I work in a small office of 8-10 people. We are all salaried. Every day we are not allowed to go home until our boss dismisses us. Usually at around 8.5-9 hours of work. Does not matter if your work is done you sit there and wait until you are allowed to leave.
This is my first time working in this kind of environment, and it has been bothering me since the first week. My question is this normal for this type of office? Or just my boss on a power trip?
