(Sorry I can't input Chinese in the lab). I have been working in this lab for 4 years. Before my baby was born, I usually worked from 8:30am to 6:00pm, and take care of some minor stuff for a few hours during the weekend. During the last two months of my pregnancy, and after I came back from the maternity leave in mid April, I started coming in late (9:30am to 10:00am) and leave early (5:15pm to 5:30pm). My baby does not sleep very well during the night and I naturally make up for lost sleep in
My boss is a very polite person, I don't know if he is actually unhappy but just does not say anything.

it's better to be safe than sorry. Try to be professional and put up at least 8 solid hr working everyday.

your boss is nice, that's good. but you can't take it for granted. This applies in both academia and industry jobs.

try to talk with your boss saying because of your baby, you sometimes might need "flexible" working time. Don't say you work/want to word fewer hours... .but guarantee you will complete the workload.

Thanks. I always joked that I might be spoiled in this lab :-)

Thanks a lot for your input! I am a postdoc now, but will become a "research scientist" in September. My boss already agreed to this to help with my EB-1b application.

I would say: as long as your boss don't care, then nobody should care! As long as you keep your work rolling and getting progress, you are doing a good job! If your boss is really not happy, he would let you know. The technician next door maybe just think too much. Remember you are not a slave. You also have a LIFE. So don't be too hard on yourself.

Make sense! Maybe I should transfer this post to "faculty" board to see how they react.
exactly, I wouldn't rely my job on the fact that my boss is nice so that I can work less than my peer although I'm equally or more productive. As I said before, be professional, put up solid 8 hr per day so that other people can't say anything about my work ethics.
