You hit the nail on the head Aeryn Send a noteboard - 13/01/2014 05:39:46 PM

View original postThis seems, from the size of your group, to be one of two things: one or more of the partners has ambitions and/or an ego, and wants to exert more control, or there is a problem with one or two of the associates taking advantage and stretching the flex as far as it will go, counting on the atmosphere of goodwill among their coworkers/colleagues to allow them to get away with it. If the latter case, maybe you should ask someone responsible for these policies if there is some sort of problem or trend they are meant to rectify.


View original postClarifying the expectations of the partners and associates in regard to attendance and remuneration (of which vacation time is a form), respectively might help find a way to preempt friction arising as a result of casual and loosely outlined policies. Of course, if it is a problem with one or more of the bosses getting a big head, you're probably stuck.

The ego/ambition of a single partner is right on. Ironically, he is also the least responsible person in terms of being on time, taking excessive time off, etc. It's completely a control issue for him.

This stuff made me miss working in a company with an HR department Aeryn - 12/01/2014 06:44:22 PM 608 Views
I personally find HR departments a waste (but that's another issue). Palatine - 13/01/2014 04:41:29 PM 829 Views
They would be reasonable if you were an idiot in a nanny state type job. Tom - 12/01/2014 07:28:41 PM 656 Views

I think a lot depends on what's going on with personnel issues. Cannoli - 13/01/2014 04:26:04 AM 759 Views

Honestly, they sound pretty reasonable. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/01/2014 04:30:58 AM 233 Views
You're not overreacting. Sareitha Sedai - 13/01/2014 03:00:02 PM 630 Views
flexibility should be a two way street random thoughts - 13/01/2014 04:22:24 PM 524 Views
Yep, pretty restrictive. That just shows once again that money isn't everything ironclad - 13/01/2014 04:27:39 PM 641 Views
I wish they asked... Aeryn - 13/01/2014 07:54:58 PM 582 Views
Aren't you kind of in the wrong line of work for that? *NM* Legolas - 13/01/2014 08:07:40 PM 229 Views
Well, perhaps. jh - 13/01/2014 05:00:46 PM 566 Views
A lot does indeed depend on the reason for the changes. Legolas - 13/01/2014 08:28:23 PM 650 Views
Please correct me if I am incorrect, but don't you work in finance or a related field? Stephen - 14/01/2014 11:45:15 PM 610 Views
