    Boys,

    Starting from me. Current company that I started, only few weeks..,
    If developers don't stay at least upto 7-8 PM, CEO is not going to be happy. Day is starting at 8AM (not flexible)
    AS FAR AS I KNOW.

    Is this common in IT? :frown:

    the fuck mate? maximum 8 hours and if you work after that they have to pay you overtime.

    Executive unta OT gewanne naa bn...SE watenne executive category ekata :yes:

    To answer the OP's question, No...this is not common..i mean for a ceo to expect you to stay until 7,8 even if there's no work, then that's not somethinf happening in everywhere...as a matter of fact, our ceo doesn't even know about our work times and stuff. Also the fixed 8 AM work start time is also not common..usually there's flexible time, or a grace time period to start work, like from 8-10 etc.

    But it is very common to expect long hours of work...you can't come at 8 and leave at 5 in a typical software company..the work is stressful and you face unexpeted issues most of the times..so you have to work long hours to catch up with the estimations..

    Where I have worked we usually stay around 9 hours a day, 8 for working and 1 hour for lunch.
    Usually start at 8 or 9 and leave at 5 or 6PM.
    When there are release pressure we have work evenings and weekends, that's maybe dozen time a year.

    It's difficult to attract/retain talent if the employees are not happy

    WTF you have to work around 12 hours per day. as per my knowledge, it is called modern slavery

    the fuck mate? maximum 8 hours and if you work after that they have to pay you overtime.
