[QUOTE="Star*, post: 308590, member: 4964"] Marg - I have taken your suggestion and done exactly that - thank you. I also did exactly what you are suggesting about the effeciency of everyones time and the last time this was what I considered a non-issue I made a sales report and sent it to him for the nutter and the pooper to fill out. He told me he felt it was a waste of time. I did ask him today if he honestly believed that every time they left the office stating "Have an estimate" if thats where he felt they were really going. He became slightly cross and asked "Why?" I stated with sales figures in hand - "THIS is why.", and then got out the fuel receipts for each month as a cross reference and showed him that their fuel bills were nearly DOUBLE his and yet his sales were nearly DOUBLE theirs - yet they spent more time out of the office than he did. Puzzling. He had no comment. I suggested a board - a dry erase board - they could write in/out time - day - name of estimate - and sold or not - and why so we could follow up later - Pretty standard in any office - He said - BAD idea - he didn't want the sales men to feel "baby sat" - I nodded and said - "No - they have enough to do." - like watching me - he brought up the incident about the woman I supposedly talked to today as she was in the office and do you know that he stood lording over us - as if he would just explode if she didn't leave immediately?? It was rather embarrasing. I told her I had a gift for her but that is all I said. Then he mentioned our 1 hour conversation and I said - "1 hour huh? Gosh how 25 minutes tops gets turned into an hour here is beyond me." Funny - if everyone is out on an estimate how EVER did they know we were here for an hour?" - eeeeescch. I think my plan to work - 8-11 and then just basket B everything for the day and whatever is not done - will have to be done tomorrow - or the next day or the next day is going to have to suffice for now. That leaves me the five hours a day plus 1 hour lunch - no...oh...1/2 and hour to the bank - so I'll have to shoot...need to rethink this. IF I work 8-11 - that's my 15 hours a week Then if I take 1 hour lunch that's 5 hours a week Then 1/2 hr. for the bank x 5....2.50 Then 4.5 hr. a day for (whatever it is that I am doing) 22.50 hrs.- yeah. And if I eat my lunch at my desk and work straight through I should be able to leave every day at 4:00 because - well according to them I have nothing to do anyway. Bully. [/QUOTE]
