I think it was Mackem Moo who said he wouldn't work through his dinner break no matter what.
There is actually laws against that sort of thing
Boss expecting you to stay back every night to clear work?

I reckon teachers do this all the time. Work more hours.
But there again, folk on the SMB critisise them for standing up to their terms and conditions. Just like this thread.

I took the job knowing I'd have to regularly work late, it can be annoying buy doesn't bother me too much as I enjoy the work.
I leave when I finish our work, but with it being as said a very reactionary job something can happen at 10 to six and if it does it has to be sorted.
Depends on pay (salary or hourly pay)
Depends on working for free/or pay.
Depends on attitude of company - good company , you'd probably work for free, cos you'll get back in spades down the line. Rubbish company, nothing extra when you are on poor/low hourly pay - it isn't going to happen.

Teachers do the most over-time, without doubt.
The problem in most industries are the complete lack of qualified managers. Anyone gets the job by proving they are really good at a different job - its a total nonsense. In the modern world, most of us are paid by the hour, yet we have a culture of staying to get the work done. No. Either you pay me per hour, in which case I will leave on time, thankyouverymuch, *OR* you pay me per workload/project/deliverable. In which case, when the work is done, I'm out the door or not even coming in the next day.
Qualified manager.

Am ouy the door at half 4 most days. If I stay back an extra couple hours then I leave a couple hours early on friday
Indeed. Can't remember the last time I worked my contracted hours. It's just the job. I don't do "hours" I do "work" and if the work needs doing I have to do it.
That's not my boss saying that, it's just how it is. But I can understand people in other types of jobs might be different.

Qualified?
And that's the beauty of it, I don't pay overtime but do a couple of hours here and there and you get it back in early finishes, flexible with holidays and other time off when you can etc. I can't give money but I can give time.

Yes, you know, own a qualification in management. Letters after my name, the whole works.
There is a choice between academic qualifications (MBA, other masters etc) and professional qualifications (PRINCE2, etc etc).

I charge £50 an hour. I'll work whenever a customer wants me to. I'm going in on Sunday for 2 hours. Wasn't going to but £100 was calling me!
If I was making money for someone else then fuck that. If the work can't be completed on time then that is an intrinsic failing of the management/evil bastard overlords and they need to employ more people rather than squeeze it out of the poor fuckers who toil for them, whilst hanging the constant threat of unemployment over them.

Whats the reasons you have to stop back in a bank for?
Do you work in a high street bank?
I do but not in the branch.
I think it just depends on the type of work. I get paid to deliver things, rather than to be in the office for a set amount of time. Mr B is in software, and he was working till 1am on Wednesday. He doesn't get overtime either. It's a cultural thing in certain industries or jobs I suppose.

Management of people is about behavioural traits... You can sit through all the qualifications you want but still won't have the ability to manage people if you don't have the personality and behaviours to do so (I'm not suggesting you don't).
The condescending tone of your first paragraph is typical of a poor manager
From a "qualified manager".
