Of course, if you work less, your bonus will be lower and promotions may be less forthcoming. Given my qualifications and salary expectations, I had a really hard time finding a job where regular work weeks where less than, say, 60 hours.
My boss is fine with flex time same with the people on my "team" but it's just one of those things where people precieve you to put in less time when you leave earlier then them like they think "i'm still working cause i do more than him, must be nice to leave early every day". I won't put in 60 every week, i'll be there as long as i need to do my work but i like having a life even if i make less or get promoted less. I work to live not live to work.
