Re: Working later than the boss

["Julie Stickler" <jstickler -at- gmail -dot- com>]

My reading of the situation is the boss is hinting that someone in the
department should start doing something that the manager is not
willing to do themselves (stay until COB).  Personally, if I were a
manager I would be uncomfortable asking someone who worked under me
(and who possibly, but not necessarily, was making less money than me)
to do something that I was unwilling to do myself.  And I suspect that
may be what is irritating Anonymous.

Most of us can tell when our manager is working off hours.  We see the
time stamp on the e-mail sent early in the morning or late in the
evening.  We know if they are managing people in other time zones or
not.  But Anonymous didn't mention any of those factors.   What she
*does* say is that she has management permission to work 8-4:30, and
would like to stick to that schedule due to family obligations.  I
don't think that is an unreasonable request.
