It's almost eight in the evening. The office is buzzing with noise. The lights are on. PCs still running. The eighth batch of coffee is doing the rounds and the boss is in no mood to let you go. Isn't that the story of our lives? There is hardly any 9-5 culture in India and hard work has become synonymous with staying late in office. In the race to excel at work, we usually forget that we are more than what we do for a living. You shouldn't need a reason to wrap up your work and leave the office on time but just in case you do, here are 14:

1. Working hard doesn't mean working late.

Working for long hours doesn't mean commitment, it means stupidity. Always choose quality over quantity!

2. You make your office culture. Not vice versa.

Staying back would only spoil it for both you and the company.
