I fondly remember times when at one company CTO was doing round the dev section at 4:50pm and saying everyone close their machines. Go home or to pub, it's an order.

Once I sent an email at 5:45pm as I forgot to say something earlier about the project. I didn't get a response and in the morning got told off that I should never send an email outside of working hours, unless it is a personal matter that cannot wait.

Couple of years later the owners exited and new management replaced everyone with workers from consultancy of theirs. Company no longer exists.
