> The idea of not leaving before the boss leaves is weird to me. I get higher pay and more stock options, why should I be leaving early when my team is working their butt's off?

For two reasons:

- You get higher higher pay because hopefully you are more useful to your company than the other people in your team.

- You are probably forcing your team to work longer than they would if you left before them.

As I pointed out in another post. The average number of hours worked is barely more than 40 so I don't think people feel pressured. And related to that, we encourage people to use their vacation time.
