[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 367183, member: 3907"] Suz, it sounds to me like the Grande Fromage at your company prefers a later schedule, and so he's imposing that on everyone regardless of what works best for them. Is he the sort who believes that you can't be working unless he can [I]see [/I]you working? I've dealt with that sort before. My strategy is to negotiate clear deliverables and timelines, and make sure that the boss has no input into how--or when--I do the actual work. As long as I produce the work on time and up to the standard, they have no argument. I wonder if that might work for you as well. It could be a test case of sorts. If he realizes that the department functions more efficiently and it improves operations, saves money, or whatever the most important corporate goal is, then maybe he'll bend. [/QUOTE]
