How often do you have to stay at work after your scheduled/expected ending time to complete your work?

Five years ago, a Front Page Quick Poll asked VINners about the likelihood of leaving work on time. This week, that poll is back.  Have things changed for you?

Last week's Quick Poll involved a dive into history -- U.S. history that is. Juneteenth celebrates a significant moment in U.S. history but isn't a widely known holiday. Roughly 30% of the 2300+ VINners responding said they're aware of the date but are fuzzy on the details. What do you know about Juneteenth? Visit the Quick Poll Archives to read the full results and to take this and other polls. Visit the Quick Poll Archives to read the full results and to take this poll and others.
