overtime or on time?

I would prefer to stay back to finish my work ,if not my work will pile up. I used to teach in a school so everyday there will be lots of work to mark. If I choose to leave it til the next day, I'm going to have a BIG headache trying to finish marking all the work the children has done.

I'd rather go for overtime because I always believe on this principle, "why wait for tomorrow while you can do it now". Plus, if it's overtime, you'll get additional pay. Also, if you'll get things done before due time, you can consume your free time doing what you want to do. It also makes you more productive in your job. The only barrier that makes me do things undone is stress. SOmetimes, we are not conditioned to do something especially when health matters.

I don't mind staying over-time to finish my work for the day or get ahead! I like to make more money so it's worth it! You're getting paid time and a half for doing the same exact job you were going to do tomorrow at a lesser pay! Unless I had plans and had to be somewhere, then I wouldn't mind at all!

for me it depends, if rendering overtime doesn't harm any of my other plan after office then i'll stay and work. But if something important needs to attend after office, then i'd rather go and finished it the next day.

its better to be on time because it will reflect your good personality to your boss. Doing overtime is also good but it exhausting on the part of the worker. Why not try a simply habit of working early. Its a simply virtue but the consequence is so great. And its very possitive in the eyes of the boss.

I think working overtime can become a very bad habit. Usually when we are younger we are more enthusiastic about our jobs, but as we get a bit mature, we realize that there is more to like than work. I used to live to work when I was married with young kids, but now that I live alone, I work to live.

I would much prefer to finish work at the allotted time, as I imagine most people would. Nevertheless, I hate to leave work unfinished, and there are several aspects of my job that do require completion on the same day. If it is a choice between staying later or leaving the work incomplete, then I would stay and finish the job irrespective of the time.
