This thread got me fired up!
I'm a salaried employee, and I often have to travel for work, so I don't punch a clock. The only people who need to be concerned w/ my time are the ones who write my check. It drives me insane when there are hourly people who see me leave and say "must be nice"
First of all, I WORKED HARD to get where I am, and if you weren't so busy drinking behind the bleachers in high school, then maybe you could have a better job.
Second of all, it's not "nice" to get up when it's still dark b/c I have to drive three hours -for work, do my thing for a few hours and drive home - in traffic.
The other thing that drives me crazy is a boss who says do this project......You turn it in and they say, oh, um, I wanted you to do it differently.....WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE I STARTED. I did not get a degree in mind reading!
Whew, I feel better now.
