Pre-Womenomics Workplace Scenario

You’re sitting in your office after a long day of work and somehow you managed to get everything done, and done well. You’re tired, hungry, and just aching to go home. But you can’t: your boss is still there, and to leave while she (or he) is still sitting in the office feels like some sort offoul that could get you thrown out of the game—because you are play­ing by someone else’s rules. So you sit around, wasting time, growing more exhausted, staring blankly at your computer screen until the boss takes off. Maybe you get a “Oh, you’re still here?" from your boss. Maybe not.
