Can you rent an alternate space that's bigger? How about renting a tent? Or a mobile classroom? That's all I could come up with. <*)))><

You say you are willing to wait until "we are not swamped" so why would you need an "excuse"?\n\nIf it is actually that hard to get time off, just tell your supervisor that you have been unusually stressed lately and you need to have a day to just get away and calm down.  Ask about a week ahead of time so it doesn't come as surprise to your sup.\nIf your sup is decent he/she will realize you are being thoughtful and responsible by asking ahead of time and should honor that.        \nAt least you will have the knowledge that you were honest.  \n\nA sup who isn't responsive to the needs of the workers will soon find they have a hostile working class to deal with and that will come back to bite in the arse.\n\nWhere I worked, we had one boss who thought he had to act like a dictator to control everyone. When he finally PO'd everyone to the point they hated him we started watching for ways to get rid of him. Eventually the attendance and work output showed on paper that he wasn't getting the job done and they moved him to another area. A friend and I had a talk with him before he was moved and we did our best to make him realize he caused all of the problems in our area.  He didn't listen. He acted the same in the new area and the people there were a lot meaner than us. They sabotaged everything he did and made his bosses know why things went downhill in their area. The company sent him to some training school to readjust his technique and then transferred him to a different facility where no one knew him.  We heard the people there slashed the tires on his car!! After that I don't know what happened. I don't condone the slashing but I do understand the frustration of an unreasonable boss. They are actually counter productive.\n\nGood luck and remember, honesty always pays good dividends...

I don't know your type of business, but can you remove the chairs from your office so it is a little less inviting?\nIf that's not possible, you may just have to say "Can I talk with you later? I have to get this work done right now."\nI agree that's not easy, but some people just don't "get it" unless you spell it out. Good luck to you.

make an official complain to the site \nif that doesn't work ask the job centre for who to make a complaint to

Tell your boss.  If that doesn't work, then tell their boss and so forth... If all that fails, then look for a legal solution -- file a formal complaint -- in short, do something about it.\n\nIn the meantime, while you're working on all that -- it might be a good time to find another position in that company or a new job -- Noone should have to put up with that abuse. \n\nGood luck!

You can't. there must be some form of power. for every action there is a re-action. It's like getting a mule to move, without an incentive.

Perhaps something like this that can't be automatically dealt with needs to be changed. Finish your work right away and then spend the rest of your time relaxing. It really helps!

You should look into filing a lawsuit at least against him, but possibly against the company for letting it go on. They have clearly not made an effective effort to make a livable work environment for you. Contact a local lawyer.

They can't do that. Talk to a lawyer.

You have no "right to work".. If you are late a couple of more times they will prove it to you permanently.

I am very punctual myself and so are most of my good friends. People who are habitually late for thing tend to irritate me because it's disrespectful, irresponsible, and really makes the person look bad. I've handled these people in two ways a) by not inviting them places because I don't want to deal with their mess or b) if I otherwise like them, lie about the time and ask them to show up ten minutes early.
