Monday Morning Coffee, "Staff meeting" , and Email purge are all done\started.
Follow ups from the weekend, and planning the week;Oh ; My team won 8/5 In our Dart Game yesterday (I play league) with the highest MPRs and everyone shot above their average My Sunday was great.
in light of that timing shit last week - you should turn in a time log daily - explaining how much time daily you spend doing different tasks... the question is wither or not to include things like bathroom breaks and water cooler talk, or pad those into one of the other non client billing times, assuming the discussion is in fact non billing.
The whole point being to show that it's your availability that they are paying for, not just the time you are working on billable projects/break-fixes.
Although this encourages all kinds of problems like demanding that he do that all the time, and threatening to not pay for his time in the office, etc. They already know that he is like that at work, and they already don't care. This is aboiut them bullying and trying to steal from him, point blank. This isn't a confused manager who doesn't understand the law, this is a crook trying to pad his wallet because he thinks IT guys are easy to push around (and often, they are.)

Well - the one asshat who thinks he's in charge does - but as Will pointed out - apparently the real boss has stepped up recent and put the fake boss in his place as a non boss - we'll see how long that lasts.

Oh; you missed it?
I talked to his boss, and we came to the conclusion that I'm fine,He can't tell me dick about anything, and He seems to think he's in charge.
and if I ever need to work from home; Tell Supervisor to Fuck Off. and that His boss Said It's fine.Okay, so good deal. Hopefully they are seriously dealing with your "supervisor" because he attempted to get them into a lawsuit. I've had someone pull that on me once. Once. The entire staff walked out that day and the owner literally came running after us apologizing like crazy. They fired the guy on the spot and paid everyone to go home for the day as part of the apology. Because allowing that guy to stay in a supervisor role is just asking for problems now - everyone knows he's up to no good.

Oh yeah, they reminded me and him that he is no longer the "boss" and that what he says doesn't matter.
He's not happy at all.Let's see if they stick to it then.. if he tells you to do something - are you allowed to say - uh, nope bro, you're not my boss.??
as far as "being told what to do" on a working level ; tasks, assignments, etc I can't say no to him . but as far as pay, time off, and Business related requests I can.

Something kinda seems broken there.. but I suppose separation of duties (those you just mentioned) aren't unusual. Still sucks you have to take orders from him.. he's clearly bad in any kind of leadership role there.

This is good, only in that it could be real IT for some solid experience to add to a resume to then use to GTFO.
Shit company is shit.

Well, I would hope not - hopefully he won't be going with you - in fact... that would be a requirement of mine personally - I'd love to, but I only can if supervisor over here isn't part of that new group..
