Good Morning Carole, Objective differing opinions are the center of great debate and most wecome of course... I must admit, I am particularly blessed in my situation at work. My "bosses" all worked for me or along side me in previous years. One of my direct "bosses" was once my clerk and she has often said she felt she was an integral part of a team effort. Now she in particular makes me feel I am still integral to the "team effort" and all the "bosses" have gone out of their way to let me know this is not a decision to be taken in isolation, behind closed doors, by any of the parties involved. No, the decision of how to accommodate my employment has been a shared supportive open consultive process with myself as the ultimate decision maker. Now, if the team effort were instead to give everyone, who doesn't 'zactly fit some pre-conceived mold, the BOOT... YIKES!! I must confess I had quite forgotten that is so often the case. Designer Parkinson's and designer employers.... Thankyou Carole, for the gentle whap of reality...
