Anything over 60 is too much. I will do it on occasion if it calls for it. But 50 is perfect for my liking and life.

They voted three times. He just lost once.

Joffrey comes to mind

I feel like I’m a good dad. I’m on my own. His mom took off without warning and ruined her relationship with him. I have been his only safety for a decade. She’s around, but doesn’t give a shit about anything that matters to him.

Everything else, I try to be a decent person. I don’t take what isn’t mine and try to be whatever my mouth says. I don’t really think there is much more to being “good”.

Attendance is not any reason. You are literally hired for attending. If you cannot be consistent how can you expect to be valuable?

Wow. You sound really jaded. That cooperative work equates to some kind of negative. In fact you sound like a teenager that has not fully formed their emotions. I’m telling you how it comes off and what are the consequences from an upper management perspective. Since I sit in on meetings from a multi-billion company with them, maybe hear it out. Or don’t. It’s really up to you if you think I’m out to get you from telling you what happens in today’s business world.

Do I wish we could all take every single day we want and not work 50 hours a week and do what my boss says? Yes. But I am not more in control of those strings than anyone else here and just play the game just like everyone else.

Go ahead. That sounds like a threat and I wouldn’t trust you. My boss wouldn’t trust you either. Go find that other job. I’m not your mother.

I don’t find that as a professional attitude. It is not a team attitude as well. I understand there are certain events that cannot be missed and I would work with my employees to accommodate.

However, that attitude never lasts. Anywhere I have ever managed or been an employee. It is a roadblock to promotion or worse. And you can have the attitude “that’s not my problem”. But remember that next time you have an issue you bring to your boss and they say “it’s not my problem”. They are people too that report to supervisors.

You will also be without a job. Requests can be honored if they are timely and follow the rules but everyone can’t be off before forth of July or Christmas. There’s usually a process to be fair to others and the business.
