The Edge: Do you leave work at 5p or do you start to prepare to leave at 5p?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A TikTok video continues to spark debate about work expectations. User @therealsamgeller shared a skit of an employee saying goodbye to their boss, to which they responded “5:00, right on the dot. I just love your work-life balance.” When the fictional employee replied, “The work day ends at 5,” the boss replied, “We finish work at 5.”

The scenario has people split on whether you leave at the exact time your shift ends, or is that when you should start wrapping up?
