This has actually been my experience with most tech support departments and at more than one job. They don't outright SAY that stuff...but they are always watching. Worried that they have to do more or someone else is getting more.
Example: I once had a tech support manager ask my VP (whom I report to), "Sooooo...what hours does Jorrdan actually work? Every time I go to her desk I can't seem to catch her." Translation: Her passive aggressive way of asking or "telling on me". WTF, Jorrdan doesn't work regular hours like me?! QQ
Luckily, I don't give a shit (and my VP doesn't either) and do not report to her or that department. However, I do concern myself with "appearances". Hence, I don't put unprofessional stuff in writing. Lest they have a valid complaint.
Ah well, different business I suppose. I have a general framework of when I should be in the office, but I only get paid for hours I can bill. As long as the company can bill my hours to the client, it doesn't matter so much when I show up or when I leave.
The company environment has always been a key aspect for me. If I have to be around folks for 40-50 hours a week, they have to be a cool bunch of folks or at least we all have to get along well enough. I got enough of the crappy corporate backstabbing environment in the service and I won't do that again.
