My company has tried to get me to stay late, I just refuse.
What do they say?
They ask what needs to occur in order fix an issue and if down time is required it has to be scheduled with the city, typically after hours or on the weekend. If they ask me if I can stay I say no.

I was working last night until 12:30 AM - ug (today's going to be long)
See, from my point of view you should have been able to get some sleep, and show up late, but that's me....
oh, I probably could have. But at the same time I personally wanted to be here to make sure there where no problems first thing in the morning.

My boss is a CPA - no, she can't handle anything IT. I'm a one man IT shop.

So your company isn't accounting for the bus?

theoretically flexible but actually bound to company employers time (as for support): 8:30-18:30. lunch time is 2 hours.
I tend to be a bit of flexible at entrance and exit timing.also if I have to do something "destructive" I use night hours or saturdays, gaining some hours to stay at home during the mon-fri 9/5 frame (I usually reserve the friday afternoon).

I heard 2+ hour lunches were the norm in Spain. How about where you are (is it Italy?) - is 2 hour lunches the norm?

I have quite flexible hours. I am hourly and make OT for anything over 40.
M-Th 9-7
Fr 9-1Never on call, all after hours/weekend work is usually OT, and my boss is super cool about the whole thing. He lets me make up hours after the fact instead of making me use PTO, which is great. Plus he is very technical and can handle anything when I'm not here.

I'm fairly sure everyone on this forum besides me would hate it here - we are a 100% windows shop.

I don't blame you... abusing users is probably the only relief you get.

We are 100% client side Windows - a bit of 'nix and AIX in the server room.

Original point:
I'm pretty flexible here. I am salary and typically my hours are from 8-9 to 4-6, just depending on what's going on. If I stay late for a fire or project stuff, then my boss will comp the time somewhere else for me, such as coming in late or leaving early on another day.
Point that should have been forked off:
Nearly 100% Windows here. There are a few *nix servers and systems here. Owner's daughter still keeps trying to push Apple ("because it is so much easier to user" Yes, but it doesn't support business needs. Shove off.). We keep telling her "no" and "No means no".

@Dashrender sometimes in smaller companies. this is the fact: italian labor law requires companies to give 2 hours OR either give compensation in salary (for you to be eating out of your house) or provide a canteen service (is canteen the right term?).
small companies simply say: take 2 hours and do whatever you want. This is my first time with 2 hours. asways been in the 45'-1h range.
