Yep, I am honest with them and they still hate it. But I am in the top 3% overall in the company in terms of performance out of 400+ others that are in the same position so they can deal with it or I will go make $$$ elsewhere. [8D] I am in sales, so it prevents me from taking time off at certain times, as I need to hit a quota every month. If I plan extended vacations ( more than just a 3 day weekend) I plan it for the beginning of the month unless I get way ahead of where I need to be in sales for the month then I take more days off. I often earn paid hunting days off as part of performance contests/bonuses.
