Job woes: waiting for 5:00

I'm grateful that I have a job, doing something I am competent to do, and sometimes even enjoy doing. My job - or, more accurately, one facet of it - causes me some mental and emotional pain. There is a pervasive attitude, mostly on the part of the CFO, that if the doors are open, we should all be there, regardless of the amount of work that needs doing. Leaving early is discouraged (though that doesn't apply to him...long story).
