OP, I wish you were able to see all that you do well, and get some help on your self-esteem. You are clearly a valued employee, if you have been there for 14 years and allowed to telework. EVERYONE has schedule conflicts. EVERYONE. And honestly, as a manager, I would be more than willing to work with you if I knew your husband was deployed and serving our country. BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH IT. [/quote]

That's not every manager. Lots these days are understandably anti-military.[/quote]
OP, I think you are past help. But I do want to address this misconception.

I am practically a pacifist, and I guess you can interpret that as being anti-military intervention. But that doesn't translate to our service men and women and their families. As a manager, I would bend over backward to accommodate your situation...and I'd actually be offended if you didn't think you could ask for my help.[/quote]

This. I am a huge flaming liberal and also a manager of people. When one of my employee’s husbands was deployed, I told her just let me know any flexibility she needed. She did training remote, worked from home more often and obviously needed more leeway for kid sick days and school events than someone who shares those duties with a spouse. I would have moved recurring meetings for her if she asked. [/quote]
