Thankfully I am in the business of university education, meaning there is no one hovering over my shoulder, keeping track of how much time I spend on campus. As long as I am there for classes and occasional meetings, no one cares where else I might be. I have to do a lot of work "on my own time" but what matters is that I get it done, not how much time I spend doing it. Yet, I have worked in the past in a place where the emphasis was on how much time you spent at work, not how many things you actually got done in that time, and it was hell. I don't understand why people equate long hours with productivity, when so often it is not the case. I usually got all my assigned tasks done before lunch, took an hour lunch, and came back and played games on the internet or read fiction at Project Gutenberg. But I could have been home with my family, cleaning my house, walking the dog, cooking something special, generally doing things I like, instead of sitting in a beige cubicle under the depressing fluorescent lights.

OMG, I'd die :) One of the things that drives me mad is that so many companies put an emphasis on being seen to work long hours - it's not about productivity or what you do at work but who spends the most time there.
