admitting that I went home at five thirty turned out to be kind of a big deal. 但我必须承认准时下班回家仍然是件很重要的事。

I first openly discussed my office hours at the launch of Facebook Women, an in-house resource group. 我最初公开谈论我的办公时间，是在“脸谱网女性”的发起仪式上，这是一项公司内部的活动。

The initial meeting, run by Lori Goler and Facebook's head of engineering, Mike Schroepfer, 第一次会议是由洛里·戈勒和脸谱网的工程主管迈克·施洛普夫主持的，

was open to any Facebook employee, including men. 它面向全体公司员工开放。

During the Q&A, I was asked the (inevitable) question about how I balanced my job and family. 在问答环节，我被（不可避免地）问到，如何平衡工作和家庭。

I talked about leaving work to have dinner with my children and then getting back online after they went to bed. 于是我告诉大家，我按时下班回家和孩子们吃晚饭，哄他们上床睡觉后，又重新回到电脑前工作。

I said that I was sharing my schedule because I wanted to encourage others to personalize their schedules too. 我说之所以会告诉大家我的时间安排，是因为我想鼓励大家也拥有属于自己的时间计划表。

Even though I had planned in advance to discuss this, I felt nervous. 即使我提前为这次讨论做了准备，但还是很紧张。

Years of conditioning had taught me never to suggest that I was doing anything other than giving 100 percent to my job. 多年来的工作环境教会我绝不能提这样的建议：不要100%投入工作，你还要做点别的事。

It was scary to think that someone, even people working for me, might doubt my diligence or dedication. 一想到有人甚至包括我的下属会怀疑我的勤奋或投入程度，我就很害怕。

Fortunately, it didn't happen. 幸运的是，没有出现这种情况。

A few people at Facebook thanked me for mentioning it, but that was it. 脸谱网的一些人甚至因为我提到这一点而感谢我。

A few years later, producer Dyllan McGee interviewed me for her Makers video series. 几年后，制片人迪兰·麦吉为拍摄她的系列视频“创造者”采访了我。

We spoke on a wide range of subjects, including my daily work schedule. 我们海阔天空地聊了很多，包括我的日常工作安排。

The video was posted to the web and was instantly the subject of heated debate. 这段视频被传到网上，立刻成了讨论的热点。
