I have a co worker whose timings to work are,

Mon: 10 am - 4.00 pm 1-1/2 hrs break

Tues: 10:00 - 3.30 2 hrs break

Wed: 10.15 - 12.45 n just left

Thru: 9.30 - 4:00 with 1-1/2 hrs break

Our boss is not around and also we have little work right now...but is this right that if you dotn have much to do you just

leave? Should I bring this to someones notice?

We dont have a timeout card, and also we are of same job levels..at work.

The worse is that me n others come n stay 9-5 even when we are not piled with nay work right now...wth do u think?

Sounds like me - on a good day. I only show up at the office for meetings and to drop in on coworkers and chat with them, so they remember who I am. There are a couple reasons for this - severe insomnia and unbearable rush-hour traffic. What no one else sees is what happens when I get home - which is usually somewhere between 3:00 and 4:00 pm. I pull out my laptop, start working, have a brief break for dinner, and more often than not, I keep working until after dawn. My boss judges me by how much work I get done, not how many hours I'm sitting at my desk.

If your boss has no way of knowing how much a person is accomplishing, except by observing whether they are at their desk (and apparently your boss isn't even doing that), then you have a much bigger problem than one lazy coworker. If there's little or no work for you to do, that's another sign of trouble. If you want to be outstanding at what you do and be recognized for it, then you need to have a lot of work that is challenging but not impossible to do, do it well, and be recognized for it. What difference does it make if you're sitting at your desk doing nothing, and your coworker is sitting at home doing nothing. Maybe that person is doing charitable work and is actually contributing more than you.

Bottom line - the problem is with the organization, not the boss or the coworker. You can either enjoy short days yourself, or go to somewhere where you can live up to your potential.

Leave it alone! You seem to be jealous. If there is not any work to do, you should leave too! She is the smart one!

But if she was leaving early and not doing her work and making more work for you, then definitely talk to the boss.
