My manager gets into the office
at 9:30 am every morning.
She stays until 9 pm.
I, personally, like to
work the same hours but earlier.
However, I know that part of my job
is to support my manager.
I work the same hours she does.
My coworker insists on working the early hours.
She is seen as a slacker.
Her coworkers are forced to cover for her,
completing those last minute requests
all managers have.
Because I’m there to answer questions
about her role
and she isn’t,
I am, like it or not, gradually becoming her boss.
If you care about progressing in your career
(and I don’t think my coworker does),
work the same hours as your boss.
