question

is it just [company name censored to protect the innocent i.e. me], or is it the norm in all singaporean workplaces that going home at the time you are told it is ok to go home when you sign up for the job is like a cardinal sin? i waltz out of the office promptly and without guilt at 5:30 every day because i can't give a flying fritsch about anything to do with this job, and there are definitely stares and black looks. every day. i just don't get it. not that it doesn't afford me barrelfuls of glee to leave everyone else pounding desperately on their keyboards as i depart triumphantly each evening.
