Recently, was talking to someone about my experiences managing a team in an IT firm. The established culture was to come at around 11 and then work late, till past midnight. I showed up at 8.30 am, cajoled, argued but nothing worked to change that culture. A few days folks did turn up early, and finished early, but somehow it didn't continue. And a few others who wanted to leave early couldn't because as you said, they needed support from others to finish. This was a long time ago, not sure if things are the same but would be surprised if they are not. We spoke about this because someone else was having the same issues and was perplexed as to how to handle it. Sruthi
