How complex it is for some of our peers to leave the office, to tear themselves away from their computers at acceptable times.
How exhilarating for these zealous colleagues, to be the last to leave the open space, to extinguish the lamp and to plunge the place into darkness.
This follower of presenteeism never really leaves the company, even when he crosses the threshold!
