Be careful with this though… leaving earlier than everyone else can carry negative impressions as well. It’s a high wire balance to achieve of coming in and leaving times such that the perception (which is all that matters) isn’t negatively effected.

Good point! My boss’s perception is the only one that matters (in my situation), and he can see what time I got there and should expect me to leave before everyone else. But I’ve also worked at places where your advice applies because coworkers started getting resentful watching me leave 2 hours before them every day- even though I got there 2 hours before them.
