HYPOTHETICAL... if you were to escape from work today...

Yes, we all know you're the CEO/CFO/CTO and can walk out anytime you like, but we don't care...

So for the others of you stuck in the office 'till 2:30-5:00, what have you schemed up (but likely won't execute for fear of TERMINATION) ??


I'm thinking long bathroom break @ 1:45, pre-marked out-to-lunch notice @ 2, secretary logs me out and lights off @ 3:30. Should get me out of here in 5 minutes *crosses fingers*


headed to the city of sin, baby...
 
I work for the government. I'd just leave without telling anyone and continue billing time till 5:00. If my timesheet says I was here till 5:00, I must have been, right?

I'm really not kidding, either, that'd be the best way to do it.
 
Since this is hypothetical, I'd jump out of a window and grab on to a helicopter ladder, and fly away.
 
Kill my friend and coworker across from me with my knife, then scream that I have a bomb as I run after people with my knife, towards the window. Right before I jump out the window I'd grab someone and use her to break my fall when I hit the ground. Then I'd proceed to bust into a taxi, kill the driver, then drive the taxi off a bridge into the river, whereby I would climb out, swim to the bank, and dissappear into the woods.
 
You're high enough up to have a secretary, and yet people will care if you leave early? I call BS.

I'm just a lowly software engineer, but I could leave right now if I want. As long as I put in somewhere around 40 hours a week and get all of my work done, nobody cares when I get here (10:30 this morning) or when I leave.
 
i would turn off my computer, forward the phones, turn the lights off and then lock the door on the way out.

Just myself and co-worker today... i could think of a thousand excuses to leave early... but i am busy writing policies today!
 
i would just leave. The office is so dead nobody would notice for at least a week as long as my office light was on.

You are supposed to give a HYPOTHETICAL example.

ehh... the point was to dodge a 2:30 meeting. i'm just pissed @ the remediation team that insisted we needed to have a meeting that late, the friday before the long weekend.


But mission failed, not gonna happen 🙁


Ah... and the "secretary" is shared by myself and 3 other project leads - she does all our scheduling but we field our own calls. We're pretty close, though, which is why I would be able to ask her to do that (and have before 😱 )

Everyone in the office is wondering why I'm laughing so hard. It's because of your post 😀

^^ Thankfully Nagios would tell me if there's a problem, and since I have my cell and pda with me pretty much all the time, it shouldn't be a problem. Nagios is my friend. I :heart: Nagios 😀
 
I have my own small business and work out of my home. I can escape work any time I like, but then again, I can never really escape work. I guess I could just quit thinking about anything work related. Does that qualify?
