[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. I think the ship has sailed for this year, but I need to let Boss know that I feel my responsibilities have diminished since I returned.

Part of the problem is that I had to shift my hours for daycare purposes. It's not good for me at work, because I leave an hour before the other high performers, and it's not good at home because the baby goes to sleep within an hour of getting home. I can't win in either arena. [/quote]

No. The ship has not sailed. THAT ship has sailed. Get on another boat. Find a new complimentary conference and tell your boss that is the one you will be attending. You don't want to be a jerk, but don't ask. Be affirmative and treat it as a fait accompli.  Because this keeps you sharp and in the loop in anticipation of next year when boss need not predict your needs and adds value because you'll be bringing something new to the office and next year's event. Since you're treating it as a done deal in a nice way, there's no invitation for "no".

As for the change in hours, part of the problem is how you view it. If you can figure out a way to openly treat it as an asset, everyone else will too. People are lazy. They like to do what they're told. They just don't like being told what to do. Figure out a way to oblige them. [/quote]
