Leaving your office or logging out just a few minutes before you complete your daily quota of 8 or 9 hours is not a crime.
It s something that is common and widely accepted in office spaces, as long as the work allotted is completed in time.
But recently, a rather shocking outcome of leaving office early has been reported from Japan.
A number of staff members from the Funabashi City Board of Education in the Chiba Prefecture were punished with pay cuts for leaving office just two minutes early, according to reports.
