RE: How cool is your boss?
There is no leeway at my work. We have a schedule to run 365 days a year/ 24 hours a day. You have to take pre-approved leave and there are no "flex" hours. The big boss at my place is a man with integrity, but is old school, so there are not many pats on the back. Many people leave because it can beat you down, but those that stay I believe are rewarded.

My boss is very cool about hunting, and she hunts herself with her family. She totally understands why i never take off until hunting season, and then i take all of my time off spread out in 3 months.

RE: How cool is your boss?
This was my 1st season with this company. I didn’t know how far to push the limits. I was able to get out an extra ½ hr early one day a week thru archery season. And was able to take an extra day off during the rut (at my own expense). But we at least had a pretty good flex schedule so that helped me to still be able to hunt every day, even if in lesser locations.
I’m already stressed out over next season since our company was just bought and the new owners are MUCH less forgiving regarding flex hours and stuff. At least that’s how the policy reads. And I’m moving to a worse location to allow me time after work each day. But, there are unlimited sick days.

My x-boss was pretty cool until I fired myself.
My current boss is not all that bad either. I'm typing this while being in front of the PC has nothing to do with my job afterall.

RE: How cool is your boss?
Mine's pretty cool too. As long as I get my work done he doesn't mind if I slide out of work early once or twice a week. Of course there are other times when I have to go out to "the field" and I stop by "the field" for a few mintues and then hall ass to "the tree"!!!!

RE: How cool is your boss?
My boss is the greatest!! The coolest dude you ever want to meet. He gives me all the time off I want, lets me cut out early and doesn't mind if I hang out here all day, as long as I get my work done.
He'll give me a raise any time I ask and lets me have a car, company credit card the works!!!
He's a big hansom dude too kinda gruff at times and he puts way too may hours in (70-80 per week) but he is as cool as a boss can get.
He gets to sleep with his secretary and never has to worry about a sexual harassment suit.
He's a hunter too!! Sigh..........great guy.

RE: How cool is your boss?
Mine is very good. I take the entire month of Nov off plus the last few days of Oct, with no special permission which is supposed to be required. I've been doing this for so long that I just write it in our vacation book and go! Usually around Sept each year he just asks me when are you taking off....... like it's a given!
