How do people stay late at work?

My first job after uni finished at 16:30, then the next job finished at 17:00 and I really noticed the shorter evenings. Since then all jobs have finished at 17:30 which is even worse.

When I saw the working hours of my current job I thought oh no not another 17:30 finish. On my first day it got to 17:30 and nobody seemed to leave their desks and I was wondering why are you all still here.

I m pretty much the only one who leaves at 17:30 on the dot, I am so ready to go home by then. In fact I m ready to go home when I leave my house in the morning.

I find 17:30 too late to finish work for my liking yet other people stay much later, how do they do it?

    I sometimes have a shorter day and sometimes I work until19:00. You just have to plan your day accordingly, and get enough sleep, or you need a new job.... I like mine, and I find myself more productive if I stay and finish my work, as opposed to taking it home (I'm a teacher - there's always more work to do).

    maybe their classes are easier than yours or maybe they don't have to work so hard at them because they know the subject matter so their brain doesn't get as weary as yours does on a specific subject.

    When people do 2 jobs usually they pick one hard one and one easy one to balance them out, otherwise it's a real brain drain.

    It doesn't really change anything, but a trick that I have found to make my day feel shorter is to move my lunch break to a later time instead of right in the middle of my day.

    It really depends on what time they arrived in the morning, how long their lunch break was and also their workload.

    I usually arrive between 8.15 am and 8.30 am, some of my colleagues would arrive at 11 am. I would leave at 4.30 pm and some of them would still be there at 6 pm.

    They do not have proper work-plan to complete the job during time frame which is suppose to set early in the morning!

    They are flexible with a much better work ethic than you.
