This happened to me on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving when I was in college. I was a receptionist and my hours were 12-6 (I spilt it with another gal who worked 6-12). So by the time I start at noon 3/4 of the builiding has left. By about one when my supervisior leaves there are four people left, the CEO and CFO being two of them. My supervisior tells me just stay until the CEO leaves then shut off the switchboard and head out.
So I wait and I wait and I wait. By 3 it's just the CFO and the CEO. And the phone has not rung for at least an hour. Wait some more. The lobby area was seperate from the rest of the office so I'm out there totally by myself bored out of my mind. Wait some more. Finally at 5:50 the CEO and CFO emmerge. And the CEO says "Oh you should have left hours ago"
It seems this sort of thing happens to me just about every darned time. Ugh.
