ok'd by the boss though, then I'd be more likely to leave at least an hour or so earlier than normal.

Is it an "all or nothing" situation? I mean- would you have the option to work the 12 hours when you were feeling up to it, and only the 8 when you weren't?
