I really appreciate the feeling that they trust me enough to manage my time and appointments effectively - it sounds like such a simple thing, but so many jobs are really strict about it. I've always thought if they don't think I'm capable of basic things like working 40 hours a week and showing up for meetings without supervision I don't think they should have hired me in the first place!Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-76201097390829058702014-06-25T19:53:09.552-07:002014-06-25T19:53:09.552-07:00Love having a great boss!

I do not technically have a flexible work schedule (8-5) but I work quite a bit of overtime and am a salaried employee plus my boss is AWESOME so she approved me coming in late once or twice a week so I can ride early and beat the heat. It really does make life easier, doesn't it?MostlyHarmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865756625483953737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-85390283401453770492014-06-24T11:56:50.648-07:002014-06-24T11:56:50.648-07:00That's great and so important!

In addition to being able to come and go as I please, he also will sometimes tell me to "Go ride your horse or something." I appreciate it a lot, especially as I consider moving up the career ladder - the next place needs to be just as flexible.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-27845851833454112112014-06-24T10:51:32.803-07:002014-06-24T10:51:32.803-07:00I'm lucky my meetings are always in the mornin...I'm lucky my meetings are always in the mornings!Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-52062687130409868342014-06-24T10:47:05.085-07:002014-06-24T10:47:05.085-07:00My last job was like that- I hated having to use a...My last job was like that- I hated having to use a vacation day for a vet/farrier appt.

Probably because we have to have a lot of different people from different jobs to meet at the same time. <br />Lucky you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168070368360018750noreply@blogger.com
