I am the Ex. Director for a new, small history museum. I am an exempt
employee. My board will not give me hour for hour comp time, nor revise the
personnel policy to reflect any discretionary time.  I was hired to "do
whatever it takes to get the job done". "The Wal Mart manager works
consistent 80 hour work weeks and thrives on it". You get the picture?  I
work consistently on weekends and evenings, well beyond a 40 hour week. I
am not going to be allowed to leave the building from 9-5 on personal
business unless I take leave.

Am I being a whiner and this is consistent with museums, or should I press
for some policy that allows us "professionals" to know when we can be away
from the building?

Thanks
