where i used to work, we had time cards with the punch machine, and our manager's desk was in the vicinity of it so she's always here when someone came in / left. therefore we were always forced to say "bye."

What kind of job are you talking about?
In most professional jobs, people leave pretty much when they want, within limits, and do not need to inform their boss that they're leaving.
But in a customer service job or one with real-time service, it would be a good idea. Since you mention that there's a supervisor, it sounds like its a non-professional type job and informing the boss that you're leaving would be wise.

well, it really depends. - If everybody is leaving at 3pm anyways, why say it?
But if it is in the middle of the day, and you boss might forget it, just say bye. It's also more polite, just quick to step by and say 'have a nice day' or something like that

Yeah, I think it kind of depends on what you're doing. I work at UPS and after they stop the conveyer belts at the end of my shift I get the rest of my boxes loaded in and then clean up the truck and close the door. I usually find my supervisor after that to check if anyone else needs help getting their irregular/over 70's loaded. (We aren't allowed to lift packages over 70 pounds by ourselves because of safety and what not)
So, in my case I do go to my supervisor first. Who knows if you need to wherever you work.

Definitely not professional. I work at Walgreens (though in my experience it's the craptacular jobs that try to own you).
I guess it's because I hate my job, my managers & I'm quitting in a few weeks to go back to school that I personally don't find it rude..
It could also be due to the fact that @ my job, saying 'bye' is synonymous with the response "Hey, can you do me a favour real fast before you go?" *insert that cheesy smile my manager gives me that makes me wanna smash his face in with a bat*

As has been said, it can clearly depend on the type of job that you have.
In many cases, if you work a set shift schedule and you are scheduled to get off of work at a specific time, then it's understood that you'll just leave when your shift is over. However, if you work at a place where the boss may request that you work overtime, or that you need to check in with the incoming shift people, then it's generally expected that you'll let someone know that you're on your way out and "check out".
Where I work I have a pretty autonomous job - so I generally come and go as I need to to perform my job. I don't need to check in with my supervisor.

I do, unless my supervisors have already left. I'd say you should give them the heads up that your shift is over and you're leaving.Starseed said:
