It's half  past 8 in the office
but the lights are still on...
PCs still  running,
coffee machines still buzzing...
and who's at work?
Most of  them??? Take a closer look...
All or most specimens are ??-something  male species of the human race...
Look closer... again all or most of  them are bachelors...
and why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!  
Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them...
Here's what he says... "What's  there 2 do after going home... here we get to surf, AC, phone, food,  coffee.. that is why I am working late... importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!  
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other  off-shore offices.
Bachelors "time-passing" during late hours in the office  just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do...
Now what r the  consequences... read on...
"Working"(for the record only) late hours soon  becomes part of the institute or company culture.
With bosses more than eager  to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food  vouchers and of course good feedback,(oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only  to change..!!).They aren't helping things too... To hell with bosses who don't  understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working"  late!!!
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra  working hours.
So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get  married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family  is... and that's when the problem starts... becoz u start having commitments at  home too.
For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to  become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regulartime... after doing  the same amount of work.
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for  the day are labeled as work-shirkers...
Girls who thankfully always (its  changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it". All  the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not  realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never  realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time.
*So what's the  moral of the story?? *
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
* Never put in extra  time " *unless really needed *"
* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil  your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your  colleagues. There are hundred other things to do in the evening..
Learn  music...
Learn a foreign language...
try a sport... TT,  cricket.........
importantly Get a girl friend or gal friend, take him/her  around town...
* And for heaven's sake net cafe rates have dropped to an  all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.
Take a tip  from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*
Please pass on this  message to all those colleagues And please do it before leaving time, don't stay  back till midnight to
forward this!!!  
 

ITS A TYPICAL INDIAN  MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100%  COMMITMENT ETC.  

PEOPLE WHO  REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME.  SIMPLE.  

To hell with bosses  who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working"  late!!!
