I feel for you because this kind of crap goes on everywhere, or so it seems. Was there any kind of documentation on the flex hours? Is it in your contract/employment agreement? If not, the company is really under no obligation to honor the flex hours which just adds to the problem. Do you want to work for a company that can't even keep its word? I am not sure where you live/work but the whole idea of showing up at a specific time is becoming unrealistic due to the fact that commuting these days is so unpredictable. Here in the DC metro area it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours to go 10 miles. My take is that companies should offer a window along the lines of starting between 7 and 8 or 8 and 8:30 etc. If they are going to bitch and moan about 10 minutes then they have bigger issues. Clicks at work suck. They contribute to wasted hours and an unproductive environment. Don't get me wrong, its nice to shoot the shit with your coworkers now and again but in my experience I have seen hours wasted! Come in at 7, "hang out" until 9 or so and then try and get to work. If the managers are doing this how can they bitch about 10 minutes! Again, do you want to work for a company that contradicts itself in such a blatant manner? If your manager and his friend want to micromanage the conversion from ASP to CF tell them to do it themselves and jump ship. I am amazed at the number of people that think micromanaging is productive. You were hired to do a job so they should let you ask questions when necessary. If they need their egos stroked by you asking questions then ask one final question - Can you send my last paycheck to my home address? :-) When a new hire comes aboard, a company should have the equipment, user account, access rights, etc all squared away. I am amazed at how much time is wasted taking care of all these items. The company new why you were hired so there should be a basic understanding of what needs to be setup so you can hit the ground running. Sounds like you are in an environment that isn't very positive, productive, or beneficial for you personally as well as your career. Finally, if you are in the DC area drop me an email off list as we are looking for a solid CF developer. :-) Tango ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:218419 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
