Hi, I am a first year university student in Computer Engineering doing my first Co-op term. For those of you who dont know what it is, its basically alternating 4 months university 4 months job 4 months university 4 months job. I am a software developer for a company and this is my very first job. Its been 3 months almost since ive been working..I started going to a gym since this month...one of my managers watches movies all day long and takes 2 hour breaks...I am sitting at my cubicle programming all day 10 am to 4 pm and at 4 pm i decide to go for a 30 minute gym workout becuz i had no lunch or any break and my thighs were numb from sitting....so I go for a gym workout near end of day and my coworker calls me over once everyone leaves and tells me people are talking about me going to gym and it has reached management....change your timings to near lunch time so 12 to 1 pm instead of 3 or 4 pm......

I am really confused can someone with experience help me? I dont get whats going on...I am the first person in the office and the last to leave..I come there 6 am or 7 am and leave 4 or 5 pm when everyone else comes 9:30 and leaves 5 pm...and they take 1-2 hour breaks when I dont...What is the issue or what is going on exactly?

You have to kiss butt not work hard. That is how corporate America works. If hard work mattered I would have been running a company by now. But a few years ago I finally got smart and started working smart. Don't be Tue best but don't be the worst. Work hard enough to achieve that and only kiss as much butt as you want. I moved up as high as I wanted to so now I just coast through and ignore everybody. I leave and take no work home nor do I care to. I'll let others get promoted to those positions. So just figure out what you want and work smart to achieve that
