[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]So email and call her Friday at 2 And ask for a return call/email cob Friday.[/b] I'm all about flexibility but people taking advantage of it make it hard for everyone. I have a couplewoloyees who use our company's flexible working hours, come in at 6 and leave at 2 or 3. And if hey leave at 3 they combine those extra house and take off early on Friday which means they leave at 10. Most people don't come in until 8:30 and noon knows what they do from 6-8  we have no coverage from those early birds after 2 if something nees to be done. Frustrating and someone else always picks up the evening slack. [/quote]

Don't do this unless you need a response by COB Friday.  Why would you make up a fake deadline -- just to see if she's abusing the system?

Also, I agree that the CC won't have the effect that you think.  Not only are you cluttering up someone's inbox without context, it's an asshole move.  And my response to asshole moves like that is, "I don't understand why XX is copied here, but in response to your question _______."  Now the you have to either hijack the email thread with your tattling or eat crow and continue with the original question.

Seriously, unless her schedule is messing up your productivity, stay out of it.[/quote]
