[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone.  The reason I don't want to do the daily report is that he doesn't really understand how long it actually takes to get various things done (agreed by everyone at work) so I'm afraid it will be just another thing for him to use to attack me.  However, I now agree that I'm not really in a position to refuse his request.  [/quote]

I agree with the advice you are getting and would add that it is HARD to rebuild trust, so you need to see this process as lengthy and not get impatient.

You've said twice that the case is complicated and its complexities are hard to communicate. You need to get over this and stop thinking in this way, because I'm sure that attiude is showing in your reports and discussions with your boss and it's setting you up in a vicious circle (he's thinking 'you're whining and slacking,' and you're playing right into that thought process 'it's really complicated...')

Your reports will need to be at a very granular level to SHOW the complexity. Good news for you, these reports could be a great way to SHOW the nuances of the case without actually explaining. So, if I were you, I'd write out:

30 minutes - interview X. X asked about X, Y, Z. explained X as follows. responded to Z as follows.
1 hour, 15 minutes - researched Y by reviewing case precedent, pulling file on blah blah, re-reading the blah blah report.

But you seriously need to get off the "pity me" theme and believing you cannot explain what you are doing. You can, you must, and if you want this job, you should see this as a chance to get on that long road of trust-rebuilding.[/quote]
