A quotation from Robert Bolt

MORE: (looks at him: takes him aside: lowered voice) Have I your word, that what we say here is between us and has no existence beyond these walls?
NORFOLK: (impatient) Very well.
MORE: (almost whispering) And if the King should command you to repeat what I have said?
NORFOLK: I should keep my word to you!
MORE: Then what has become of your oath of obedience to the King?
NORFOLK: (indignant) You lay traps for me!
MORE: (now grown calm) No, I show you the times.

Robert Bolt (1924-1995) English dramatist
A Man for All Seasons, play, Act 1 (1960)

“You can’t be a manager in a decently-sized company to make it easier for your night owl underlings.”

I refuse to accept this.

I don’t know what you deem ‘decently-sized’, but for the last 20-some years (since we adjusted our hiring contracts back in 2005 after I stopped working as an employee and switched to employer full time) we have tried to do just that: make it easier for our team (our people) to work when they perform best and that suits them and their life to the fullest.

But it is not easy. Customers and suppliers just do not (want to) understand. And if the moment you work is spreaded across the clock is combined with different communication styles and registration of what has been done is also hard, the cost of getting things completed is sometimes very high.

In the end working like this costs a lot of effort of everybody and every time the team changes you have to go through a cycle of ‘redefinition’ of what is considered reasonable and what is acceptable.

I guess that is why many people just ‘accept’ what is deemed ‘normal’ and adjust, at the cost of those who can’t. I will never! #promise
