[quote=Anonymous]I think some of you need to cut the OP some slack. I agree that if OP is not meeting stated deadlines and requirements, then OP is the problem.  However, the issue (though admittedly it's difficult to tell from the scant information provided) may be that OP has a micromanager who insists on the OP do his/her work a certain way.  Every single employee in the world is going to have his/her own work style.  Some of us prefer phone, some of us prefer email.  Some of us work four straight hours on a  project; others prefer to work two hours on one project, then switch to another for awhile, then return to the first project with a fresh eye.  Some of us are fine eating lunch at our desk every day; some of us need to get some fresh air and sunlight on their lunch break to most productive in the afternoon.  If you are meeting deadlines and doing good work, it should be your business how you get work done.  Managers who insist that you do what they want you to do every minute of the day are awful to work for.  They sap morale and productivity (because they inetrrupt constantly to find out if you've done X yet - when the deadline to finish X is in two weeks) and create anxiety and resentment.

I don't know whether that's the situation here or not, but if it is, then OP has a legitimate problem.  The only solution may be finding a boss who gives their supervisees some breathing room and trusts them to achieve their work targets according to their own work style.  [/quote]
