[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 308588, member: 1991"] Keep a detailed diary. DON'T keep the diary on your work computer, keep it on your person at all times and transcribe it at home. I had to tell this to easy child 2/difficult child 2 when she first began having problems like this with the new store manager two months ago. Last Friday they sacked her. On her last day before her (previously approved) leave to go get married. She's been too busy with wedding plans to deal with the dismissal issues. They're trying to make it look like redundancy (and because of how they do their bookkeeping, she probably doesn't qualify for a redundancy payout). But they had tipped their hand early enough, for her to begin her diary of problems. She didn't write anything down at work, she would write it all into her computer when she got home each day. At first she tried "work to regulations" which is always worth a try. That means ALL requests for you to help someone get referred to the boss, they have to ask him for permission to bother you with their requests. Next time you get called in on the carpet, have your diary ready to show him (or better still, keep a sheet on how much work outside your own duties you are asked to do). Give him a simple list, like a spreadsheet. Your office nutter sounds like he considers himself a freelance efficiency expert. I would also ask the boss to apply the same restricitons (on only doing your own job and all your own job) to everyone else. Present your written notes and suggest that this was a really good idea of his, to quantitatively measure office efficiency. For everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
