he's such a rule follower and won't bend them w/o permission. Specifically- if it's the Friday before a holiday, he only lets us leave early if HIS boss tells him we can leave. (sidenote- we're a small dept of 3. We work in one building on campus. All the higher ups are in another building entirely and aren't over here a ton).
O.k., fine, whatever.
We each WFH one day a week. I WFH on Mondays, boss on Fridays. I love this - it's nice to not have him here and on occasion I'll leave a little early. Bad, I know. But... darnit, it's one small perk
He WFH on Monday because he had no heat. Yesterday he tells me that he really wants to WFH on Friday too. It's going to be really COLD tomorrow and he doesn't want to leave his house. But... he needs to ask his boss since he already "used" his WFH day.
OMG dude. Just WFH. Your boss isn't going to care. You're retiring this year anyhow. Really- they aren't going to fire you over this.
I just shake my head thinking "Of COURSE you're going to be anal retentive about this!".
I just looked at his calendar. Darnit- his "WFH" isn't noted tomorrow. Which means he's going to be in the office. WAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!
He's so hands off and it's really not a big deal, but it's just NICE to not have the boss here - KWIM? ANd it's more his "I'm going to ask... I'm not sure" thing that just has me rolling my eyes.
NO! He's a really nice guy! I've worked with him on a project before and am now presently working on something for him - he's super laid back and chill. Seriously - he would NOT care.
