      because you aren't here to learn.

      How did such clueless people advance then? Their inability to learn has been a constant point of contention. Clearly, something not true there.

      It's not inability to learn .

      Its not having time to learn because I'm leaving 1.5 hour early everyday for 5 days at a time .

      If you're taking your lunch at 3:30, then really you're only leaving 30 mins early, assuming you work 8-5 with a 1 hour lunch.

      that is correct -

      so make it up - go in 30 mins early! problem solved.

      Hell - you could spend that time reading/learning without the phones generally ringing.
      win/win..

      of course that's still a loser because the company - but anyway...

      Im usually the first one here every morning/ as it is unless im taking my son to school - then im an hour late.

        Perhaps the school has an early morning option?
        Do you punch a clock? If yes, then the boss would know you're there 30 mins early... though you should talk to him first about it -because he might say somethign like - well dude - we don't need you at 7:30, we need you at 430 when clients are calling at the end of the day - but noooo, you're gone at home with your kid - which we get.. and well sorta kinda understand, but don't really, because we are complete controlling jerks who trust no one.

            No punch clocks - It's pretty lax though ,
            also

              So you're a 8-5 shop.. not open outside those hours - if a restaurant has a problem at 7PM, they're just screwed until the next day?

                that's where the On-call comes in.

                          Then we wouldn't have an on call rotation -
                          I.e I would be on call every other week bascially and still still have to do my on call rotation.

                            No - you propose to be oncall on your early weeks, and everyone else splits the other week - at least until you get different child care.

                            are you salary? if you are, you are likely getting screwed.

                                I guess JB doesn't punch one either... Though I don't know how much time he bills direct to his company versus billing to clients...

                                  So you're a 8-5 shop.. not open outside those hours - if a restaurant has a problem at 7PM, they're just screwed until the next day?

                                  that's where the On-call comes in.

                                  Sounds like a solution right there.

                                  Explain?

                                  Take call on your days that you have to leave.

                                  Then we wouldn't have an on call rotation -
                                  I.e I would be on call every other week bascially and still still have to do my on call rotation.

                                  seriously - did you read what you just wrote?

                                  No - you propose to be oncall on your early weeks, and everyone else splits the other week - at least until you get different child care.

                                  are you salary? if you are, you are likely getting screwed.

                                  Yep sure did- thanks for checking though.

                                  Hourly employee - you ask me that every time we talk about my job.

                                  yet you don't punch a clock - uh, what?

                                  I guess JB doesn't punch one either... Though I don't know how much time he bills direct to his company versus billing to clients...

                                  I fill out a time sheet - But no clocking in or out is not a thing.

                                        really I don't see a reason for you to be in the office at all.

                                        get the whole company on a live chat service - tons to choose from, some free some cost.. and get a phone system that allows you to have phones anywhere, have a phone at home - and a client for the phone system on your cell - done. Life is easy.
                                        at least it should be.

                                          yet you don't punch a clock - uh, what?

                                          I guess JB doesn't punch one either... Though I don't know how much time he bills direct to his company versus billing to clients...

                                          I fill out a time sheet - But no clocking in or out is not a thing.

                                          so they trust that, but not your ability to work from home.. /sigh.

                                          They never gave me an answer on working from home on those days.

                                          Where did you get that they don't trust me to work from home?

                                          I've worked from home in the past..

                                          really I don't see a reason for you to be in the office at all.

                                          get the whole company on a live chat service - tons to choose from, some free some cost.. and get a phone system that allows you to have phones anywhere, have a phone at home - and a client for the phone system on your cell - done. Life is easy.
                                          at least it should be.

                                          I don't either, During my interview I even brought Soft Phone that we could use to dial into the PBX and use our extension rather than Using our own cell phone, Didnt go anywhere .
                                          The more I think about it, The love for the work does not out weigh the ridiculous procedures - I get that.
                                          But for the time being, This is what I am doing , It is my Job/career at this time and I'm going to make the most out of it,because This is the only "Real Experience" I have that can be put into a resume.

                                            Generally there isn't. Probably nothing more than management that enjoys the feeling of power they get from controlling peoples' lives and not liking their employees very much.

                                            As an employer, I can tell you, it takes a lot of dislike for people for me to want to spend money to screw with their lives just to make them suffer. They are happier and more productive at home, and cost less.
