[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I like the suggestion to copy our supervisor on these emails so he can come to his own conclusions.

For those of you who are talking about her taking leave, flex-schedules, this is an ongoing issue with a consistent pattern of behavior (email Jane on Friday at 2, wait to hear from her after 10 on Monday).

Also, this is a fairly small group in a Fed job where things are more transparent than mega-offices where folk are working off-site, traveling etc, taking conference calls etc. [/quote]

I'm one of the PPs, and I'm a Fed in an office of 12 people.  I will often take an hour of leave one or two days/week, to help with my commute.  I have never felt the need to tell non-supervisors that I'm doing that.  Probably some of my co-workers think I'm skipping out early, but my timecard is in order and my boss has no issue with it.

I don't think the cc idea will have the impact you expect.  If a direct report started ccing me on emails to her colleague, without other context, my first thought would not be to investigate the recipient's hours.  I would be mildly annoyed at the extra email volume and assume the recipient omitted me from the reply.[/quote]
