First off, I'm 3 hours ahead of you. I posted that at 4:48 PM my time.

2nd - I don't have set hours. Engineering staff in the vast majority of
high-tech companies aren't told when they need to be there, for how
long, or how late they need to stay. I haven't had to worry about that
since I was a bench technician punching a time clock in the 1980s. It's
not uncommon for me - or anyone of the engineering staff here - to take
off in the afternoon or come in later in the morning becasue they had an
errand to run.

This is how I know you were never more than a bench technician. If you
had any _real_ engineering experience, you'd know the term "working
hours" for engineering staff is nebulous at best. Hell, your "career" is
in the backyard of companies that pioneered the "work-life balance"
ethos, and you claim engineering staff are locked into rigid office hours?

3rd, I spent most of friday writing a rationale to defend suggested
changes to an ANSI Hazardous Location Standard, for a technical working
group I'm a member of. I finished it a little early. I could have stayed
home to do or maybe finished it up this weekend if I wanted to. It's a
luxury/perk I have as the most senior individual in my department and
the title of "principle engineer".

My wife who had been a IT manager/account’s definitely worked all sorts of
hours, occasionally over the weekend with pizza/beer delivery paid for by
her work, and likewise sorted out problems when we were away in Australia,
so occasionally going home “early” or coming in late so not a problem!

  Exactly. My company is global with offices in India and Belgium. recently I had to catch a 3AM my time meeting with PESO. Another time I was up around the same time for a CENELC Working Group meting in Brussels.
Just today, my boss sent me a message saying he was working from home - no reason given, he just decided not to drive in. I've done the same.
