t's 5 o'clock and it's decision time. You've done a good day's work and yet there's more to do before going home. What do you do?
You could stay another hour or two and finish what's left of the in-tray, or that outstanding report, or all those other jobs you have been meaning to get round to. Does staying late mean you are loyal, showing commitment, and earning your pay? Or does it mean you are inefficient, poor at prioritising, and that you got caught up in the latest crisis?
On the other hand, you could leave work now and get home at a reasonable time. If you leave on time, are you a clock watcher, not a team player and look like you are skiving? Or are you highly organised, focussed on the important tasks, and can balance the demands of work and home -- an example to us all?
