<upper managment that we are referring to and saw first hand the "come in 15 minutes late and leave 15 mintues early" mentality>

I think that's relative to individual experience.

As I say, I was a shift worker making cans for Crown Cork and Seal while I was in college part time. I also held various other jobs punching a clock and I was a foreman at an electronics plant...foremen usually get in earlier and work through breaks and past the time the hourly worker goes home.

As a manager, I was in charge of Communications....PBXs, Tie Lines, T-1s,....everything down to the programming and the sets.

My experience was that I was on call 24 hours a day if there was a problem. I vividly remember coming in in the middle of the night and one time when the starter at the golf course told me as I was putting for a birdie to card a sub-80 round that there was a emergency message requiring me to get to the office ASAP.

It was a Sunday, and I had to abandon plans I made to spend the day with the family. Topping it off, I missed the putt.

As a manager, I was on salary. I received no compensation for work like this. So I think your observation is too general. Perhaps you noticed me coming in 15 minutes late on Monday, but perhaps I had just spent the day there on Sunday.
