May 22, 2013 at 16:11 comment added shauneba Thanks. Yeah I definitely need to get it in writing, it was my own naivety that stopped me doing so last time (This is my first job).
May 22, 2013 at 15:21 comment added Onno Ouch, that kind of changes the situation. You see, you were never given the promise officially! It seems that there's just one boss that thinks it's ok, and that the others disagree with him. Given that you were more or less turned down last year, will make it likely that the same will happen now unless company policy has changed in the mean time. I'd say your best bet will be to explain why you need this so much. And you should definitely get it on paper, so that there are no excuses afterwards.

May 22, 2013 at 15:05 comment added shauneba Thanks so much! The story with the flexible working - last year I asked for it, they explained that as the support team can't have it (they're bound to the phone hours) the developers can't, but one of my bosses said I could have it informally, e.g. occasionally leave an hour early. All three company directors were in the meeting when this was decided. A few months later I asked one of the directors to leave early and was denied, and he claimed that was never agreed previously. Perhaps this would be better as its own question though?
