I'm calling BS on the Quora guy's statement that Google offices typically run to 8pm. They do not, by a longshot. The typical schedule was 9-6.
Now, # hours a week is a different question. Just because people leave a 6 or whatever, they often come back online at night, or work some more on weekends. That was very common.
And your last point, I honestly can't put together how you think my statement about committing code had anything to do with # of hours.
You're so focused on the time people leave the office, I can't tell if you're arguing that 50 hour weeks at Google is abnormal.
That answer was upvoted by multiple Google employees/former employees.
>Look, at the end of the day it's about getting shit done and COMMITTING CODE.
Are you suggesting that working long hours equals more and better results? There's a stack of research to contradict you if that's your position.
