For an IT guy doing non-support related development? Or for IT folks who need to double as a "help-desk" /and/ do development? For the latter I agree with the normal 9-5 (provided your "customer" base is in your time zone). The former, I say who cares what time you leave and come in? As long as you are a responsible adult/employee and make every effort to be in during normal business hours, it shouldn't matter as long as you are doing 35-45 hours a week. Some weeks you come in under 40, some over. As long as the employer is getting an avg of 40.
My old and new jobs both are/were very flexible, and I think that is one of the things that I love about the job I do. For the record, I work from 8-4:30 most days, and take the late bus on those days where I know it is imperative that I stay to get the current project out the door. About the lunch hour difference, I definitely consider lunch to be on the employee's "own time" and not part of the working day. Of course, that is why I tend to eat and work at lunch (leftovers rock). My coworkers think I'm crazy, but why spend an hour eating and not getting paid when I can spend that same hour at home with my family? Why do you ask?

So in your opinion/experience what are "normal working hours" (for salaried folks): 1) Nine-to-Five (what a way to make a living). 2) Nine-to-Six (because your lunch hour isn't working and you need eight hours of work in a day). Just curious.
