Like, the full remainder of the day, until 5-6pm? I like your approach if the company in onboard and accepts that it means I might not be reachable for the same amount of hours during the day.
Not working but having to be reachable doesn't count either
Up to around 4:30 or 5pm. I'll rarely if ever stay online after that unless I'm actively pairing or trying to help someone.
I get what you're saying, though I don't mind being around and reachable. The company expects my time around similar hours to other engineers, so I'm not changing that deal. For me personally, extra hours starting at the buttcrack of dawn is worth it in terms of stress relief and feeling accomplishment. Everyone's different, and that's a good thing because if everyone did what I do then the positive effects would be totally nullified.
Granted, yes, I would be glad to always sign off around 2pm. Maybe this is something I should negotiate with my next company someday.
