I am a consultant, on a cool mission. I love my job, love many of my customers, do it dearly, patiently, but my boss (the one inside the client company) is putting a useless pressure on me. Useless and at the edge of what a boss has the right to do. Well, beyond that edge... Anyway, it is going past my limits: we have three shifts, 7:30 AM / 8:30 AM / 9:30 AM. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I start at 7:30 because of my nightly classes, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 9AM to have some time to actually sleep and recover. My boss has decided to force a monthly, unique shift per person which is... the opposite of the purpose of such a shift. Which will force me to always, always wake up at 6AM, regardless of my classes which end at 10PM. (12 hours work with only a few pauses and six hours to sleep, most of the rest are transports). Which will force the other persons in my team to accept later shifts, not convenient to them. If he was only constantly and publicly insulting me, picking on me, displaying jealousy towards excellent relationship with users (have received lots of gifts so far), he'd be enough of a pain in the ass. But what is in question here is my right to conciliate nightly studies with my mission... although studying software engineering "might" be a benefit to the company. ----------------------------------------- So the dilemma here, and I have gotten ready to do it, is: do I say "sayonara f**ers" and quit this position I love, for the sake of being able to study, or do I keep bowing down before the one I serve (I heard it would get me what I deserve)?
