Winter is a different story, when workload is cut in half.
So yeah, when a sales guy (or any of our office staff for that matter) does something on a Saturday then books off a Friday before a long weekend in the middle of summer I get annoyed. If you want to do something "by the book" or demand time in lieu of work "on my personal time" then be prepared for me to demand the same when I see you surfing the internet at 2 PM on a Wednesday in the middle of winter, and are getting paid to do it.

And I do agree with this it should go both ways, and I personally have no problem with that,if you are at work you should be working. (Now that all being said I sorta understand what you are saying with the give and take)
