'You know, in this company we don't work long hours, we don't need you to work long hours and we do not like you coming
* at very long hours *in the night.'
for long hours?
Could anyone explain that part? |

| When talking about work, "long hours" and "long days" mean more hours than the typical 8 hours per day. |

Miss D. I prefer, for very long hours in the night . I don't think at is correct.
Perhaps they mean, at very late hours? |
